Trent Rockets vs MI London Live স্কোর, Match 25 of The Hundred, 2026

Over and out from The Oval - Trent Rockets have looked like a team to beat all season, and they have handed MI London the double over in some style. If Ashleigh Gardner and her troops breezed past their opponents earlier in the day, Sam Billings and his army got the job done with just as much flair in the end. Both the men and women now stand crowned at the top of their respective tables, and have given themselves a real shot for a direct qualification for the final. For MI London though, especially the men, this leaves them in a distinctly tricky spot. They are caught in a three-way tangle at 16 points, and if Manchester Super Giants beat Southern Brave in this next game which is about to get underway soon, that logjam swells to four teams all level on points. Which means the next few matches are going to decide the fate of these teams. Interesting times ahead as the season heads to the climax. Now then, action shifts to Southampton where Southern Brave host Manchester Super Giants, and the first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 5 pm GMT. Our buildup has already begun for that game, with the Super Giants having won the toss and opting to BAT first. So do hop on that matchcenter to catch all the updates from that match. From here, we sign off. Cheers!

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - The award goes to Trent Rockets' MITCHELL SANTNER, for his quickfire unbeaten 52 (23) studded with 5 fours and 3 sixes. Not to forget, there was a frugal spell of 0/19 in 20 balls in the first innings as well. On Trent Rocket's first win at The Oval, Santner says that The Oval never disappoints and it is a great place to play, calling this a wonderful win. On the specific change in strategy after the strategic timeout, Mitchell says that the overall strategy between him and Tim David was to utilize the dimensions of the ground, adding that the left-right combination served them well. Explains that with one side of the ground short, it made no sense to go big from both ends and rather wait to utilize the shorter side. On qualifying for the playoffs, MS says that the nothing can be taken for granted in this format and is happy to qualify for the playoffs. Hopes to qualify for the final next, on Monday.

... The Presentation ...

Curran to the rescue - It was a good recovery for MI London after they lost quick wickets through the middle overs. Jacks had given them a flyer of a start, though that early sparkle faded fast at the top. Sam Curran emerged as the man of the moment, playing a fighting knock of 72, his highest score in The Hundred, though he found himself starved of strike in the closing stages. Trent Rockets, meanwhile, were disciplined with the ball and outstanding in the field, proving once again that catches win matches, with a couple of stunners keeping MI London's big hitters firmly on a leash.

Santner and David cash in, gleefully - Where Trent Rockets were pristine in the field, MI London were anything but. Of course, they had a couple of moments of brilliance in the field, but it just unraveled later on and spread like an epidemic. Tim David got not one but two lives, put down on 17 by Raza and again on 24 by Rutherford, while Santner too was shown mercy, dropped on 26 by Sam Curran. The Rockets, by contrast, held everything that came their way and didn't put a single chance down all innings. With the game still delicately balanced, with the Rockets needing 77 off 50 balls at that stage, those three missed chances proved the difference in the end. Santner and David simply accepted those gifts on offer, cashing in on each reprieve in a canter. Interestingly, though, it was David who played the more measured hand of the two. He did put away the bad balls when they came, sure, but it was Santner who took on the role of aggressor here, ending up with his first Hundred half century. It was a reversal of the usual script, where David tends to do the heavy lifting himself. In the end, their blazing, unbeaten 78-run stand saw the Rockets home comfortably.

Blitz and blunder - Rockets didn't get the launch they would have wanted, losing Finn Allen early in the piece. Aneurin Donald walked in at number three and responded with a hammering counterattack, dragging the innings back onto course, before a needless run out undid all that good work. Rockets slid from 41/1 to 70/4 in the space of a few balls in that middle phase. Duckett's fighting knock was also cut short by Gleeson, who had earlier accounted for captain Billings too, plucking off a stunning one-handed caught and bowled. That cluster of wickets did put the Rockets on the back foot with still a sizeable score to track down.

Firm favourites - Indeed they are. Trent Rockets continue their juggernaut run, extending their winning streak to six wins on the bounce after commencing their campaign with a stinging defeat. The hosts did put them to the test, no doubt, but the Rockets patched things up beautifully and finished the job in some style. Not for the first time have Sam Billings and company bossed up at the Oval. He used to do exactly this for the Oval Invincibles (previous franchise of MI London) once upon a time, and now, in the shades of Yellow, he has done it right back to them. This also marks Trent Rockets' first-ever win at the Kennington Oval in the history of The Hundred, snapping a four-match losing streak at this venue at long last. And honestly, the way they are playing right now, steamrolling everyone in their path, they look every bit untouchable.

