Nat Sciver-Brunt's breezy 32 helped Trent Rockets to a three-wicket win over Southern Brave, sealing their place in The Hundred final.

Sciver-Brunt came to the crease with 52 required from 31 balls and quickly found her rhythm, reverse-sweeping her second ball for four before hitting three consecutive fours off Issy Wong. She was run out with the scores level, but Kim Garth edged the winning runs.

"We wanted to top the table and now we are looking forward to the final at Lord's," Sciver-Brunt said, citing body management after a calf issue. The Rockets finished with 28 points from eight games, unbeatable at the top.

Earlier, Maia Bouchier top-scored with 38 and Lizelle Lee hit 31 as Southern Brave posted 117-5. Georgia Adams took 2-14 for the Rockets. Brave now await the Eliminator against Manchester Super Giants or Sunrisers Leeds.
