Trent Rockets registered a comfortable victory after reducing Birmingham Phoenix to 64 at Edgbaston on July 24, 2026. The Phoenix’s total equalled the second-lowest score recorded in the women's Hundred and left the Rockets with a straightforward outcome.

The fixture, played at Edgbaston, formed part of the women's Hundred schedule and produced a one-sided contest. Birmingham Phoenix were held to 64, a figure that matches the competition’s second-lowest innings total. Trent Rockets capitalised on that collapse to secure an easy result in Birmingham on July 24, 2026.

The defining element of the game was the Phoenix’s low scoreboard number; their 64 is now recorded as the second-lowest team total in women's Hundred history. That deficit at Edgbaston put the Rockets in a dominant position for the remainder of the match. The scoreline reflected a dominant performance by the Rockets’ bowling and fielding units that left little margin for doubt.

At Edgbaston the Phoenix found runs hard to come by, with their innings ending on 64. The severity of the margin made the contest run its predictable course once the Phoenix were restricted to that total. For the Rockets, the task that followed was one of controlled management rather than dramatic recovery.

The result will stand out in the season’s record because of how few runs the Phoenix managed; equalling the second-lowest total highlights the scale of the defeat. For spectators at Edgbaston, the match unfolded as a clear example of how a brief collapse can determine the outcome in the Hundred format. The Rockets converted that situation into a routine victory.

Trent Rockets leave Edgbaston with a decisive win after Birmingham Phoenix were dismissed for 64, a tally that ties for the second-worst in the competition’s brief history. The emphatic nature of the result underlines the impact of a single low team total in shaping outcomes in the women's Hundred.
