Trent Rockets vs Manchester Originals, 29th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Trent Rockets have done what they needed to do. We have another do-or-die encounter tomorrow with Southern Brave hosting Oval Invincibles. The winner will be through (to the final or the Eliminator), the loser will be out of the tournament, in the unlikely event of a washout, we'll have a three-way tie for the last two spots. More fun awaits as the Hundred reaches its climax. For now, cheers and bye..

Lewis Gregory | Winning captain - We came in knowing it was a must-win game, the boys were outstanding. They got off to a fier, we pulled them back in the second half and the chase was well done. He's a fantastic performer all over the world (on Rashid), for him to be playing the way he's doing with everything that's happening around him (in Afghanistan), it's simply special. We just need to go out and enjoy, you won't get to play too many games in front of a sell-out crowd. We're just enjoying the moment.

Dawid Malan | Hero of the Match: Good to get the win. Disappointed to not have finished off the game, but having Samit's experience there at the end was good. We were behind the eight ball but Rashid came on and bowled an unbelievable spell. Restricting them to that total on a used pitch made it easier for us to chase. It has been a strange season, I either hit them well or hit them badly. We have a great team spirit and the crowd are always behind us

22:22 Local Time, 21:22 GMT, 02:52 IST: A superb performance from the Rockets and they move into the 2nd position with 10 points, thereby knocking the Northern Superchargers out of the competition as well. 136 was always going to be a straightforward chase and Malan anchored the innings deep, raising a half-century. Hales, Mullaney and Samit - all played pleasing cameos around the left-hander to steer their team home and possibly into the Eliminator. The Originals fought hard with the ball, but they were severely shortchanged by that massive middle-order collapse earlier on. So, we have four teams out of the tournament. Tomorrow's game between Southern Brave and the Oval Invincibles should give us the top-3 qualifiers.
