Trent Rockets Advance to Men's Hundred Final After Rain-Affected Eliminator
Trent Rockets have booked their place in the Men's Hundred final after their Eliminator clash with Northern Superchargers was abandoned due to relentless rain. The match, scheduled for August 30, 2025, at The Oval, was repeatedly disrupted by showers, leading to significant delays and interruptions.
Despite two attempts by Trent Rockets to chase revised targets, the inclement weather had the final say. The decision to abandon the game was made late in the evening, with the Rockets progressing to the final due to their superior group-stage performance. This outcome was particularly disheartening for Northern Superchargers, who had finished level on points with the Rockets but faltered in their final group-stage fixture.
The absence of a reserve day for the Eliminator meant Trent Rockets' group-stage advantage proved decisive. The match was officially called off after nearly four hours of delays, with only 80 legal balls bowled. The final will now see Trent Rockets take on Oval Invincibles in a highly anticipated showdown.
