Nat Sciver-Brunt powers Trent Rockets into Hundred final

England all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt timed her introduction to perfection as 32 off 19 balls batting down the order secured Trent Rockets' progress to the final of The Hundred with a seventh successive victory.

The win sends the Rockets into their first-ever Hundred final after a rollercoaster season. They started slow, losing their first two games, but bounced back with a mix of power hitting, sharp bowling and athletic fielding. Sciver-Brunt’s cameo marked the shift from struggle to surge. The Hundred’s format—100 balls per innings with strategic timeouts—favours explosive finishes, and that’s exactly where Sciver-Brunt excels.

Trent Rockets face Northern Superchargers in the final at Lord’s on Sunday. The Superchargers topped the group stage with a dominant pace attack and the explosive batting of Jemimah Rodrigues. This will be a high-octane clash between two teams chasing their first title. Sciver-Brunt, England’s vice-captain across formats, has been a key figure all season. She’s taken wickets with the ball and provided late-innings stability with the bat. Her unbeaten cameo kept the Rockets alive when their chase looked lost.

The Hundred final is more than just a trophy. It’s a chance to grow women’s domestic cricket and showcase talent to a global audience. A strong showing at Lord’s could boost investment, sponsorship and fan interest. For Sciver-Brunt, it’s another step toward proving England have the depth to compete at the top. Whether the Rockets lift the silverware or not, their run to the final has already redefined their season—and raised the bar for next year.
