full and clipped leg side, goes to the rope - Surrey win by five wickets! They were dominant in the group stage and claim the inaugural Women's Blast trophy on home soil at the Kia Oval
WAR Women vs SUR Women, Final at London, Vitality Blast Women, Jul 27 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary
SUR Women won by 5 wickets (with 20 balls remaining)
7.20pm: Hugs and handshakes on the field as Surrey's players come down to join the matchwinner, Grace Harris, and her unbeaten partner Kira Chathli. They put in a concerted team effort with the ball, and then survived a couple of wobbles with the bat to bring it home with 3.2 overs to spare. And there's also time to follow the closing stages of the women's Euro final, too, with England and Spain currently in extra time out in Basel. That's a wrap from The Oval for tonight. Bye!

Chathli finds the boundary now, clean hit! Dances out and drills through the line, jogs a couple of yards to meet her partner for a chat as the ball flies away
Harris humpty! Blammed into the seats at wide long-on! Plants the front foot and slog-sweeps Taylor unceremoniously for six. One of the biggest hits of the day
tossed up outside off, Chathli looks to reverse, gets one past the keeper
Last five, Surrey need 23 from 30
Chathli stretches out and paddles from wide of off, short fine leg can't prevent a single

looped up straight and swung out to deep midwicket, well fielded by Perrin
dabbed towards short third
nudged off the pads

Baker to bowl out
another slowie, Chathli waits for it and hauls in front of square. Again the fielding isn't clean and they pinch two

Kira Chathli walks out with the score on 123 for 5(!)
