The Hundred: Trent Rockets Into Final After Rain-marred Eliminator Produces No Result

Trent Rockets will face Oval Invincibles in the final of the Hundred after the Eliminator against Northern Superchargers was abandoned after one innings at the Kennington Oval in London on Saturday (August 30, 2025).

The toss was delayed considerably following a steady downpour in London. It did take place eventually but the rain returned post that. After the first innings, rain returned again. Five balls were bowled in the second innings and after that rain once again interrupted and no play was then possible.

The match was preceded by the Women's Hundred Eliminator, in which the Northern Superchargers booked their place in the final with a 42-run win over London Spirit.
