Trent Rockets vs Northern Superchargers, 8th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Another game of the Hundred is done and dusted. These games are played at a fast pace and sometimes as a batter or a bowler you are just not up for it. It humbles you regularly for sure. The Rockets are off the lanes quite fast and would want to carry on the momentum. You need these wins in tournaments like these. The Superchargers will look to bounce back. We will bounce off for now. Bye bye. See ya soon with more cricketing action.

Akeal Hosein | Match Hero - Grateful for the start, thankful for being able to put my team in a winning position early on. I think both sides played differently - it was a bit sticky at one end, it was skidding for me from the other end, we just went with the way we knew. We've a talented and happy bunch, whenever the ball is thrown to us, you go and try to deliver, we've a good bowling line-up and can make-up for a bad day for any bowler. I was confident that the guys would chase the score down, I hadn't had my pads on as well.

20:45 Local Time, 19:45 GMT, 01:15 IST: 7 wins out of the 8 games have happened for the side chasing. Can certainly see a pattern there. It wasn't easy for the batters. Brook played well for the Superchargers and so did Clark. But 124 was never enough. Root and Banton started well for the home side and built a strong platform at the top. Wasim had them both as spinners tried to build some pressure. The troika of Wasim, Rashid and Lawrence did well but there were never enough runs to play with. Rehan took his time and played a decent and Aslop hit some crucial fours to ensure the Rockets won with 4 balls to spare. Two wins out of two games for the Rockets and they will be elated with the start. This is a closely contested tournament and every win counts. The Superchargers would look to improve their batting for sure. The bowling looked much better though.

Adil Rashid to Rehan Ahmed, out Bowled!! The front of the hand delivery and Rehan Ahmed never had a clue about it. The previous two ones were slower and loopy and turned away. This one decked in a little as it was off the front of the hand. Rehan Ahmed wanted to cut but picked the wrong ball to do so and has to go. Decent knock but would have been happier had he finished it off. Rehan Ahmed b Adil Rashid 31(26) [4s-2 6s-1]
