With rains ruining the day for most people in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789, which was also hit by rain, but allowed the first innings to face 10 overs, however, in the second innings, the fielding side could bowl only six overs before play was called off, at Kennington Oval, London.
Needing a total of 85 runs to win in 10 overs, Hampshire hammered a belligerent batting onslaught with openers JHK Adams and JM Vince jabbing a stand of 63 runs in 5.4 overs, before rain came pouring down once more, causing the match officials to give the win to Hampshire after enforcing the Duckworth Lewis Method, where according to the revised target, the side needed to score 45 runs in 5.4 overs to win the match.
With this win, Hampshire have secured a second place in South Group just below http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sussex-c852 with 11 points from eight games.
Earlier, the 20-over game was reduced to 10 overs as play finally began with delay.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 lost his wicket without scoring a run in the first over of the day.
The demise of KP devastated Surrey, who were counting on the all-rounder to come through.
Surrey then looked to wicketkeeper/batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Symonds-c44611 to salvage some glory, but the partnership faltered at a time when the side had amassed 33 runs on the board, as Davies fell after smashing a fiery knock of 30 runs off 11 deliveries.
Then with 44 runs on the board, JJ Roy, also hit rock bottom as he walked off the field after scoring a short innings of four runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ZS-Ansari-c98641 was then the lone warrior, as he stood in the middle and bolstered an unbeaten innings of 35 runs, to help his side reach a tally of 84, still this was not enough as it could not save Surrey from losing the game.
LA Dawson, who grabbed two wickets for Hampshire, was named as the Player of the Match.
