Scorecard

Southern Brave thrashed Trent Rockets by seven wickets in the men’s Hundred eliminator to set up a final against Birmingham Phoenix at Lord’s on Saturday.

In a faultless bowling performance, the Brave’s fearsome attack bowled the Rockets out for 96 in just 91 balls.

George Garton removed the Rockets’ formidable top three while Tymal Mills also took three wickets and Chris Jordan and Craig Overton two apiece.

That total was never going to be enough and Brave romped to victory with 32 balls to spare even with the early loss of Quinton de Kock for six.

The Brave are now on a six-match winning streak and go into the final, which begins at 18:30 BST and is live on BBC Two, possibly as favourites.

They could complete the double with their women’s side facing Oval Invincibles in the final at 15:00.

Garton too good for Rockets’ Big…
