Trent Bridge: Trent Rockets 128-8, Northern Superchargers 129-2 - Northern Superchargers won by eight wickets

Davina Perrin continued her impressive domestic form with a sparkling 42-ball 70 to overpower Trent Rockets in The Hundred.

It was the eighteen-year-old's first half-century in The Hundred, and the second-highest score by an English uncapped player. More importantly for Perrin and her side, it took them to the top of the table with two wins from two.

It was a dominant performance from the team in purple, who were on top straight away and rarely let their foot off the gas, save some customary excellence from Trent Rockets skipper Ash Gardner.

The Superchargers had Rockets at 5 for 3 after 18 balls, and right up against it, Gardner did her thing to fight back with a 32-ball 61, but it was essentially a lone hand and her side's eventual total of 128 felt light at a sun-dappled Trent Bridge.

Perrin dominated the opening partnership of 62 with Alice Davidson-Richards and entertained the crowd throughout, with strong shots all around the wicket and even a one-handed scoop.

Phoebe Litchfield matched her stroke for stroke with her 10-ball 22, and Annabel Sutherland finished things off in a fittingly creative way, reverse-sweeping through the off-side.

It was a performance of great promise from the Superchargers, who will feel they're laying down a marker, for Rockets the need to get a win on the board is getting ever greater.
