Ash Gardner, Marcus Stoinis star on mixed day for Australians in the Hundred
Australia's men and women have lit up the Hundred in England, but not all have managed to end up on winning sides. Star all-rounder Ash Gardner remains winless in her leadership of the Trent Rockets despite delivering her best knock yet, having to bow instead to the Australian-powered Northern Superchargers at Trent Bridge. Marcus Stoinis made swift amends after a tough opening match, keeping his cool to deliver with bat and ball and give the Rockets' men's side lift-off to their campaign. Stoinis sent down just one five-ball "over" in the clash with Northern Superchargers at Trent Bridge on Sunday, but it was enough time for him to earn two wickets in successive balls, including the prize scalp of an on-song Harry Brook. His 2–0 contribution proved crucial in keeping the Superchargers down to a sub-par total of 9–124 and was a far cry from Friday's opener when he had been hammered for a wicketless 34 runs off 20 balls as the Rockets misfired against the Birmingham Phoenix at Edgbaston. With a few nerves jangling and nine runs still needed off the final 10 balls to get to the winning line, Stoinis (8 not out) and English batter Adam Hose (5 not out) then knocked off the runs between them to seal the Rockets' five-wicket win with four balls remaining. Gardner, meanwhile, kept her Rockets' hopes alive with her thrilling knock of 61 off 32 balls. Studded with 10 fours, it represented nearly half their total of 8–128, but still proved nowhere near enough as the Superchargers, thriving off the back of excellent performances from Aussie internationals Georgia Wareham, Phoebe Litchfield and Annabel Sutherland, knocked off the runs for the loss of just two wickets. The supremely talented Litchfield, with an inventive switch-hitting cameo of 22 off just 10 balls, and Sutherland, clattering an unbeaten 18 off 11, took the visitors swiftly past the target with 21 balls remaining. They provided the main support acts to 18-year-old English find Davina Perrin, whose brilliant unbeaten 72 deservedly won her the player of the match honours and marked her as an opener Australia may have reason to be fearful of over the next few years. Gardner had been hitting the ball beautifully while wickets tumbled around her, hitting her first half-century since captaining the Gujarat Giants in the Women's Premier League in February. In the day's earlier match at Southampton, Ellyse Perry's Birmingham Phoenix were beaten by 15 runs by Southern Brave. The great Australian all-rounder looked well set to guide the visitors to a second straight win in the competition as they chased a total of 7–139 but on 26 off 21 balls, Perry toe-ended a swipe off Sophie Devine and was bagged at deep mid wicket. From there, the Phoenix challenge, which had kicked off with Aussie opener Georgia Voll getting bowled for 10, eventually faded as they were bowled out for 124, with only Dutch batter Sterre Kalis showing much resistance with her 44 off 34 balls.

Rockets booster: Stoinis keeps his cool in Hundred win
Marcus Stoinis has made swift amends after a tough opening match, keeping his cool to deliver with bat and ball and give the Trent Rockets lift-off to their Hundred campaign. The Australian powerhouse allrounder sent down just one five-ball 'over' in the clash with Northern Superchargers at Trent Bridge on Sunday, but it was enough time for him to earn two wickets in successive balls, including the prize scalp of an on-song Harry Brook. His 2-0 contribution proved crucial in keeping the Superchargers down to a sub-par total of 9-124 and was a far cry from Friday's opener when he had been hammered for a wicketless 34 runs off 20 balls as the Rockets misfired against the Birmingham Phoenix at Edgbaston. Trent Rockets secure the win! ✅Marcus Stoinis stars with the ball and finishes it off with the bat 🔥#TheHundred — The Hundred (@thehundred) August 10, 2025 With a few nerves jangling and nine runs still needed off the final 10 balls to get to the winning line, Stoinis (8no) and English batter Adam Hose (5no) then knocked off the runs between them to seal the Rockets' five-wicket win with four balls remaining. Stoinis himself finished the job consummately, piercing the field with the winning cut to the boundary, earning himself some congratulations from the Rockets' star man Joe Root, who had kicked off the chase with 20 off 17 balls. Root's England teammates Tom Banton (37 off 25) and Rehan Ahmed (31 off 26) were also key contributors in the pursuit. The match's key moment had come earlier when Brook, who was again in magisterial form as he moved ominously to 45 off 29 deliveries, including two sixes and five fours, tried to muscle a slower one from Stoinis over deep square leg only to pick out Rehan on the boundary. The next ball, the 35-year-old Stoinis also got Imad Wasim caught in the deep trying the same trick. A superb 5️⃣ balls from Marcus Stoinis! 👏#TheHundred — The Hundred (@thehundred) August 10, 2025 Earlier on Sunday at Southampton, Jofra Archer again showed he's getting back to his best, taking 2-16 to lead Southern Brave to set up a comfortable nine-wicket victory over Birmingham Phoenix. With New Zealand spinner Michael Bracewell taking 3-10, Archer's effort helped the Brave limit the visitors to 7-106, Joe Clarke top-scoring with 36. James Vince then hit 41 from 30 balls in a 75-run opening stand with Leus du Plooy (48no) to help ease them to a second win of the opening week.

Stoinis, Root fail to fire but Rockets still blast off
Apart from clouting one monster six, Marcus Stoinis has made a disappointing individual return to England's Hundred tournament - yet he could still afford a smile after his Trent Rockets side blasted off with a win at Edgbaston. Three years since his last, fairly underwhelming spell with Southern Brave, the powerful Australian allrounder was out to shine as a big-name capture for the Nottingham-based Rockets. But the 35-year-old proved their most expensive bowler against Birmingham Phoenix on Friday night, recording figures of 0-34 off his 20 deliveries, before then being dismissed for just seven. The perfect start to 2025 for Trent Rockets 💛💫#TheHundred — The Hundred (@thehundred) August 8, 2025 Yet even though both the Perth star and Joe Root, the world's No.1 Test batter, could only muster 13 runs between them, the Rockets still made light work of chasing down Birmingham's mediocre 6-122 to win by six wickets, with 22 of their 100-ball allocation still remaining. Instead, the batting donkey work was done by England's often underrated international Tom Banton, who provided a reminder of his excellence with a destructive knock of 43 off 29 balls that featured three fours and three sixes. It was the highest score on a night when Banton outshone more vaunted English colleagues. Birmingham had had to rely on an innings-high 39 from captain Liam Livingstone after Ben Duckett (0) and Jacob Bethell (6), fresh from their Test commitments against India, fell cheaply. The Rockets' New Zealand quick Lockie Ferguson was key in the Phoenix struggles, taking 3-20, making life easier for the likes of Root, billed as the match's star attraction following his own Test heroics. If you watch one thing todayMake it this Sam Cook run out ☝️#TheHundred — The Hundred (@thehundred) August 8, 2025 But there was some irony in the Yorkshire great being bowled for just six by England's bowling consultant, New Zealand veteran Tim Southee. Still, Rehan Ahmed (25) and Banton then motored along in a rapid 51-run partnership, before Stoinis later joined the party, crashing Southee over deep midwicket for a 78-metre six, before the 36-year-old Kiwi got him to sky the very next ball into the hands of Dan Mousely. Stoinis had lasted only five balls, but Max Holden soon finished the job with four boundaries in his unbeaten 22. With agencies
