Warwickshire lifted the season’s low point by beating Surrey, snapping a six‑match losing streak in the Women’s T20 Blast. Perrin made 50 and Freeborn added 51 to build an 88‑run first‑wicket stand. Georgia Redmayne contributed 28 and Mary Taylor unbroken 23, setting a solid platform.

Surrey’s opening partnership of 88, led by Alice Davidson‑Richards 39 and captain Bryony Smith 30, faltered after Taylor’s 3‑24 and Georgia Davis’s 3‑35. The collapse left Surrey scrambling, while Warwickshire’s bowlers tightened. The win lifts Warwickshire out of the bottom slot and repositions them in the middle of the table.

Meanwhile, Hampshire claimed the top spot with a bonus‑point victory over Yorkshire. Hawks captain Georgia Adams scored 30, partnered with Maia Bouchier’s 44 for a 68‑run first‑wicket stand, then took 2‑20. Yorkshire failed to chase 175, remaining winless, while Hampshire’s 30‑point haul keeps them firmly in the lead.

Durham’s Hollie Armitage guided the team to a 156 chase, scoring an unbeaten 65 off 45 balls and firing seven fours. Alex Griffiths and Chloe Skelton added 31 and 26 respectively, while Mady Villiers took 4‑28 to secure Durham’s fourth straight win. Somerset’s Sophie Luff top‑scored with 56, yet the visitors could not match the pressure.
