LAST TIME OUT
Surrey met Hampshire at the Utilita Bowl at the start of their Metro Bank One Day Cup campaign back in April.
Despite losing by 13 runs, their chase of Hampshires 272/5 was emphatic.
Paige Scholfield set the tone at the top of the order, making 44-runs from 55 balls after the opening pair of Bryony Smith and Alice Monaghan fell early.
Wyatt-Hodge emerged at the crease in the 18th over as Surrey were 72/5. Getting to work quickly, the inform batter scored an impressive and much needed 119 from 86-balls.
Despite her fine contribution, the Three Feathers struggled to meet the host’s target and fell short in the 48th over, 259 all out.
Surrey now have the home advantage as they welcome Hampshire to Guildford on Wednesday and aim to return the favour.
HAMPSHIRE
Captain: Georgia Adams
Head coach: Paul Prichard
2025 finish: Runners-up
2025 highest run-scorer: Maia Bouchier (539)
2025 highest wicket-taker: Freya Davies (19)
Winter moves: The retirement of Freya Davies and the departure to Warwickshire of Mary Taylor has meant a major depletion in the fast-bowling cache. Hannah Hardwick and Francesca Sweet both arrive after successful trials and are capable of bowling pace. The ever-reliable Charli Knott has been replaced as overseas by leg-spinning all-rounder Amanda-Jade Wellington – who has previously taken plenty of wickets at Utilita Bowl for Southern Vipers and Southern Brave.
The big question: Will the domestic players step up when the England stars are away? With Maia Bouchier, Lauren Bell, Linsey Smith and Freya Kemp, Hampshire look a seriously impressive side. Without them things could be tricky. Ella McCaughan was exceptional before injury curtailed her 2025. She, Abi Norgrove, Georgia Adams, Rhianna Southby and Naomi Dattani have runs in them – which they will need to ease the pressure on an unproven bowling attack.
Player to watch: Hampshire need a young bowler to step up. After a breakout 2025, Daisy Gibb is tracking in the right direction to be that player. The 20-year-old mainly gained admirers in the Vitality Blast but converting her skiddy swing into 50-over consistency feels a natural next step, and she could be a danger to top-order batters up and down the country.
Final thought: Hampshire followed in the footsteps of their Southern Vipers forebearers in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup last season. Throughout that time, they have always found a way to regenerate and continue their dominant 50-over legacy. After losing key Vipers players, they topped the group stage but lost in the final. This year will need another rebirth, however, a top-four finish will still be the target.
