Rockets face nervous wait after defeat by Brave
Trent Rockets face a nervous wait to see if they will qualify automatically for the final of The Hundred after a six-wicket defeat by Southern Brave.
Trent Rockets suffered a narrow six-wicket defeat against Southern Brave at Trent Bridge, leaving them uncertain about their automatic qualification for The Hundred final. Brave's Tristan Stubbs led the charge with an unbeaten half-century, while Marcus Stoinis and Finn Allen contributed significantly to the chase. The Rockets initially posted a competitive total, with Santner top-scoring 35 off 23 balls and sharing a crucial 66-run stand with Gregory.
However, Brave's relentless pursuit saw them cross the line just three balls short of the target. If Manchester Super Giants and Sunrisers Leeds end with the same points, their rankings will be decided by net run-rate, with the Sunrisers currently leading. The outcome of the women's match in the same day could determine the Super Giants' eligibility for the Elminator.
