Dwayne Bravo, Ben Raine and Adil Rashid were amongst the wickets for the Superchargers but weren’t effective enough to strangle the Rockets batters.
Trent Rockets with back-to-back wins move to second place in The Hundred standings
It was a comprehensive victory for Trent Rockets, although David Wiese stole the show for the Superchargers with a blistering fifty. However, the Superchargers' bowling disappointed as the Rockets registered consecutive wins to go second in points table.
The Superchargers would be bouyed by the fight shown by their lower order after their batters failed to come to the party. They'll hope for a better performance in their next game as they seek to move up from fifth place in the standings.
