Southern Brave 167 for 7 (Roy 70, Payne 2-17) beat Welsh Fire 163 for 6 (Kohler-Cadmore 84, Overton 3-22) by four runs
In the last game of the group stage, Welsh Fire could have climbed as high as fourth in the table with a win against Southern Brave in Southampton but defeat left them rock bottom, joining their women's team in ending up with the wooden spoon.
In the end it was Southern Brave, with Jason Roy (70 off 39) rolling back the years, who ended up in that fourth position, after a game that was all about playing for pride, the top three positions in the table all having been decided days ago.

Southern Brave 106 for 8 (Adams 30*, Matthews 2-16) beat Welsh Fire 77 for 9 (Beaumont 28, Bell 4-6) by 29 runs
In the final match before The Hundred Eliminator on Saturday - and with the teams already inked in for that game, which will decide who takes on the Southern Brave in Sunday's final - this top versus bottom clash was a chance for the home side to maintain their unbeaten record, a feat never before achieved in The Hundred, or for the Fire to find a spark from the dying embers of their campaign.
And it looked for all the world like the visitors would do just that, a disciplined bowling performance restricting an experimental Brave batting line-up to just 106 for 8. It took skipper Georgia Adams' resolute unbeaten innings (30 off 26) to get them up to that mark, with no batter able to break the shackles imposed by Hayley Matthews and Katie Levick.

Somerset 149 for 4 (J Rew 46, T Rew 40*) beat Gloucestershire 155 (Taylor 43, Lammonby 3-22) by six wickets DLS
Somerset romped through to the Metro Bank One-Day Cup semi-finals with a comprehensive six-wicket victory over arch-rivals Gloucestershire at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton.
The visitors were bowled out for a disappointing 155 in 40.5 overs after winning the toss, skipper Jack Taylor top-scoring with 43. There were three wickets each for Jake Ball and Tom Lammonby, while Jack Leach sent down ten overs of left-arm spin for miserly figures of 2 for 23.

Trinbago Knight Riders 152 for 2 (Carty 60, Hales 55*, Shakib 1-25) beat Antigua and Barbuda Falcons 146 for 7 (Andrew 40, Imad 37, Usama 34, Amir 3-22, Russell 2-23, Hosein 2-25) by eight wickets
Nicholas Pooran finished the game with a huge six off Jayden Seales with eight balls and eight wickets in the bank, but Trinbago Knight Riders' jinx-breaking win over Antigua and Barbuda Falcons (they had lost all three games prior to this one) on Wednesday night in CPL 2025 had been all-but confirmed well before that.
First, by Mohammad Amir, Andre Russell and Akeal Hosein, who picked up seven wickets between them to set up a chase of 147. And then by a partnership worth 87 runs between Alex Hales and Keacy Carty for the second wicket, which took its time (73 balls), but Knight Riders were never in a hurry.

Trent Rockets geared up for their Eliminator showdown with Northern Superchargers by sneaking past Birmingham Phoenix with one ball to spare after a memorable debut in The Hundred for Ben Cox and an eye-catching all-round display from Rehan Ahmed.
The Rockets confirmed their second-place finish in the group, behind Oval Invincibles on net run rate, and will go into Saturday evening's contest at the Kia Oval full of confidence after claiming their sixth win in eight.

Trent Rockets 126 for 7 (Sciver-Brunt 52) beat Birmingham Phoenix 123 for 6 (Lamb 56*, Gordon 2-24) by three wickets
Trent Rockets concluded their campaign with a third successive win, Nat Sciver-Brunt's third half-century of the competition setting up a nervy three-wicket victory over Birmingham Phoenix to nudge her team up to fourth in the table.
Sciver-Brunt finished as the leading run-scorer in last summer's women's competition and the England skipper's thrilling innings of 52 from 29 balls at Trent Bridge moved her up to second place in this season's batting charts, behind Meg Lanning of Oval Invincibles.

St Lucia Kings 203 for 6 (Auguste 73, Seifert 37, Motie 2-32, Blades 2-35) beat Guyana Amazon Warriors 202 for 6 (Shepherd 73*, Iftikhar 33, McDermott 30, Gaston 2-57) by four wickets
Twenty-one-year-old Ackeem Auguste enthralled the St Lucia Kings home fans, with his family members in attendance, by smashing 73 off just 35 balls which scripted their four-wicket win over Guyana Amazon Warriors in their CPL 2025 match on Tuesday.
Kings' lower order added the finishing touches in the chase of 203, sealed by captain David Wiese with 11 balls to spare, which helped them jump to second place, only one point behind Antigua and Barbuda Falcons with one game in hand. Only three points separate five out of the six teams now after Kings made it 3-0 over Warriors in their most recent contests. It was also the first time in the CPL that Amazon Warriors have scored 200-plus and lost, winning each of the last ten times they got there.

Manchester Originals 140 for 3 (Buttler 70, Ravindra 47*) beat Northern Superchargers 139 for 8 (Patel 42, Aspinwall 3-17) by seven wickets
With the return of Sir James Anderson to the Manchester Originals' line-up, there was an extra frisson at Headingley for the local derby as the Northern Superchargers looked to record eight wins from eight for the women and men at their northern fortress. Alas for Harry Brook's side, although they will still be in the Eliminator at the Kia Oval on Saturday, it was not to be.
Starting on the same points total as the Trent Rockets but with a significant deficit in net run rate, the Superchargers were looking for a big win to give themselves a decent chance of finishing second in the group stages.

Glamorgan 278 for 3 (Tribe 131*, Smale 83*) beat Leicestershire 274 (Hill 81, Norton 3-41, Franco 3-59) by seven wickets
Youngsters prevailed for Glamorgan against Leicestershire, to secure a consolation victory at the end of a sour, bottom-placed title defence of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup.
Asa Tribe's second century in as many games backed up figures of 3 for 41 and 3 for 59 from 18-year-old pair Tom Norton, on debut, and Romano Franco respectively. Norton's career got off to an impressive start as he dismissed Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood for a first professional wicket.