There is the winning hit and TRENT ROCKETS QUALIFY FOR THE PLAYOFFS! A nervy win but a win nevertheless. Fittingly, it is the X-factor, Santner who finishes things off. Sam Curran won't get off the short ball ploy and Santner continues to feast, pulling it down to fine leg for a single and ending the proceedings. TRENT ROCKETS WIN WITH 6 WICKETS AND 10 BALLS TO SPARE!

On middle and off, pushed straight to cover.

FOUR! 50 FOR SANTNER, IN 21 BALLS! A surprise factor in this match. Another short ball, outside off, Mitchell Santner once again backs away to the leg side and upper cuts it over backward point to make it 14 runs in 3 balls of this set! Scores are tied now.

SIX! SMASH! Another short ball, around middle and leg, Santner gives himself room to the leg side and swings it cleanly over wide long on! 5 more needed for the win now!

FOUR! Nicely done. What a cameo this has been from Mitchell Santner. A short ball, around middle, Mitchell Santner gets outside the line and pulls it behind square leg, beating deep square leg to his left. Moves to 41 (19).

Sam Curran comes back for his last set. 0/23 in 15 balls so far.

Off the inside edge. Very full outside off, David goes hard on the drive but gets it off the inner half of the bat past the stumps towards fine leg. A single taken. 0/21 in 20 balls for Trent Boult.

WIDE. Boult nearly executes the wide yorker perfectly but misses by a fraction, as the ball lands outside the wide guideline. Left alone by Tim David.

Excellent slower delivery, on a length, outside off, TD leaps and looks to cut but misses again.

Very full, outside off, Tim cannot put bat on ball.

David walks across his stumps and Boult bowls it outside leg. David misses his flick and the ball is not far from the leg stump.

SIX! STUPENDOUS! That's a rubber stamp by David on Rockets' qualification for the playoffs. Full and around off, in the slot, Tim David gets under the ball and swings it flat over wide long on for a biggie. 17 more needed from 19 balls now.

Got to feel, that MI have hit themselves on their own foot through that set. 23 runs needed in 20 balls now. Trent Boult returns for a last dig. 0/13 in 15 balls.

SIX! INSULT TO INJURY! Gleeson bangs it short and outside off and Mitchell Santner reacts swiftly. Rocks back and pulls it miles over deep mid-wicket! 50-RUN STAND IS UP, IN 31 BALLS! 13 from the set and Richard Gleeson finishes with bowling figures of 2/27 in 20 balls! They check for the no ball for the second bouncer of the over but it is deemed fine through the replays.

DROPPED! Oh dear, it is spreading like an epidemic now. Slower ball, full and wide outside off, David is suckered into the drive and is early into the shot. Gets a thick outside edge which balloons towards point. Should have been a simple catch for Sherfane Rutherford over there but he makes a mess of it, leaping very early and then parrying it over his head. A single taken.

FOUR! That will help the Rockets. Gleeson bowls a faster one, but misdirects it. A length ball, down the leg side, Tim David just tickles it to the fine leg fence.

Full and straight, Mitchell swings but can only get it off the inner half of the bat to deep mid-wicket. A single taken.

WIDE. Another slower ball, but goes wide outside off, on a length. Santner slashes hard but misses.

Excellent slower ball, outside off. A dipping full toss, Mitchell Santner gets down to paddle but misses.

A very expensive set from Tom Curran. The equation now reads 36 runs, 25 balls. Remember, MI made 39/3 in their last 5 sets. Richard Gleeson to bowl out. 2/14 in 15 balls so far.

FOUR! Put away! 14 runs off the set. Tom goes searching for a yorker, but ends up offering a wide full toss, Santner just opens the bat face at the point of contact and finds the gap at deep backward point for a boundary.

Change of pace, on a length, outside off, angling away, Mitchell gets across to cut but misses.

DROPPED! SAM CURRAN PUTS DOWN A CRUCIAL CHANCE! And now, both these batters have been given precious lives. On a length, outside off, Santner gets on top of it, spanking it flatly toward the right of Curran stationed at extra cover. Curran flings himself full length, gets both hands to it, but the ball just doesn't stick, squirming free at the last moment as his elbows crash on the ground.
