Trent Rockets Women v Northern Superchargers Women - The Hundred

The 20th match of the Women’s Hundred 2023 Competition will see the Welsh Fire Women take on the Trent Rockets Women at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Monday, August 14.

The Welsh Fire Women’s opening game was abandoned due to rain. They won three games on the trot since then but suffered a loss in their last game against the Southern Brave Women. They will be eager to get back to winning ways in their upcoming clash on Monday.

On the back of contributions from Sophia Dunkley (50) and Sarah Bryce (44*), the Welsh Fire Women posted 144 on the board against the Southern Brave Women. The game went down the wire and the Fire Women failed to hold their nerves, losing the game on the final ball by two wickets.

The Trent Rockets Women, meanwhile, managed to grab their first win of the Women’s Hundred 2023 in their last game when they beat the London Spirit at Lord’s. They have three points under their belt and will be looking to carry forward the winning momentum.

Kirstie Gordon picked up two wickets as it helped the Rockets Women restrict the Spirit Women to 124/4. In reply, skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt displayed a batting masterclass as she scored 81* off just 41 balls to take her side across the line with 13 balls to spare to win the game by five wickets.
