Manchester Originals Women Secure Third Consecutive 10-Wicket Win Over Trent Rockets

Manchester Originals women secured a commanding 10-wicket victory over Trent Rockets at Trent Bridge in The Women’s Hundred 2025, successfully chasing 111 runs without losing a wicket. Key performances included England’s Sophie Ecclestone and Lauren Filer, who dismantled the Rockets’ batting line-up, restricting them to 111 for 7, with Ecclestone taking 2 wickets for 12 runs and Filer claiming 3 for 23. Nat Sciver-Brunt was the lone significant contributor for the Rockets with 34 runs, but her efforts were undermined by the relentless Originals bowling attack. In response, Beth Mooney and Kathryn Bryce produced a flawless opening partnership of 113 runs, with Mooney scoring 47* and Bryce 61*, guiding the chase with 18 balls to spare and marking only the third 10-wicket win in the competition's history. Bryce also contributed with the ball, taking two wickets, and the Originals’ victory boosts their position to third place in the group, while the Rockets remain sixth with four losses from five games. The Originals' clinical performance, spearheaded by their bowlers and a record-breaking opening stand, highlights their strong contention for progressing to the playoffs.
