There could be a Trent Rockets double and a Sam Billings four-peat at Lord's on Sunday as the 2026 edition of The Hundred draws to a close. Rockets' men's and women's sides advanced directly to the finals after topping their respective tables during the group phase, winning 13 of their combined 16 matches. The Midlanders already have the Hundred Helix trophy sewn up - a new prize awarded to the best-performing franchise across the men's and women's competitions.
Now, though, Rockets, want to secure individual men's and women's glory, live on Sky Sports Cricket and Sky Sports Mix. The women are up first at the Home of Cricket as they take on defending champions SunRisers Leeds from 2.15pm - SunRisers triumphed a year ago under their Northern Superchargers name - before the men play Manchester Super Giants from 6pm. Rockets women have never won The Hundred before.
In fact, this is their first final, after four group-stage exits and a defeat in the eliminator across the first five editions. Rockets men, meanwhile, are one-time champions, prevailing in 2022 before their now-captain Billings began his love affair with this tournament and led Oval Invincibles to three successive Hundred titles, capped off with a win over Rockets in the 2025 final. Invincibles let Billings go ahead of the auction as they began a new era under their MI London moniker, allowing Rockets to swoop for him.
It has been an extremely shrewd acquisition, with Billings now on the brink of four in a row. The Rockets skipper said: "It is impressive. It's something I'm very proud of and to have the opportunity to win another one, albeit with a different team, is very pleasing.
You want to be in this stage of the tournament every year so it's not lost on me. "The opportunity we have, I never take it for granted, playing here at the Home of Cricket. As a young kid growing up, you dream of occasions like this and playing at Lord's.
As you get older, you start to appreciate these things a little more, I suppose. "I think we might be one of the oldest teams in the competition. We have a lot of guys who have played in finals before, been successful in finals.
