England win toss v Bangladesh & opt to bowl. Same XI.

How is Chloe Tryon South Africa's front line spinner?

South Africa have been bowled out for 69 in 20.4 overs. A truly dire batting performance on a good pitch doing absolutely nothing, in which 6 of their batters were clean bowled.

South Africa 31/5. England bowling straight. South Africa missing them 🤦🏻‍♂️

I wonder if there will be any offers for Smith, Gregory or Franklin?

England win toss v South Africa & bowled. Team.... Beaumont, Jones, Knight, NSB, Dunkley, Lamb, Capsey, Dean, Ecclestone, Smith, Bell

But with only 6 games left in her ODI career, so not desperately relevant tbh......

Australia post 326 ao v New Zealand having been 128/5. Ash Gardner 115

Think Australua may hit 400+ today v NZ

In non-World Cup news Freya Kemp is replacing Chloe Tryon at the Perth Scorchers in the WBBL. Great opportunity for her.

**WWC warm-up** 10 overs Australia 74/2 Healy & Sutherland gone Litchfield 44* Gardner 12*

JUST IN: Grace Harris has been ruled out of the 2025 World Cup due to a calf strain sustained during the third ODI against India. She will be replaced by Heather Graham in Australia's squad

A fine review of the Final & the first MBODC season.....

Thanks Freya ❤️ youtu.be/PymOWy_vskc?...

The umpires have a tough job to do, but… Gaby Lewis should have been out here. #ODC 🏏

... and Smale should have been out here. #ODC 🏏

No reviews in this final of a major women's competition. Three decisions which certainly would have been reviewed all gone against Hampshire 🤔

At the Utilita for Hants v Lancs in the MBODC Final Lancs have won the toss and elected to field

Last day of the women's county season on Sunday, as Hampshire take on Lancashire in the Metro Bank Cup final. This season's Tier 1 livestreams for the Women's One Day Cup & T20 Blast have received 8.8 million total views, compared with a combined 4.4 million for the RHF Trophy & CE Cup last year.

"I was planning on playing on Sunday and no one really knowing beyond the girls. I didn't want the focus to be on me." Freya Davies insists on Hampshire focus ahead of retirement | @nickfriend.bsky.social

India are just going to fall short, but 775 runs have already been scored on this pitch.

Smriti Mandhana goes to a 50 ball 💯 with a 6 off King! India 184/2 after 18 overs.

From 378/4 in the 45th Australia finish on 412 all out in the 48th

In India Australia are 178/2 after 25 overs Perry 44* Mooney 19* Voll 81 Healy 30 Heading for 400?

England batting not going so well in 2nd warm-up game 111/5 after 25 overs

The first team England face in the World Cup are South Africa.....they are currently 238/0 v Pakistan....although it's now raining.....

Sarah Glenn has left The Blaze for Yorkshire....

England are playing New Zealand in an unofficial 50 over warm-up. Teams.... Eng - Beaumont, Jones, Knight, Lamb, NSB, Dunkley, Capsey, DWH, Dean, Ecclestone, Smith NZ - Bates, Plimmer, Kerr A, James, Devine, Halliday, Green, Kerr J, Inglis, Fair, Carson

That was the sixth highest successful women's List A run chase in England. In a remarkable season that has completely transformed the concept of a chaseable target, five of the top six highest have occurred in Metro Bank League 1 this year.

**MBODC Semi-Final Update** Hampshire 290/6 v Surrey 287 ao Hampshire win by 4 wickets Georgia Adams 107* Mary Taylor 60* Well done today to both teams for playing an entire game in constant bad lught, wind & thick drizzle.
