Team overview
Hampshire Hawks at a glance
Hampshire Hawks are Hampshire Cricket's men's T20 side. The county uses the Hawks identity in the Vitality Blast while also competing as Hampshire in the County Championship and One-Day Cup.
The Hawks topped the 2026 South Group with eight wins, four losses, 32 points and a +0.283 net run rate. They beat Essex by 75 runs in the quarter-final and Nottinghamshire by 27 runs in the semi-final before Northamptonshire won the final by 14 runs.
Joe Weatherley led Hampshire with 591 runs at 53.73, James Vince followed with 511 and produced the team's highest score of 125. Scott Currie took 26 wickets, Sonny Baker 21 and Liam Dawson combined 184 runs with nine wickets.
