Lancashire beat the rain and Warwickshire to win by five wickets to maintain their hopes of booking a home semi-final in the women’s One-Day Cup.<\/p>\n
After the visitors had scored 283-7 from their 50 overs at Sale, Lancashire were set a revised 172 from 22 overs via the DLS Method. <\/p>\n
They reached that target with five balls to spare, led by an excellent 75 from Ireland captain Gaby Lewis.<\/p>\n
But Surrey’s wait to reach the semi-finals goes on as their match with Essex at Beckenham failed to produce a result.<\/p>\n
Fine centuries from Emma Jones (141) and Alice Davidson-Richards (107) helped them reach 313-5 off 45 overs, but the rain arrived before the visitors could bat. <\/p>\n
That was more cricket than was possible at Utilita Bowl where group leaders Hampshire saw their match with Somerset abandoned without a ball being bowled.<\/p>\n
Hampshire, The Blaze and Lancashire have already made the semi-finals, with Surrey, Durham and Somerset looking to claim the final place in Saturday’s last round of group matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lancashire beat the rain and Warwickshire to win by five wickets to maintain their hopes of booking a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128258,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-128257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128257\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
