Manchester Super Giants win the men’s Hundred final at Lord’s by five wickets after a chase led by Tim Seifert’s 72 off 38 balls. They successfully reach the target set by Trent Rockets, winning with two balls remaining to claim their first Hundred title.
Rockets post 158 for 8, while Super Giants reply with 162 for 5. Multiple outlets describe a late wobble in the chase, but the result is confirmed as a last-gasp finish that goes down to the final balls. Seifert’s innings is highlighted as the key turning point, including a rapid 23-ball half-century and a flurry of sixes, while Noor Ahmad takes three wickets for 33.
Coverage also notes that Trent Rockets are denied a bid to become the first team to win both Hundred trophies in the same year. Sky and BBC Sport both emphasise the narrow, thrilling nature of the finish, while the Guardian adds context about the team’s previous identities and the significance of this being their maiden men’s title.
