Trent Rockets booked a place in the knockouts of The Hundred women's competition with a thumping nine-wicket win over already-eliminated MI London. Nat Sciver-Brunt (67no off 36 balls) and Beth Mooney (54no off 44) struck sublime half-centuries as Rockets eased to their 122-run target with 18 balls to spare to claim a fifth-straight win.

Earlier, Australian left-arm spinner Sam Bates claimed 3-13 to move joint-top of the wicket-taking charts as MI London struggled to 121-5. MI London had made a steady enough start after being asked to bat, reaching 28-0, but the innings fell away after Bates took the key wicket of Hayley Matthews (10), trapped lbw.

The Rockets then strolled to their target, despite Sophia Dunkley being dismissed for a three-ball duck. Sciver-Brunt and Mooney's subsequent 118-run stand is the second-highest partnership in the history of the women's competition. Monaghan (27no off 21) and Melie Kerr (17 off 14) rebuilt for MI London, before Chinelle Henry (27no off 21) struck a flurry of boundaries late on, but their total looked well below-par on a good deck against a rampant Rockets outfit.
