Trent Rockets could become the first team to win both men's and women's trophies in the same edition [Getty Images] The Hundred women's competition: Final, Lord's Sunrisers Leeds 91 (91 balls): Sutherland 25 (23); Adams 2-9 Trent Rockets 92-2 (54 balls): Dunkley 41 (23), Mooney 31* (21) Trent Rockets won by eight wickets Scorecard Sunrisers Leeds were bowled out for just 91 as Trent Rockets cruised to an emphatic eight-wicket win in the women's Hundred final at Lord's. In a disappointingly one-sided contest, Rockets reached their modest target with 46 balls to spare to secure their first women's title. England's Sophia Dunkley smashed 41 off 23 balls as she continued her excellent form and Australian Beth Mooney struck 31 not out off 21. Sunrisers, who comfortably beat Southern Brave in Friday's Eliminator, slumped to 26-3 at the end of the powerplay and failed to recover. They unsurprisingly struggled without significant contributions from their Australian superstars - Phoebe Litchfield was caught attempting a ramp off Charley Phillips for 10 and Annabel Sutherland was stumped off Georgia Adams for 25. Dani Gibson, Sunrisers' captain and most expensive player at the women's auction earlier this year, offered some resistance until her departure for 22 off 16 ended any hope of a fightback. The wickets were shared in a fine all-round bowling effort by the Rockets as Adams finished with miserly figures of 2-9 and Phillips, the 23-year-old domestic seamer, impressed with 2-12. Rockets will look to become the first team to win both men's and women's competitions in the same year when Sam Billings' side take on Manchester Super Giants at 18:00 BST. More to follow.
