The Hundred 2023: Northern Superchargers Register A Thrilling Win

Having secured 134 runs in the first inning, the Superchargers called upon the Trent Rockets to chase the score in 100 deliveries. Superchargers had won the toss and elected to bat first.

Marie Kelly opened with Jemimah Rodrigues, but Kelly was lost too early. Fran Wilson caught Kelly on her 5^th delivery itself.

Collaborative bowling efforts from the Rockets. Alexa Stonehouse, Kirstie Gordon, Alana King and Naomi Dattani all picked a wicket each. The good economy maintained by Stonehouse.

A decent target for Superchargers to chase given the 100 deliveries in hand. With Lizelle Lee and Bryony Smith opening, the game was off to a good start.

At the end of 100 deliveries in The Hundred 2023, Trent Rockets were able to secure 125 runs at a loss of 7 wickets. They lost the game by a fine margin of just 9 runs.
