Ben Duckett's impressive half-century and Mohammad Amir's crucial late wickets propelled Trent Rockets to a narrow five-run victory over SunRisers Leeds, solidifying their position at the top of The Hundred table. The match began with Aneurin Donald's explosive 19-ball knock of 40, setting the tone for the Rockets.
Duckett took over, scoring 64 from 47 balls and becoming the leading run-scorer in The Hundred men's competition. He shared a 50-run partnership with Tim David, who finished strongly, helping the Rockets reach 146-4. SunRisers' chase was led by Mitchell Marsh, who was in dominant form, but the team ultimately fell short. Meanwhile, MI London secured a 45-run win over Manchester Super Giants, thanks to Will Jacks' aggressive batting and Rashid Khan's maiden five-wicket haul in The Hundred.
