Talking about the clash, Hampshire had opted to bowl, but after a good start, could not stop Will Jacks (64), Curran (69) and Sunil Narine (52) to take Surrey to 228. 

Hampshire in response got off to the worst start as they lost Nick Gubbins for a two-ball duck before they had a 55-run reviving stand. 

But that still could not save them as Curran struck and the side was reduced to 67 for 6. In fact, the game was as good as done at that stage in the 8th over. 

James Fuller did try to take the game deep with his 34-ball 43 along with some cameos from the lower order, but could not save the game as Surrey had a comfortable 72-run win.
