Super Giants survive late wobble to win men's Hundred

Trent Rockets fail in their bid to become the first team to win both Hundred trophies in the same year, as they are beaten by Manchester Super Giants in the men's final.

Super Giants survive late wobble to win men's Hundred

In a thrilling final at Lord's, the Manchester Super Giants secured their first ever Hundred title by defeating the Trent Rockets by five wickets. The Super Giants, previously known as the Originals, overcame a late scare to claim their victory. Tim Seifert led the charge for the Super Giants, scoring a magnificent 72 off 38 balls, including seven sixes and four fours.

Despite Trent Rockets' solid platform set by New Zealand's Michael Bracewell, the Super Giants' bowlers held their nerve, dismissing key players like Klaasen and Bracewell. Seifert's partnership with Paul Walter laid the foundation for the Super Giants' chase. With two balls to spare, Liam Dawson hit a towering six over mid-wicket, sealing the win for the Super Giants.
