Overview
- Birmingham Phoenix Women defended 148 at Edgbaston thanks to Emma Lamb’s 55 and disciplined bowling led by Emily Arlott, securing an 11-run win over Trent Rockets.
- Nat Sciver-Brunt’s 64 during the chase marked her 1,000th run in The Hundred, making her the competition’s first woman to reach that landmark.
- Trent Rockets Men required just 123 to win and cruised to a six-wicket victory behind Lockie Ferguson’s 3-20 and Tom Banton’s 42 off 29 balls.
- Liam Livingstone and Joe Clarke mounted a mid-innings recovery for Phoenix Men, but a rapid Rockets top order and tight death bowling sealed the chase.
- Previews are spotlighting squad rotations, fantasy picks, and betting odds as both teams prepare for Sunday’s encounters with Northern Superchargers.
