Ireland international Lewis led a brilliant chase of 289 with 141 off 143, helped by an exceptional 72 from Seren Smale - with whom she put on 144.

Lancashire started the season by winning the Vitality T20 Women's County Cup, and added a second piece of silverware of 2025 when Ailsa Lister sprinted through a single with nine balls to spare.

For Hampshire, whose total was flourished by Maia Bouchier and Georgia Adams' fifties, it was a double One-Day Cup heartbreak - after they lost to Worcestershire Rapids in the men's competition final on Saturday.
