Trent Rockets Women vs Sunrisers Leeds Women, Final – The Hundred Women’s Competition 2026
The Women’s Hundred 2026 reaches its climax at Lord’s as Trent Rockets Women take on Sunrisers Leeds Women in a high-stakes final on Sunday, August 16.
Lord’s traditionally offers a balanced surface with good carry and bounce, allowing batters to play through the line while giving pacers something to work with early on. In The Hundred women’s games here, first-innings scores have generally hovered around the 140–150 mark, making 150+ a very competitive total.
Weather conditions are expected to be pleasant for a final. Forecasts show partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies, temperatures in the 18–24°C range, and only a slight chance of rain (around 7–20%). Humidity may sit around 60–80%, which could offer a touch of assistance to the bowlers, especially in the first 25 balls, but interruptions look unlikely.
This is the showpiece match of the sixth edition of The Hundred Women’s Competition, with the trophy up for grabs at the home of cricket. Trent Rockets Women finished as one of the top sides in the league phase and have shown impressive consistency across the tournament. Sunrisers Leeds Women, the defending champions, come into the final with strong late-season form and the experience of winning big matches under pressure.
For Trent, this is about converting a strong campaign into a title and adding another trophy to their cabinet. For Sunrisers, it’s a chance to defend their crown and prove they can win again on the biggest stage.

This final looks extremely tight. Trent Rockets Women bring consistency, a balanced squad, and recent success against Sunrisers, including that five-run win earlier in August. Sunrisers Leeds Women, however, carry the momentum of defending champions, a fearsome top order, and a head-to-head record that’s essentially level.
On a good Lord’s surface with minimal rain risk, the side that handles the powerplay best and executes in the death overs should edge it. Taking overall squad balance, recent form, and big-match experience into account, Trent Rockets Women have a slight edge, but Sunrisers Leeds are more than capable of turning this around if their top order fires. Expect a close, high-quality final that could go either way.
