The Women’s Hundred 2026 final is set, with Trent Rockets taking on defending champions Sunrisers Leeds at Lord’s on August 16.
The two teams arrive with very different knockout histories. Sunrisers Leeds, previously known as Northern Superchargers, are preparing for their third final and have won four of their five knockout matches. Trent Rockets, meanwhile, are appearing in the final for the first time.
Sunrisers Leeds Have Strong Knockout Record
Sunrisers Leeds have reached the knockout stage three times in Women’s Hundred history.
Their first appearance came in 2023 under the Northern Superchargers name. They defeated Welsh Fire in the Eliminator before losing to Southern Brave in the final.
In 2025, they went one step further. After beating London Spirit in the Eliminator, Northern Superchargers defeated Southern Brave in the final to claim their maiden title.
This season, now competing as Sunrisers Leeds, they defeated Southern Brave in the Eliminator to reach a second consecutive final.
Sunrisers Leeds Knockout Record
- 2023: Beat Welsh Fire in Eliminator, lost to Southern Brave in Final
- 2025: Beat London Spirit in Eliminator, beat Southern Brave in Final
- 2026: Beat Southern Brave in Eliminator
Overall, Sunrisers Leeds have won four of their five knockout matches.
Trent Rockets Reach Maiden Final
Trent Rockets have far less knockout experience.
Before 2026, their only appearance beyond the league stage came in 2022, when they lost to Southern Brave in the Eliminator.
This season has been completely different.
The Rockets dominated the league stage, winning seven of their eight matches and finishing top of the table. That earned them direct qualification for the final, meaning they avoided the Eliminator entirely.
Trent Rockets Knockout Record
- 2022: Lost to Southern Brave in Eliminator
- 2026: Qualified directly for Final
The Lord’s final will therefore be only the second knockout match in Trent Rockets women’s history.
Experience vs Form
Sunrisers Leeds clearly hold the advantage in knockout experience.
They have already played five knockout matches, reached three finals and won the title once. They also enter the final on a five-match winning streak.
However, Trent Rockets have been the strongest team of the 2026 season.
They lost only once during the league stage and head into the final on a six-game winning run. Their consistency across the competition has made them the team to beat.
Who Has the Edge?
Sunrisers Leeds bring proven knockout experience and the confidence of being defending champions.
Trent Rockets bring stronger league-stage form and the advantage of reaching the final directly.
That makes the final an intriguing clash between experience and momentum.
Sunrisers Leeds will be aiming to successfully defend their title, while Trent Rockets have the chance to lift the Women’s Hundred trophy for the first time.
