Match scorecard

Lancashire opener Gaby Lewis hit a sensational 141 not out off 143 balls to lead her team to a six-wicket victory in the One-Day Cup final against Hampshire.

Ireland captain Lewis batted all the way through the innings as Lancashire chased down their target of 289 with nine balls to spare.

She put on 144 with Seren Smale, who scored 72, and then had useful partnerships of 61 with captain Ellie Threlkeld and an unbroken 46 with Ailsa Lister to see the job through.

Hampshire's innings had been set up by 77 from captain Georgia Adams and Maia Bouchier's 66, but the team that finished top of the group stages came up short.

It was a third defeat in a final for a Hampshire side in nine days, after they lost in both the men's T20 Blast and One-Day Cup.
