S Mahmood to C Green
Short of the wicket, miscues his pull past the short mid-wicket fielder to scamper back for a couple, a chance at the keeper's end but the throw is wide!

S Mahmood to T Alsop
FOUR! Trent seal a big victory to sign off at their homeground! What a chase this has been from the men in yellow! Full length delivery, on the leg stump, Alsop flicks it past the diving long on fielder to seal the W with a boundary! Oval are denied a direct entry into the final today and all depends on tomorrow's result for them!

Chasing 151, the Trent Rockets lost Tom Banton cheaply on six after he survived two major scares in the opening set. Jalex Hales was joined by Joe Root at the crease.

Joe Root holed out in the deep on 12.
Tom Alsop along with Rovman Powell started building a partnership for the hosts. Both kept the Invincibles at bay and took their stand past 50. Both teed off and pounced on anything loose. Powell hit some lusty blows and scored 27-ball 45 before falling in the 18th set. Sam Curran was taken out of the attack in the penultimate set because of bowling two waist-high no-balls. Alsop held his nerves and remained unbeaten on 41 off just 24 balls to take the Rockets across the line with six balls to spare.
Earlier, Will Jacks and Dawid Malan gave a good positive start for the Oval Invincibles who elected to bat first. Both played some lovely strokes upfront and put 47 between them before Jacks was trapped in front of the stumps on 30. Jordan Cox joined Malan at the crease who was looking good at the crease. Cox scored 39 off 30 balls before getting cleaned up in the 18th set.
Malan brought up a well-composed fifty off 41 balls. Donovan Ferreira provided the finishing touches to the innings. He played a fantastic cameo of 27 off 10 balls to power his side to 150/3. Malan carried his bat and remained unbeaten on 53. Samuel Cook picked up two wickets for the Trent Rockets whereas Lewis Gregory chipped in with one. The Rockets' batters then contributed and helped them chase down the total successfully and finish the season on a high.

Rovman Powell (Match Hero): "It's nice to finally get a few and help my team. It's been a tough season for all of us but it's nice to put out some entertainment for the fans.
I am a long way behind Pooran at 113M when I hit that 101M and he is going to give me a bit of stick there, haha. It's for me to try and go as deep as possible, batting at no. 5 you have to control the innings and get your team over the line and fortunately today for us went well/"
