Manchester Super Giants denied Trent Rockets the chance to win both men's and women's Hundred 2026 titles [Getty Images]The Hundred men's competition: Final, Lord'sTrent Rockets 158-8 (100 balls): Donald 38 (19); Noor 3-33Manchester Super Giants 162-5 (98 balls): Seifert 72 (38); Amir 3-29Manchester Super Giants won by five wicketsScorecardManchester Super Giants survived a late wobble with the bat to beat Trent Rockets by five wickets and win the franchise's first Hundred title at Lord's.Super Giants needed a straightforward three off the last nine balls in pursuit of 159, before Mohammad Amir dismissed Heinrich Klaasen and Michael Bracewell and Ben Sanderson bowled two dot balls to bring the equation down to three off three. But Liam Dawson held his nerve to hit the winning runs with a six over mid-wicket, sealing victory with two balls to spare.The chase had been set up by New Zealand's Tim Seifert, who struck a magnificent 72 off 38, featuring seven sixes and four fours in a brutal display of power. Rockets had the chance to dismiss Seifert on 33, but Finn Allen's astonishing relay effort on the boundary was ruled out because his foot had touched the boundary rope before he had jumped over, denying him a sure contender for the catch of the tournament.The result meant the Rockets, who finished top of the table and so progressed straight into the final from their last group game on Monday, failed to become the first franchise to win both men's and women's competitions in the same edition of The Hundred.Ben Duckett's 31 gave them a solid platform, but, in the space of four deliveries, captain Sam Billings was run out for seven and Tim David fell first ball to Noor Ahmad as Super Giants took control.Aneurin Donald blitzed 38 off 19 before quickfire cameos of 20 from Mitch Santner and 32 from Lewis Gregory lifted the Rockets to 158-8.But it proved to be below-par as Seifert and Paul Walter, the Super Giants' star in the Eliminator, added 66 off 31 balls for the first wicket before Jos Buttler briefly entertained a crowd of 27,416 with three sixes in his 23 off 14.The Old Trafford-based side, renamed the Super Giants from this season having preivously been the Originals, lost two previous men's finals, including to the Rockets in 2022, which remains their sole men's title.What has been the impact of new owners on The Hundred?Soaring heat, falling crowds - The Hundred's peculiar summerThe Hundred 2026 tables, top run-scorers & wicket-takersSuper Seifert seals successDespite the late Super Giants wickets, Seifert's knock proved the difference, as Rockets' batters were left to rue plenty of promising starts but none were able to kick on in the same destructive manner. Duckett was caught behind off a beauty from Ahmad but Allen holed out to long-off for 15, Billings was clumsily run out and Donald showed glimpses off brilliance before he frustratingly played on to his own stumps off Dawson. But Seifert went on to equal Will Jacks for the highest score in a Hundred final and finished as the tournament's second highest run-scorer behind Mitchell Marsh, ending with 394 runs at an average just shy of 50. In Super Giants' last five games, he has formed a formidable partnership with Walter at the top of the order - though Seifert fell for a duck in the Eliminator, their other stands have been 74, 119, 128 and this 66. Several of Seifert's sixes were struck with such force that spectators in the second tier were cowering for safety, though it felt cruel that Allen's spectacular boundary effort went in the book as a drop.With the cameos from Walter amd Buttler, as well as Leus du Plooy reaching 27 not out, they appeared to be making light work of the chase before the latter could only watch the carnage unfold from the non-striker's end in the closing stages.Klaasen was superbly caught by a diving Donald on the boundary before Bracewell was pinned lbw, and the crowd came to life at Dawson's swings and misses at his first two balls.Even the winning six delivered a tantalising wait, hanging in the air, teasing the chance of a catch, but it just crept over the rope to spark Super Giants' celebrations.Get cricket news sent straight to your phone
