Trent Rockets Women continued their impressive run in The Hundred Women 2026 with a commanding six-wicket victory over Birmingham Phoenix Women at Trent Bridge on Wednesday. While Sophia Dunkley‘s explosive half-century powered the chase, it was Kim Garth‘s sensational toe-crushing yorker to dismiss Emma Lamb that became the defining moment of the contest, leaving fans and commentators in awe.

Defending a modest total of 122/7, Birmingham Phoenix were never able to put the Rockets under sustained pressure as the hosts chased down the target in just 84 balls, sealing victory with 16 deliveries to spare. The result marked Trent Rockets’ fourth straight win and lifted them to the top of the points table.

The standout moment of the match arrived late in Birmingham Phoenix’s innings when Garth produced one of the deliveries of the tournament. On the 96th ball of the innings, Lamb looked set to provide a late flourish for Phoenix. However, Garth had other ideas. Charging in with confidence, the Australian-born Ireland international unleashed a pinpoint yorker that crashed into Lamb’s toes before cannoning into the base of the left stump.

The batter had virtually no time to react as the ball sneaked under her bat and dislodged the bail in spectacular fashion. The precision, pace and execution of the delivery immediately drew applause from teammates and spectators alike. The Hundred’s official social media account later shared the dismissal, with the clip quickly attracting attention from cricket fans who praised Garth’s exceptional skill and pinpoint accuracy under pressure.

The wicket also capped off an outstanding bowling performance from Garth, who finished with remarkable figures of four wickets, playing a pivotal role in restricting Birmingham Phoenix to a below-par total of 122/7 from their allotted 100 balls.

Although Garth starred with the ball, it was Dunkley who ensured there were no hiccups during the chase. Opening the innings with positive intent, Dunkley dominated the Birmingham bowling attack with an entertaining 65 off just 37 balls. She mixed elegant strokeplay with aggressive hitting, keeping the required rate comfortably under control throughout the innings.

Her knock earned her the Player of the Match award and laid the perfect platform for Trent Rockets’ successful pursuit. England all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt also made an important contribution, scoring a brisk 24 to keep the momentum firmly with the home side. Together, the pair ensured the Rockets crossed the finish line with six wickets in hand and 16 balls remaining.

The comprehensive victory underlined Trent Rockets’ growing dominance in this year’s competition. With four consecutive wins now under their belt, they have emerged as one of the strongest contenders for the title. While the batting display was clinical, the biggest talking point remained Garth’s unforgettable yorker to Lamb—a delivery that showcased elite fast-bowling execution and is certain to feature among the standout moments of The Hundred Women 2026.
