Key Stats

Verdict

All four models favour Hampshire, with the model average at HAM 65% vs YOR 35%. The model range for Hampshire runs from 55% to 69%. Bookmakers agree, pricing Hampshire at 58% (1.65) vs Yorkshire at 42% (2.25). Key stats favour Hampshire 5-1, driven by their stronger recent form and edges across multiple bowling-phase economy metrics.

Wood’s spell sets the tone

Chris Wood’s new-ball control and late-over composure were the hinge of the night, keeping Yorkshire to a chaseable total before Hampshire scrambled home by 2 wickets with one ball remaining. The finish was tight enough to make the early advantage feel fragile, but Hampshire had just enough in the bank from the first half of the chase to absorb the wobble and still cross the line at 155/8 in 19.5.

Powerplay burst, middle-overs squeeze

The game was largely won in the first six overs of Hampshire’s chase. They surged to 64/2 in the powerplay at 10.7 an over, with Joe Weatherley instantly putting Yorkshire’s quicks under pressure. That burst mattered because the middle overs became a grind: Hampshire managed only 62/5 through the middle phase (6.2 rpo) as Daniel Moriarty’s 3/27 and disciplined lengths forced miscued hits and soft dismissals. Even so, the powerplay head start meant Hampshire didn’t need a perfect finish.

Weatherley and Wood do the heavy lifting

Weatherley’s 63 off 33 (SR 191) was the innings that made the chase possible, highlighted by the 59-run stand with James Vince that stabilised and accelerated at once. For Yorkshire, Moriarty’s three strikes were the reason the last over even mattered, while Andrew Tye’s 44 off 17 provided the late-innings punch that lifted Yorkshire to 150 and briefly threatened to steal the game.

Favourites, but not comfortable

Pre-match pointers leaned Hampshire’s way on form and bowling efficiency, and the match followed that script in patches. Wood and Scott Currie (3/31) ensured Yorkshire never truly cashed in despite a late spike, and Hampshire’s top order provided the kind of powerplay momentum their numbers suggested. Yorkshire did expose a softer edge, though: their death-overs hitting (45 runs in the final phase) and the middle-overs choke made it a genuine nail-biter rather than a routine chase.
