Knott sparks Surrey collapse
Charli Knott’s spell flipped the match on its head, dragging The Blaze back after Surrey’s early dash and setting up a chase that never needed panic. Surrey were bowled out for 105 in 15.2 overs, and although the target kept the game within reach for a while, The Blaze’s top order stayed composed to reach 106 for 4 with 21 balls remaining.
Middle overs decide everything
Surrey’s powerplay promised far more than it delivered: 50 for 3 at 8.3 an over, with Bryony Smith looking busy and positive. Then the middle overs became a slow-motion collapse — 55 for 7 at 5.9 — as The Blaze’s seam-and-spin combo kept taking wickets and denying any reset partnership (Surrey’s best stand was only 28). With no death-overs surge at all, the innings ended early and left Surrey’s bowlers defending a sub-par total.
Bryce anchors, Knott finishes
Knott was the standout, her 4 for 15 repeatedly breaking Surrey’s attempts to rebuild and ensuring the innings never reached a defendable length. Grace Ballinger’s 3 for 18 added the second punch, keeping Surrey in a constant state of damage control. In the chase, Kathryn Bryce’s 34 off 34 was the stabiliser, and her 43-run partnership with Knott defused the only real danger period before Tammy Beaumont’s 29 helped keep the finish routine.
Favourites undone by one phase
Pre-match numbers leaned Surrey’s way on overall strength and recent trends, but this game was decided by a matchup the models can’t always price in: The Blaze’s ability to squeeze and strike through the middle. Surrey’s advantage depended on batting depth and control after the powerplay; instead, they lost shape immediately once the first wave of aggression passed. The Blaze, meanwhile, chased at a steady clip through the same phase (64 for 2 in the middle overs), making the target feel smaller with every over.
