Birmingham Phoenix were bowled out for just 64 by Trent Rockets at Edgbaston, continuing the trend of low scores in The Hundred. Ellyse Perry scored 39, the only batter to reach double figures, in a dismal performance that saw Phoenix equal the second-lowest total in the competition's history.

Debutante Samantha Bates was the standout bowler for the Rockets, taking 3-10, supported by Georgia Elwiss (3-13), Kim Garth (2-5), and Katie Levick (1-8). The bowler-friendly surface made scoring difficult for both sides.

Sophia Dunkley then dominated the chase with an unbeaten 43 off just 17 balls, guiding Trent Rockets to a nine-wicket victory in only 31 balls. The match was a one-sided affair, with batters struggling across all matches played so far in the tournament.
