Match 3 of The Hundred Women's competition witnessed Trent Rockets registering a victory by 43 runs against Manchester Originals on Saturday (August 13) at Old Trafford.
Abigail Freeborn helped Rockets post a respectable total
Invited to bat first, Rockets did not get off to a good start with no significant partnerships in the powerplay overs. The abysmal form of experienced Mignon du Preez (9) continued in this tournament as well. At the end of six overs, they were stuttering at 43/4.
Abigail Freeborn hit an unbeaten 45
It took a tremendous effort from Abigail Freeborn to resurrect the Rockets' innings and keep the run-rate ticking. She added 45 runs for the fifth wicket with Katherine Brunt.
In the end, Alana King provided two lusty blows to end the innings in a fine fashion. Freeborn remained unbeaten on 45 off 38, and Rockets posted 119 in the designated 100 balls.
