Spence steers Surrey into One-Day Cup semis
"Teenager Jemima Spence top scored as Surrey beat Durham to secure fourth place in the group stage and a spot in the semi-finals of the Women's One-Day Cup. Victory by 86 runs, on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method, delivered five points to seal Surrey's progress into the knockout stages. Spence, 19, hit a career best 68 off 63 balls in only her second senior innings of 2025, sharing a partnership of 112 for the fifth wicket with England's Alice Davidson-Richards."
"Their efforts ensured Surrey meet table-toppers Hampshire in the last four on Wednesday after the latter hung on to top spot by virtue of a washout against Lancashire. The Blaze beat Essex by 35 runs on DLS to draw level on points with Hants but it was not enough to overhaul them for top spot on net run rate. The Trent Bridge outfit will also enjoy home advantage for their semi-final, also on Wednesday, against Lancashire"
"Spence and Davidson-Richards (65no) helped Surrey post an impressive 290-7. In a rain-interrupted reply, Durham fell well short, skittled for 138 with Surrey spinner Danielle Gregory taking 3-24. Essex were restricted to 211 in 47.4 overs with Orla Prendergast taking 3-43. The Blaze were 59-0 when rain ended the day's play with the chasing side well ahead of the revised DLS target."
