Match preview
Trent Rockets Women host Southern Brave Women at Trent Bridge on Monday 10 August in the 29th match of The Hundred Women’s Competition 2026. It is an afternoon start at 3:00 pm local time.
The Rockets’ likely batting group is strong, with Sophia Dunkley, wicketkeeper Beth Mooney, Nat Sciver-Brunt and captain Ashleigh Gardner supported by Sophie Luff, Bess Heath, Georgia Adams and Georgia Elwiss. Kim Garth, Charley Phillips and Samantha Bates complete the expected XI.
Southern Brave’s probable side is led by Sophie Molineux and features Maia Bouchier, Lizelle Lee and Laura Wolvaardt at the top. Sarah Glenn, Issy Wong, Lauren Bell and Tilly Corteen-Coleman form a varied bowling line-up.
Trent Bridge normally rewards committed batting, and we expect the first-innings score to land near 130. The Rockets’ depth and home surroundings are why we favour them.
Trent Bridge is traditionally one of the better batting venues in England while still keeping bowlers interested. Seamers can find swing and movement early, especially under cloud, then the surface settles for stroke-making. The quick outfield and relatively short boundaries reward aggressive batting late in the innings, and spinners can use occasional grip in the middle overs.
