Durham 190/8 lost to Hampshire 193/3 by seven wickets

MAIA Bouchier and Charli Knott made light work of chasing down 191 as Hampshire beat Durham with a bonus point in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup women’s competition.

Bouchier crashed 53 - her third half-century of the summer - as she continued to rebuild her confidence after a difficult winter with England.

Knott oozed class for her first half-century of the One-Day Cup as Hampshire knocked off the runs three down with 74 balls to spare.

Earlier, Phoebe Turner had top-scored with 38 but Hampshire's spinners - led by two for Knott and incredibly economical spells for Linsey Smith and Bex Tyson - stifled Durham and kept them to an under-par total.
