Match Analysis
A dominant bowling performance followed by a measured if not nervy run chase saw the Southern Brave to a six-wicket win over Trent Rockets in The Hundred women’s competition at Trent Bridge.
Electing to bowl first, Georgia Adams’ decision was justified almost immediately when 17-year-old Tilly Corteen-Coleman struck two huge blows in her opening set, removing Bryony Smith (10) caught off a leading-edge and Nat Sciver-Brunt (0) brilliantly stumped by Rhianna Southby.
Despite a 16-ball 25 from captain Ash Gardner, the Rockets top order faltered miserably. From 36-2 at the conclusion of the powerplay, it was complete Brave dominance as the Rockets collapsed to 55-8.
Left-arm spinner Corteen-Coleman bowled brilliantly, also dismissing Heather Graham (3) and Emma Jones (0) – the former another stumping by the impressive Southby – on the way to brilliant figures of 4-13.
Lauren Bell returned to strike twice in three balls, becoming the first woman to take 50 wickets in The Hundred in the process, finishing her 20 balls with 3-16.
Alana King (24 not out) and Kirstie Gordon (32) then staged a recovery to keep their side in the game. They shared a record tenth-wicket stand of 50 from 44 deliveries to help the Rockets to 106 and give them something to bowl at.
In the run chase, the Rockets struck early – Danni Wyatt-Hodge (4) run out by King after a miscommunication with Maia Bouchier. Laura Wolvaardt (1) then went caught by Sciver-Brunt off Gordon to see the score 10-2 with two in-form batters back in the shed.
Bouchier and Sophie Devine played cautiously against probing bowling from King and Gardner, steadily chipping away at the target as the Brave reached 52-2 at halfway with 55 runs still required.
Bouchier began to open her shoulders as the Brave approached their target, but she targeted King one time too many, running past a wide one to be stumped for 43.
Devine was joined by Freya Kemp (14) who, after cracking a huge six off Gordon, went caught on the boundary with eight still required from seven balls.
Devine stayed calm, striking a crucial boundary off Graham as the Brave got home with two balls to spare.
Meerkat Match Hero Tilly Corteen-Coleman said: “It’s been fantastic, such a great team performance. Good to get another win on the board.
“There’s a bit of a track record of Trent Bridge being a bit slow and having a bit of turn so I thought I might be in the game.
“I can’t complain, it’s been a great day. We’re a great group. We’ve been working really hard and obviously off the back of last year I feel like we’ve got a lot to prove and we’re on our way to doing that.”
