Duckett and Amir guide Trent Rockets to five-run win over Sunrisers
Trent Rockets won their fourth match in the men's Hundred by five runs against Sunrisers Leeds at Trent Bridge.
Ben Duckett scored 85 off 59 balls as Trent Rockets beat Sunrisers Leeds by five runs at Trent Bridge on Sunday. The win was their fourth in the men's Hundred and kept them top of the table.
Joe Root's side reached 165 for 7 in their 100 balls. Sunrisers Leeds chased hard — Annabel Sutherland went unbeaten on 59, and Harry Brook and Mitchell Marsh made useful contributions — but fell five runs short at 160 for 8.
Mohammad Amir took key wickets that proved the difference after Sunrisers had threatened the target. Rockets stay top, and Duckett's opening partnerships continue to give them an early cushion most teams in the Hundred haven't yet built.
CricHubb Take
Four wins already and still a week to go: Rockets are forcing other franchises to chase them down instead of chase points. That changes how you play.
