Trent Rockets 123 for 5 (Sciver-Brunt 36*, Scrivens 32, Sutherland 3-14) beat Northern Superchargers 103 (Higham 26, Graham 3-13) by 20 runs

Trent Rockets began their Hundred campaign in fine style, defeating Northern Superchargers by 20 runs at Headingley thanks to a superb performance from their spin arsenal.

Bryony Smith made 23 from 21 before becoming Sutherland's second victim and Smith dismissed Gardner and Graham with consecutive deliveries to reduce the Rockets to 87 for 4.

They came up short with the bat, though, as the Rockets registered a commanding win.

"It was nice to have a bit of turn and grip in the wicket," King said. "We saw that the wicket did a lot in the first innings so we just had to keep our processes really simple. I love to have a pitch with a little bit of turn and I was happy to play my part.

"It felt really nice out of the hand," she said of the delivery which bowled Heath. "It's a leg-spinner's dream, so I'll take that first pill. I've loved having Ash [Gardner] and HG [Graham] join the Rockets this year. We played three Aussies today and we loved getting the win."
