Nat Sciver-Brunt's stylish 67 fires Trent Rockets into The Hundred knockout stage with an emphatic nine-wicket win over MI London, while Manchester Super Giants beat Southern Brave. Rockets thrash already-eliminated MI London. The Hundred women's competition, The Oval.

MI London 121-5 (100 balls) Chathli 31 (27); Bates 3-13. Trent Rockets 125-1 (82 balls) Sciver-Brunt 67* (36); Norris 1-26. Nat Sciver-Brunt made a stylish unbeaten 67 as Trent Rockets booked their spot in the knockout stage of The Hundred with an emphatic nine-wicket win over MI London. Sciver-Brunt hit nine fours and one six in her knock off 36 balls, which helped the Rockets chase down 122 for victory at The Oval. It was the England captain's first 50 in this year's tournament and her 11th in The Hundred overall.

Sciver-Brunt shared a tournament record second-wicket stand of 118 with Australian Beth Mooney, who finished on 54 not out off 44 balls, as the Rockets breezed past the target with 18 balls to spare. Victory for the Rockets puts them four points above second-placed Southern Brave. The Rockets face Brave in their final group match on Monday but have a significantly better net run-rate (+1.601) compared with their opponents (+0.148) so have one foot in the final.

Earlier, Samantha Bates had taken 3-13 to help restrict MI to a modest 121-5. Bates had the dangerous Hayley Matthews lbw for 10 early on then the left-arm spinner claimed two wickets in two balls to leave MI struggling at 49-4. Bates trapped top scorer Kira Chathli lbw for 31 before Nicola Carey was stumped next ball following a smart piece of glovework by Beth Mooney. The 30-year-old Aussie thought she had a hat-trick when Alice Monaghan was given out lbw, only for the decision to be overturned on review with the ball sliding down leg. Monaghan and Chinelle Henry led the fightback - both players finishing unbeaten on 27 off 21 balls - as they helped MI recover to post a respectable if not especially challenging total as Rockets cruised to victory with plenty to spare.

Highlights: Manchester Super Giants enjoy dominant win against Southern Brave. The Hundred women's competition, Utilita Bowl. Manchester Super Giants 139-4 (100 balls): Ghosh 54 (34); Wong 2-24. Southern Brave 112-6 (100 balls): Wolvaardt 36 (28); Villiers 3-17. Manchester Super Giants boosted their hopes of making it out of the group stage with a 27-run victory over Southern Brave.

However, Brave openers Lizelle Lee (19) and Maia Bouchier (16) were unable to convert promising starts as the Super Giants' attack wrested back the initiative. Laura Wolvaardt briefly threatened with 36 off 28 balls but when the South African was dismissed by Mady Villiers the home side's chase faltered and they ended up well short. Villiers was the pick of the bowlers with 3-17 from her set of 20 balls as Brave lost on their own turf for the first time in this year's tournament.

The third-placed Super Giants move on to 18 points and have a six-point cushion on on Sunrisers Leeds and Welsh Fire in fourth and fifth respectively. All the best shots as Ghosh hits 54 from 34 balls.
