Winning Chances for TRW vs SBW Match 29
Trent Rockets Women go into this game as clear favourites. They are unbeaten in five straight matches, they sit top of the table, and they play this game on home soil at Trent Bridge. Southern Brave Women still have plenty of quality with bat and ball, but back-to-back losses have dented their momentum at the wrong time of the season.
Trent Rockets Women & Southern Brave Women Squads for The Hundred 2026
Ashleigh Gardner’s Trent Rockets Women have the deepest batting order in the competition. Beth Mooney and Sophia Dunkley set the tone up top, Nat Sciver-Brunt adds power in the middle, and Gardner herself offers both runs and wickets. Kim Garth and Samantha Bates lead a bowling attack that has clicked at the right time.
Sophie Molineux’s Southern Brave Women still have Laura Wolvaardt, Maia Bouchier, and Lizelle Lee to fire with the bat. Issy Wong, Lauren Bell, and Tilly Corteen-Coleman give them real pace and spin options, but the side has not fired as a unit in the last two games.

Beth Mooney (wk), Sophia Dunkley, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Sophie Luff, Ashleigh Gardner (c), Georgia Adams, Bess Heath, Georgia Elwiss, Charley Phillips, Kim Garth, Samantha Bates.
