Moore’s five-for seals it
Kalea Moore turned a defendable total into a decisive win, ripping through The Blaze’s middle and tail as Surrey Women closed out a 34-run victory. After Surrey posted 155/8, The Blaze briefly looked in the hunt at 48/1 in the powerplay, but Moore’s strikes ensured the chase never regained momentum. Even Charli Knott’s extraordinary 6/25 couldn’t drag the game back once Surrey had banked enough runs.
Franklin-Monaghan middle-overs surge
The match was effectively won in Surrey’s middle overs, where they accelerated from 42/2 to 127/5 with an 85/3 mid-innings phase at 8.5 an over. The 80-run partnership between Phoebe Franklin and Alice Monaghan provided the platform: Franklin’s 46 off 30 kept the tempo high while wickets fell around them late. That push meant The Blaze needed to keep scoring through the back end, but their death overs stalled to 10/4.
Franklin sets, Moore finishes
Franklin’s intent ensured Surrey didn’t waste their start, and Monaghan’s 35 off 27 kept the partnership moving without reckless shots. Moore then owned the defining passage, taking 5/22 to turn a competitive chase into a collapse. Knott was the game’s standout with the ball, but Surrey’s batting surge and Moore’s control meant her spell became a highlight in defeat rather than a match-turner.
Form favoured Blaze, collapse didn’t
Pre-match indicators leaned toward The Blaze’s recent wins and deeper experience, and their powerplay batting supported that script. The problem was that Surrey’s attack found the exact seam The Blaze couldn’t cover: once the ball softened, boundary options dried up and the chase became risk-heavy. From 48/1, the innings slid to 111/6 in the middle overs, and the required rate spiked beyond control.
