Maia Bouchier scored a second successive century to help Hampshire beat Surrey and send them to the Metro Bank One-Day Cup final for the second season in a row.

Bouchier followed her 118 against The Blaze with 117 not out against Surrey, as Hampshire thrashed their neighbours by 194 runs in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup semi-finals.

Team-mates Freya Kemp and Abi Norgrove scored 77 and 60 respectively, as Hampshire piled up 303 for five off their allotted 50 overs.

Surrey were bowled out for 109 in response, with Hampshire’s Australian star Amanda-Jade Wellington picking up five for 19.

This was a rerun of last year’s semi-final. On that occasion, Surrey chose to bat in grim conditions but this time – with unthreatening clouds above – they stuck their hosts in.

Despite Bouchier quickly slotting into gear, the visitors got a foothold in the match by dismissing Ella McCaughan and Georgia Adams inside the first 11 overs.

Things felt even at 50 for two, but Kemp’s arrival and her aggressive batting swung the momentum.

Her 77 off 63 balls, in a 110-run third-wicket partnership with a supporting Bouchier, was a masterclass in powerful attacking batting, attacking the mid-wicket boundary at will.

Kemp and Rhianna Southby were both caught and bowled, but the impetus remained with Hampshire, with Norgrove arriving to continue her impressive form.

Both Bouchier and Norgrove have had outstanding One-Day Cups, and the pair were relentless in wearing Surrey down as they took the home side past 300.

The 304-run target for Surrey always looked a tough ask on a good but tired pitch, and despite Rachel King giving them a solid start, the chase never gathered traction.

Wellington finished the innings off by having Kira Chathli stumped, to complete her second five-wicket haul of the competition.

Hampshire Women will host The Blaze in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup final today (Saturday) at Utilita Bowl. Tickets are available at: www.utilitabowl.com/cricket/tickets/
