The 25th match of theย Hundred 2022 took place between Trent Rockets and Southern Brave. The match was played at the Rose Bowl in Southampton, where Southern Brave won the toss and elected to bowl first. The Trent Rockets took the first strike. Alex Hales and Dawid Malan walked out to open the batting. Hales’s stay was short-lived as he perished to Paul Sterling in just his 7th ball.
The other contributor was Samit Patel who scored 21 in 15 deliveries, it was a quick cameo that contained 2 sixes. Colin Munro walked out to bat at number six he scored a 16-ball 10 which contained a boundary and a maximum. The others did not have a good outing with the bat.
The Trent Rockets did manage to score 138 in their allotted hundred balls for the loss of 6 wickets. This was due to a fine inning by Dawid Malan, The left-hander was in free-flowing form and played a good knock of 59 which came in just 41 balls.

Paul Sterling was very good in his 15-ball spell as well, giving away just 10 runs and picking the big wicket of Alex Hales.

Any notion that those who attend The Hundred wonโt get behind/support a team is a load of rubbish. After experiencing it for the first time this season, that was spine tingling towards the end as Brave closed in #TheHundred
Alex Davies's unbeaten 51 backed up by a disciplined bowling performance helped #SouthernBrave keep their tournament hopes alive.https://t.co/mlv3TMtfrK
