Hampshire will replace Glamorgan in Pro40 Division One after hammering them by 151 runs in their play-off.

Hants, who finished third in Division Two during the league phase, made 265-9 thanks to Chris Benham's 130-ball 158.

James Bruce (3-48) and Sean Ervine (4-24) ripped through the Welsh county to leave them in disarray on 89-9.

Andrew Davies, who earlier took 3-53, delayed the inevitable with 22 not out but the visitors were all out for 114 with almost 15 overs to spare.

Slower Ball

Hampshire's score was the best in the competition and was easily dominated by Benham, who faced the first ball of the innings and was finally out at the end of the 39th over.

He put on 106 with Michael Brown in 16 overs and had hit 21 fours and a hooked six off Davies before James Franklin bowled him.

Glamorgan, who finished third from bottom in Division One, needed a positive start but apart from pinch-hitter David Harrison, who hit five fours in his 28, there was little else.

Skipper Shane Warne took the last two wickets to have Robert Croft caught on the mid-wicket boundary and Dean Cosker snaffled by Bruce.
