The Hundred men's competition final at Lord's saw Manchester Super Giants beat Trent Rockets 162‑5 to win the franchise’s first title.

Tim Seifert’s 72 off 38, featuring seven sixes and four fours, set the tone. Rockets struggled after early wickets from Amir and Sanderson, and Liam Dawson’s six over mid‑wicket sealed a five wickets win.

Rockets had topped the table and missed a chance to win both men’s and women’s titles. Earlier runs by Donald, Duckett and Santner lifted them to 158‑8, but Seifert’s knock proved decisive.

Seifert equalised the highest score in a Hundred final, finished second in runs with 394, and his partnership with Walter in the last five games was pivotal. The match ended with celebrations at Lord's.

Despite a late wobble, the Super Giants survived pressure, with Dawson holding nerve. The Rockets saw opportunities vanish, such as Finn Allen’s boundary chance denied by a foot‑touch rule.

The victory cements the Giants’ rise in the ante‑merger era.
