The 17th match of The Hundred Women’s Competition 2026 brings an exciting high-stakes encounter as Trent Rockets Women host Sunrisers Leeds Women at the historic Trent Bridge in Nottingham. Positioned strongly near the top of the standings, the host side enters this clash with high confidence following impressive all-round displays. Led by dynamic skipper Ashleigh Gardner, the Rockets rely heavily on top-order firepower featuring Beth Mooney and Sophia Dunkley, alongside elite all-round quality from Nat Sciver-Brunt to dictate terms early in the game.
However, Sunrisers Leeds Women pose a stern test with their incredibly deep lineup under the leadership of Danielle Gibson. Backed by potent match-winners including Phoebe Litchfield, Annabel Sutherland, Jess Jonassen, and Deepti Sharma, the visiting squad possesses the skill and tactical versatility to excel in both departments. Trent Bridge historically offers true bounce and high-scoring opportunities, giving stroke-makers freedom early on while allowing clever spinners and seamers to exploit pitch variations.

Trent Bridge Pitch Report
The surface at Trent Bridge historically offers a true, firm bounce with short boundaries and a lightning-fast outfield, making it one of the most batter-friendly venues in the competition. Expect the ball to come onto the bat nicely during the powerplay, allowing openers to play their shots freely.
While pace bowlers can extract early swing under overcast skies, seamers will rely heavily on pace-off variations and precise yorkers in the death overs. Spinners typically find limited turn here, making line and length critical to controlling the scoring rate. Given the high-scoring nature and easier chasing conditions, winning the toss will likely prompt captains to bowl first.
