Team overview
Trent Rockets at a glance
Trent Rockets represent Nottingham and the East Midlands in The Hundred. The women's and men's sides have separate squads, standings and statistics but share one identity, ownership operation and Trent Bridge home.
Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club retains a 51% majority. Cain International and Ares Management Credit Funds jointly hold the other 49%, with the completed TeamCo partnership taking operational control from the 2026 season.
Both Rockets sides finished first and advanced directly to the 16 August Finals at Lord's. The women went 7–1 with 28 points and a +1.391 net run rate; the men went 6–2 with 24 points and a +0.740 net run rate. Their opponents remain TBC until the Eliminators are complete.
Direct qualification explained
Why do both Trent Rockets teams skip the Eliminator?
Both sides finished first in their separate group tables, so each advanced directly to the Final. The women led at 7–1 and 28 points; the men led at 6–2 and 24 points.
The 16 August fixtures already name Trent Rockets as the first team at Lord's, but the opponents remain TBC until the women's and men's Eliminators are completed on 14 August.
This is not one combined qualification. The women and men independently earned first place, and each can win only its own competition.
Same destination, different finish
Did the women and men reach the Finals with identical records?
No. Trent Rockets Women finished 7–1 after chasing 118 against Southern Brave Women, while Trent Rockets Men finished 6–2 after Southern Brave Men chased 159 at Trent Bridge.
The women's only defeat came against London Spirit in their second match. The men lost the opening match to Birmingham Phoenix, won six in succession and then lost the final group game.
Both paths produced first place, but the records, points and net run rates remain competition-specific rather than being flattened into a single franchise streak.
Myth versus combined points
Do 52 combined points give Trent Rockets a head start in either Final?
No. Adding 28 women's points to 24 men's points creates a useful 52-point franchise summary, but the Finals start as separate matches with no points carried forward.
The women's +1.391 and men's +0.740 net run rates settled group-stage ordering only. They do not add runs, wickets or any other advantage to the title matches.
A combined table can show how the shared identity performed across 16 group games; it cannot decide a champion or merge the two trophies.
Advanced leader reading
Why is the Rockets' best all-round contribution not the same as each top-scorer or wicket leader?
Sophia Dunkley led the women with 260 runs and Sam Bates led with 11 wickets. Ashleigh Gardner's 98 runs and 10 wickets instead describe the strongest two-skill contribution, not an official award.
For the men, Ben Duckett led with 306 runs, while Craig Overton and Calvin Harrison shared the wicket lead at eight. Mitch Santner combined 126 runs with six wickets, giving him a different all-round value.
These categories answer different questions. A player should not be labelled the overall season leader merely because batting and bowling totals have been placed on the same card.
Roster versus participation
Does the 40-player directory mean all 40 appeared for Trent Rockets?
No. The official 2026 feed contains 19 women and 21 men after injury and availability updates, but roster membership does not prove selection or an appearance.
Replacement names such as Ailsa Lister, Grace Johnson, Mohammad Amir, Brad Currie, Calvin Harrison and Matt Milnes show why an auction-day list can become stale during a live season.
The squad grid therefore answers who was in the current competition directory. Match scorecards remain the separate evidence for who actually played and produced a statistic.
Both Trent Rockets sides qualify directly for the Final
Combined display only: 16 group matches, 13 wins, three losses and 52 points. Separately, Women finished first at 7–1, +1.391 NRR and 28 points; Men finished first at 6–2, +0.740 NRR and 24 points. Both advance directly to separate Finals.
