Yorkshire v Hampshire Women
Metro Bank One-Day Cup
Wednesday 13 May (10:30am start)
Clifton Park, York
Hampshire head to York as they take on the White Rose in the latest round of women’s Metro Bank One-Day Cup fixtures.
The Rose and Crown sit second in the table, four points behind The Blaze, with four wins from their six matches.
Last time out against Somerset, Maia Bouchier’s career-best innings of 143 from 111 balls led the team to victory, alongside 64 from Freya Kemp as Hampshire chased down 282 with 9.2 overs to spare.
Naomi Dattani and Amanda-Jade Wellington claimed two wickets each whilst seamer Poppy Tulloch claimed her first Hampshire wicket.
In their last outing, Yorkshire fell to a 13-run defeat to Essex.
Cordelia Griffith top scored with 69 but wickets from Scotland left-armer Rachel Slater and off spinner Claudie Cooper restricted Essex to 270/8.
World Cup winner and captain Lauren Winfield-Hill smashed 88 off 73 balls in Yorkshire’s reply, with an unbeaten 65 from Dutch international Sterre Kalis, but Eva Gray’s 3/51 and Sophia Smale’s 2/31 from ten overs helped bowl the Tykes out for 257.
In their first year as a Tier 1 county, Yorkshire currently lie in fifth place in the One Day Cup table.

Captain: Lauren Winfield-Hill
Head coach: Rich Pyrah
2025 finish: Champions (Tier 2)
2025 highest run-scorer: Ami Campbell (452)
2025 highest wicket-taker: Olivia Thomas (18)
Winter moves: International spin-bowling all-rounders Sarah Glenn (England) and Jess Jonassen (Australia) have signed two-year deals, the latter as an all-format overseas and the former coming from The Blaze. Scotland seamer Hannah Rainey joined on loan from Lancashire late last summer ahead of a permanent move. Another spin-bowling all-rounder Olivia Thomas has been elevated from an Academy to professional contract. Kevin Sharp returns to Yorkshire as an assistant coach.
The big question: How will Yorkshire fare in their first season in Tier 1? They enjoyed a successful Tier 2 campaign last year, winning the Metro Bank One-Day Cup, reaching the final of the Vitality Blast and the quarter-finals of the T20 County Cup. But this summer, it will be a different ball game. Head coach Rich Pyrah and Yorkshire’s management have confidence in the players’ ability but have urged patience.
Player to watch: Vice captain Maddie Ward, 21 years old, can do it all. She can keep wicket, bats in dynamic and inventive fashion, bowls spin when required and is a gun in the field. She even skippered Yorkshire last season when Lauren Winfield-Hill wasn’t available. When she first did it in June, aged 20 years and 133 days, Worksop-born Ward became the county’s second youngest ever captain – female or male.
Final thought: Yorkshire are very much looking at this as a long-term project. Results are not the be-all and end-all this season, across all formats. Development is more important to them. But if they can take a couple of scalps along the way, it would be a real shot in the arm for the White Rose county. And a Roses win against champions Lancashire would be ideal.
