After 34 matches and 33 days of cricketing action, The Hundred Men's competition came to an end, with Trent Rockets emerging as the winner of the 2022 season.

Lewis Gregory and his men were clearly the best team of the tournament, winning 6 out of 8 games in the league stage and finishing at the top of the table with maximum points.

They defeated Manchester Originals in a nail-biting Final by two wickets and won the second edition of The Hundred Men's tournament at Lord's.

The Nottingham franchise faced a highly confident Manchester Originals side in the final, who gave a serious fight and kept the Rockets on the back foot in the major part of the chase. However, captain Gregory rose to the occasion at the end and took his team to their maiden Hundred title.

Speaking in the presentation ceremony, Gregory shed light on his feeling after getting his team over the line under immense pressure.

"Yeah, it was really a good feeling. Great to take the team past the finishing line," the captain of Trent Rockets said in the post match presentation.

The Rockets were eight down while needing 11 runs off the last set. The 30-year-old hits a six and a boundary, followed by a single to finish the game with two balls remaining.

"Yeah obviously we needed some boundaries, and luckily got it off the middle of the bat. In the second half, Manchester was amazing, to get out there after losing three matches initially is incredible," he added.
