Trent Rockets chased down a small target with ease to claim their first Women's Hundred trophy.
Sunrisers Leeds were bowled out for 91 runs in their full 100-ball allowance during the Women's Hundred final at Lord's. They stumbled early, reaching only 26-3 after the initial powerplay phase of 25 balls.
Annabel Sutherland top-scored for Sunrisers with 25 runs, while captain Dani Gibson made 22. The team struggled without major contributions from their star overseas batters, according to the BBC.
The Trent Rockets bowling attack stifled the innings, with Georgia Adams taking two wickets while conceding only nine runs. Charley Phillips, a 23-year-old English seam bowler, also claimed two wickets for twelve runs.
Trent Rockets needed only 54 balls to reach the target of 92, winning by eight wickets with 46 deliveries to spare. The BBC described the contest as disappointingly one-sided.
England's Sophia Dunkley led the chase with a rapid 41 runs from 23 balls. Australian batter Beth Mooney provided steady support, finishing the match unbeaten on 31 from 21 deliveries.
The victory secured the Rockets' first women's title. They had qualified directly for the final by finishing top of the group stage, while Sunrisers had played and won an Eliminator match just two days earlier.
The Rockets' triumph was built on a collective bowling performance. Sam Bates, an uncapped Australian spinner, finished the tournament as a joint-leading wicket-taker with 13 dismissals.
Charley Phillips was noted as an exception in a tournament where the BBC reported fewer emerging English players were given significant roles this year after the introduction of a fourth overseas player slot per team. Sunrisers' batters were said to have struggled against her bowling style.
