  "account": "Nat Sciver-Brunt and Beth Mooney led Trent Rockets to a convincing nine-wicket victory over MI London in The Hundred women's competition at The Oval. Sciver-Brunt scored an unbeaten 67 off 36 balls, including nine fours and a six, while Mooney contributed 54 not out from 44 balls. Their partnership for the second wicket totaled 118 runs, setting a new tournament record for that position. Trent Rockets reached the target of 122 with 18 balls to spare, securing their spot in the knockout stage. This win puts Trent Rockets four points ahead of second-placed Southern Brave, who will face Manchester Super Giants later in the day. MI London's Samantha Bates took 3-13, her best figures of the tournament, but the Rockets' bowling proved too strong to challenge. The match also saw two exciting moments: Beth Mooney nearly hitting a hat-trick before it was overturned, and Kira Chathli and Alice Monaghan both finishing unbeaten to help MI recover.",
