The Blaze blitz Durham to go top
The Blaze decided to bat first after winning the toss in Chester-le-Street and despite 47 from opener Prisha Thanawala, they had slipped to 91-5.
But helped by a strong 60 not out from captain Kirstie Gordon, and a partnership of 83 for the ninth wicket with Lucy Higham (32), they reached 240-8 off their 50 overs.
That proved far too much of a total for the home side, who were reduced to 51-6 as Phillips ripped through the top order and eventually finished with 5-49 in her maiden List A five-wicket haul.
Grace Thompson battled for 49 for Durham before she was the last player out as The Blaze wrapped up victory with 10.4 overs to spare.

There was a top score of just 32 from Amanda-Jane Wellington as Hampshire were eventually bowled out for only 153 in the 43rd over, with Cross leading the way with 3-31.
A first-wicket partnership of 93 then set up a comfortable chase for Lancashire as Emma Lamb with 56 and Eve Jones' 47 laid the platform for the Red Rose to see it home with 16.3 overs in hand.
