Malan scored an unbeaten 98 runs knock for the Trent Rockets
Riding on an explosive knock of unbeaten 98 by opener Dawin Malan, Trent Rockets cruised to an eight-wicket victory over Manchester Originals in the 11th match of The Hundred 2022 at Old Trafford on Saturday, August 13.
Manchester bowlers sent on leather hunt
Chasing a colossal total of 189, all Trent Rockets needed was a flying start and their openers did exactly as Alex Hales and Dawid Malan made a mockery of Manchester bowlers and battered them all around the park to notch up an 85-run opening stand.
While Alex Hales perished after scoring 38 off 20 balls, Malan continued his onslaught and played a stupendous inning of unbeaten 98 off 44 balls to help Trent Rockets overwhelm the target without a fuss.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore also played a breezy cameo of 27-ball 30 before Ian Cockbain tonked the winning runs for the Nottinghamshire-based franchise as the team won the match with six balls to spare.
For Manchester Originals, only Tom Hartley and Matt Parksion could manage to get a wicket.
