Sam Cook stars as Trent Rockets hoist The Hundred title

Driven by Sam Cook's 4 for 18, Manchester Originals' six-match series of wins was finished off in the last of The Hundred, at Lord's on Saturday, as Trent Rockets got an exhilarating two-wicket win in a low-scoring issue to secure the title. For a sluggish challenge that it was, the finale got an emotional completion. Richard Gleeson, once more in the center endeavoring to assist his group with winning in the last couple of balls, wound up completing on the terrible side. Having bowled a tight set to start Originals' guard, he was left safeguarding 11 in the last five balls. A swipe for a six followed by a full throw helped through the fine leg locale for a four by Lewis Gregory, everything except finished those expectations, before one more full throw was hit to covers and the players rushed for a solitary. Choosing for bowl first, Rockets forced themselves well right off the bat after Laurie Evans and Philip Salt had trucked three limits in a space of five balls to get the innings rolling. By the 23rd conveyance, three of their players were excused; Cook catching Evans legbefore and tidying up Madsen before Salt flicked Daniel Sams to the mid-on defender. The hard-hitting pair of Tristan Stubbs and Ashton Turner attempted to infuse some speed into Originals' innings through the center overs, yet a twofold strike by Samit Patel - excusing Stubbs and Paul Walter in progressive conveyances - imprinted the side to 57 for 5 of every 47 balls. Luke Wood, Matthew Carter and Sam Cook bowled firmly - all surrendering not as much as run-a-ball - in the demise and didn't permit Originals' lower request to break free, at last restricting them to 120 for 9. In any case, an entry to the objective wasn't exactly smooth and simple for Rockets. Rockets' battle in the pursuit nearly reflected that of Originals, best case scenario, with several additional sixes. There were times of play where limits were rare, the strike wasn't getting pivoted and the wickets that continued to fall at ordinary stretches. Assuming Originals hit 11 limits, Rockets countered with 10. In the event that Originals oversaw just a singular six, Rockets had three in returns. Alex Hales and Dawid Malan made a made estimated start against Gleeson, who bowled 10 balls forthright. Be that as it may, they set free against Joshua Little, hitting two limits off the initial three balls bowled by the pacer before Hales was excused hitting directly to the defender at cover. That excusal didn't actually pull them back however as Tom Kohler-Cadmore came to the wrinkle and forced himself against Gleeson soon enough with two limits. In any case, with a pause and begin direction the innings took, similar as that of Originals, they continued to lose wickets at normal stretches. Josh Little, Paul Walter, Tom Hartley and Matt Parkinson all contributed with a support, yet eventually, it didn't demonstrate enough. Brief Scores: Manchester Originals 120/9 in 100 balls (Ashton Turner 26, Tom Lammonby 21; Sam Cook 4-18, Samit Patel 3-23) lost to Trent Rockets 121/8 in 98 balls (Dawid Malan 19, Tom Kohler-Cadmore 18; Josh Little 2-18, Paul Walter 2-21) by 2 wickets
