In Match 23 of DPL 2025, Central Delhi Kings put up an assertive all-round display to defeat South Delhi Superstarz by 7 wickets. Batting first, the Superstarz had a porous batting lineupand could not build partnerships, finishing with a sub-par total of 141/8 in 20 overs, which was largely because their middle order showed some resistance. The Kings bowlers, led by their spinners, were able to control the run flow. Chasing a target of 141, Central Delhi Kings kept it easy as their openers set the tone for their innings at a brisk pace. Their captain tamed his nerves with a composed fifty to get the Kings past the line in the 18th over and cement their place in second spot on the points table.

Match Summary

• Match: Oval Invincibles Women vs. Trent Rockets Women, Match 23
• Location: Kennington Oval, London
• Toss: Trent Rockets Women (bowl)
• Date: Thursday, 21 August 2025

Trent Rockets Women put in a clinical all-round performance to beat Oval Invincibles Women by 6 wickets. Invincibles batted first and posted 109/7, with Meg Lanning's patient 45 the only significant contribution. The Trent Rockets bowlers were dominant, and the picks were Ashleigh Gardner (2/4) and Kirstie Gordon (2/8). In reply, Grace Scrivens' fluent 34 set the foundation for Jodi Grewcock (21* off 14) and Heather Graham (19* off 11) to finish the job with a score of 113/4 in just 84 balls.

Oval Invincibles Women Innings: 109/7 in 100 balls

Oval Invincibles were able to start steadily, but with some caution, losing an early wicket which needed Meg Lanning to try and rebuild. Lanning played a captain’s knock of 45 from 36 balls, rotating strike well and then slowly finding the boundary. Alice Capsey (18 off 15) tried to lift the run rate in the middle overs, but in losing wickets at regular intervals, they were undermined. Maia Bouchier contributed with 14 but other than Lanning, no batter was able to go past 20 runs. The Rockets’ bowler operated with great discipline on the day, with Ashleigh Gardner (2/4) and Kirstie Gordon (2/8) who managed to choke the run rate completely. Therefore Invincibles fell a long way short of what looked like a par score of 130+.

Batting Highlights:

• Meg Lanning – 45 (36)
• Alice Capsey – 18 (15)
• Maia Bouchier – 14 (12)

Bowling Highlights:

• Ashleigh Gardner – 2/4 (10)
• Kirstie Gordon – 2/8 (15)
• Heather Graham – 1/18 (15)

Trent Rockets Women Innings: 113/4 in 84 balls (Target: 110)

Chasing 110, the Rockets started well with the momentum going as Grace Scrivens struck some boundaries early on to keep the scoreboard ticking. The early loss of Lizelle Lee was not a concern as her 34 off 27 balls set them up effectively despite the early loss. Once the wickets started to fall the Rockets were never in trouble, as the ask was under control. Jodi Grewcock showed maturity beyond her years to score 21* off 14 balls, while Heather Graham (19* off 11) sealed the chase with a few boundaries in the final over. A sensible approach meant that the Rockets completed their chase with 16 balls to spare and more momentum heading into the tournament proper.

Batting Highlights:

• Grace Scrivens - 34 (27)
• Jodi Grewcock - 21* (14)
• Heather Graham - 19* (11)

Bowling Highlights:

• Sophia Smale - 2/20 (20)
• Marizanne Kapp - 1/24 (20)
• Eva Gray - 1/15 (15)

Match Summary

Top Performers

• Player of the Match: Ashleigh Gardner – 2/4 (10)
• Best Batter: Meg Lanning – 45 (36)
• Best Bowler: Kirstie Gordon – 2/8 (15)

Oval Invincibles Women were defeated by six wickets against Trent Rockets Women in Match 23 of The Hundred Women's 2025. Batting first, Invincibles scored only 109/7 from their 100 balls, led by Meg Lanning with 45 runs from 35 balls. The Rockets, under the leadership of bowlers Ashleigh Gardner and Kirstie Gordon, restricted the Invincibles during the entire innings. Rockets bowled out Invincibles in just 84 balls, easily reaching 113/4 with a commitment to chasing down the target. Here are the top reasons why Oval Invincibles Women lost the match.

1. Below-Par Batting Effort 

The innings of the Invincibles were never up to the mark, as they ended up with only 109/7. Meg Lanning’s score of 45 was the only bright light, as she received very little support from her partners Lanning (16)* and Alice Capsey (15)*. The Invincibles did not build partnerships nor rotate the strike to make a score that was defendable.

2. Rockets’ Bowlers Dominating 

Trent Rockets’ attack was disciplined and effective, striking at crucial moments. Ashleigh Gardner (2/10 in 10 balls) and Kirstie Gordon (2/21 in 20 balls) were excellent, and Alexa Stonehouse added 1/5. The effectiveness of their combined work was the main reason why Oval Invincibles did not take off.

3. Confident Chase by Rockets 

The Rockets’ batters approached the target with composure and intent, never allowing pressure to build. Grace Scrivens anchored with 34 off 27, supported by Bryony Smith (24) and Jodi Grewcock (21*). Their balanced effort sealed the win with 16 balls to spare.
