Hampshire prevail over Lancashire in Women's T20 Blast

WOMEN'S T20 BLAST ROUNDUP: Left-arm spinner, Bex Tyson, impressed with 3 for 27 to restrict the hosts to just 122 for 8, which took 19 overs to chase down

Old Trafford: Lancashire 122-8, Hampshire 125-2 - Hampshire win by eight wickets

Hampshire Hawks won the battle of the two in-form sides in women's county cricket this summer as three wickets for impressive spinner Bex Tyson set up a commanding T20 Blast win over Lancashire Thunder at Emirates Old Trafford. 

Left-armer Tyson returned an excellent season's best 3 for 27 from four overs as Thunder scrambled to 122 for 8, including 37 not out off 20 balls for Ailsa Lister.

The Hawks then sealed their second successive win at the start of the Blast, this one by eight wickets with one over remaining, as opener Ella McCaughan top-scored with eight fours in an unbeaten career best 68 off 57 balls. 

Hampshire currently lead the One-Day Cup standings from second-placed Lancashire, both sides having won six from eight in that competition. Thunder also won the County T20 Cup late last month. Thunder have now won one, lost two in the Blast. 

McCaughan scored a century in a 50-over win against Lancashire at Southport in April.

As one left-arm spinner in Tyson impressed, Lancashire were missing England's Sophie Ecclestone because of a quad injury.
