Surrey Secure Women's T20 Final Spot After Durham Washout

Surrey have secured their place in both the quarter-finals and the inaugural final of the women's T20 Blast after their group match against Durham was washed out, leaving them uncatchable at the top of the table. Surrey's dominant performance throughout the group stage earned them direct entry to the final at the Kia Oval on July 27, with The Blaze and Bears competing in the semi-final. In the men's T20 Vitality Blast, Surrey also secured a quarter-final spot following a convincing 67-run victory over South Group leaders Somerset, with opener Will Jacks top-scoring. Hampshire Hawks' men's team is close to clinching their quarter-final berth, boosted by captain James Vince’s unbeaten 98 and a strong bowling performance, while their women's team were eliminated after a loss to Birmingham Bears. Other notable results include Lancashire rising to the top of the North Group after defeating Durham, and teams like Northants, Worcestershire, and Derbyshire strengthening their positions in the competition. Surrey's sustained excellence in both the men's and women's competitions highlights their strong campaign this season.
