Trent Rockets and Manchester Super Giants meet at Lord’s in the final of The Hundred Men’s Competition 2026, with the trophy on the line.
Trent Rockets are expected to be led by Sam Billings, who also keeps wicket. Finn Allen, Ben Duckett and Aneurin Donald make up an attacking top order, with Tim David and Mitchell Santner adding finishing power and all-round skill. Lewis Gregory, Craig Overton, Calvin Harrison, Matt Henry and Ben Sanderson share the bowling duties.
Manchester Super Giants, with Jos Buttler as captain and wicketkeeper, have a line-up headed by Tim Seifert, Paul Walter and Heinrich Klaasen, with Leus du Plooy and Michael Bracewell in the middle order. Liam Dawson, Noor Ahmad, Gus Atkinson, Josh Tongue and Sonny Baker form their attack.
Seamers could get some help with the new ball, and wicket-taking and boundary control in the death overs will be crucial. A little dew may make batting easier in the second innings. Our preview expects the first innings to reach 155–165 and favours Trent Rockets.
