Rahul Chahar Seals Surrey Win With Maiden Ten-For On County Debut

Hampshire’s 20-run defeat leaves their Division One status uncertain pending the Durham–Yorkshire result.

Overview

  • Chahar finished with match figures of 10 wickets, taking 8-51 in the second innings for the third-best haul by a Surrey bowler this century.
  • Surrey set a target of 181 after posting 281 in their second innings before Hampshire slipped from a 61-run opening stand to defeat.
  • The leg-spinner removed Ali Orr, Liam Dawson and Washington Sundar in a decisive burst, having also dismissed Sundar in the first innings.
  • Play resumed with Hampshire nine down at 148 chasing 181, and Chahar ended James Fuller’s resistance on the fourth morning to clinch victory.
  • Surrey were ruled out of the title race on day two after Nottinghamshire’s bonus points, while Hampshire now rely on Yorkshire beating Durham, with a draw enough for Durham to stay up.
