What the table says before the toss
Match 17 of The Hundred Women 2026 is the Saturday-afternoon Trent Rockets Women vs Sunrisers Leeds Women fixture. The published start is 3:30 PM IST on 2 August 2026, with live streaming listed on FanCode. Venue notes in the preview name Kennington Oval, London, for the pitch and weather block, while the opening summary also references Trent Bridge, Nottingham — fantasy users should treat the Oval numbers as the working surface read until the final teamsheet confirms the ground.
The Hundred is a 100-ball format: twenty five-ball sets, ten bowlers available, no conventional six-ball over, and a powerplay window across the first 25 balls of each innings. That structure rewards boundary hitters who face the new ball and multi-skill players who can take a five-ball set with the ball. A 100-credit Dream11 build that treats this like a slow ODI is the wrong shape.
Trent Rockets Women have won three of four completed games and sit among the leading sides on the points table. Their recent form line is listed as W, W, L, W, W. Sunrisers Leeds Women have one win from three and are looking to bounce back from a five-wicket loss to Manchester Super Giants Women, even though Annabel Sutherland and Phoebe Litchfield still produced useful returns in that defeat. Sunrisers' five-match form string is given as L, L, W, W, W — a mixed signal that says the side can win in clusters, but the last outing cut the momentum.

Match lean
Published prediction favours Trent Rockets Women on form, balance and net run rate.
What both benches look like before the coin toss
The published probable XI for Trent Rockets Women is: Sophia Dunkley, Beth Mooney (wk), Sophie Luff, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Ashleigh Gardner (c), Georgia Adams, Georgia Elwiss, Kim Garth, Katie Levick, Charley Phillips and Samantha Bates. That is a top-order stacked with international batters and a bowling group that mixes new-ball pace with two specialist spinners.
Sunrisers Leeds Women's probable XI is listed as: Bryony Smith, Jess Jonassen, Phoebe Litchfield, Annabel Sutherland, Lauren Winfield-Hill (wk), Dani Gibson (c), Deepti Sharma, Darcey Carter, Kate Cross, Cassidy McCarthy and Hannah Baker. The top four alone give Sunrisers multiple ways to score in the powerplay, and the bowling unit has both seam (Cross, Gibson, McCarthy) and spin (Jonassen, Sharma, Baker).
Reading the two XIs for fantasy
Rockets hand the on-field captaincy to Ashleigh Gardner and the gloves to Beth Mooney. Fantasy captaincy is a separate decision — Mooney's batting slot near the top makes her a high-floor keeper, while Gardner's multi-skill path is the cleaner multiplier route if she bowls her full allocation.
Sunrisers list Dani Gibson as on-field captain and Lauren Winfield-Hill as keeper. The fantasy swing names on that side are still Litchfield (top-order volume) and Sutherland (bat-plus-ball). Confirm batting order and bowling lengths about thirty minutes before the toss; one promotion from the lower order can free two credits.
Oval numbers favour the chase and the new-ball pair
The Kennington Oval pitch block in the preview frames a batter-friendly surface with assistance for pacers. Average first-innings score is listed at 147 and average second-innings at 153. Win rates split 47% batting first and 53% bowling first. Pace is marked as the better-suited discipline at 59%. The plain reading is simple: bowling first is the preferred toss call, and at least one new-ball specialist belongs in every serious 100-credit build.
Weather for London at publish sits at 15–16°C with 79% humidity and only a 7% rain chance. Cool, humid air helps seam movement through the first 25-ball powerplay and can slow the outfield early. That combination lifts the value of length-hitting pacers and slightly trims pure spin-only anchors unless a spinner also bats in the top six.
For team construction, lock one Rockets pace option and one Sunrisers seamer before filling spin. The 100-ball format compresses middle overs, so a wrist-spinner or off-spinner who can take a five-ball set still has a path, but the credit should go to multi-skill names first when the map is tight.
The four names that move the credit map
Four published form lines dominate the Match 17 slate. Phoebe Litchfield has 343 runs in 10 matches at an average of 49.0 and a strike rate of 149.7 — the cleanest pure batting volume on the Sunrisers side. Nat Sciver-Brunt carries 214 runs in 7 matches at 42.8 and remains Rockets' most reliable multi-phase batter. Annabel Sutherland has 227 runs in 10 matches at 56.75 with a strike rate of 129.7, plus 16 wickets across those same 10 games. Ashleigh Gardner has taken 15 wickets in 10 matches and captains Rockets on the field.
Phoebe Litchfield
343 runs · 10 matches · avg 49.0 · SR 149.7. Primary Sunrisers batting anchor and a published captain candidate.
Nat Sciver-Brunt
214 runs · 7 matches · avg 42.8. High-floor Rockets batter with all-round upside when she bowls.
Annabel Sutherland
227 runs · 16 wickets · 10 matches. The clearest bat-plus-ball multiplier on the Sunrisers bench.
Ashleigh Gardner
15 wickets in 10 matches, Rockets captain. Lock when her full bowling allocation is confirmed.
Around that core, Beth Mooney remains the default Rockets keeper for floor points, Deepti Sharma and Jess Jonassen give Sunrisers spin control with batting depth, and Kate Cross is the seam option most likely to benefit if Rockets bat first on a humid afternoon. Do not stretch the credit map for lower-order specialists until the final order is out.
Safe lane, risk lane, and the published splits
The published captaincy notes for Match 17 are not a single list. One block frames Annabel Sutherland as captain with Nat Sciver-Brunt as vice-captain. Another stretch of the same preview elevates pure batting volume through Phoebe Litchfield and keeps Ashleigh Gardner as a vice-captain path on bowling returns. A third FAQ/meta lane names Ellyse Perry as a small-league captain and Georgia Voll as the top vice-captain in a free-to-play graphic that also floats a 5 TRT-W + 6 SUL-W split. For Indian-app users, treat the first two blocks — the ones tied to the probable XIs and the four key form lines — as the working matrix, and treat the third as an alternate graphic rather than a locked teamsheet.
Safe build
C: Annabel Sutherland (SUL-W, AR)
VC: Nat Sciver-Brunt (TRT-W, AR/BAT)
Sutherland's 16 wickets plus 227 runs give two scoring paths. Sciver-Brunt anchors the Rockets half of the ledger.
Risk build
C: Phoebe Litchfield (SUL-W, BAT)
VC: Ashleigh Gardner (TRT-W, AR)
Use for 20–30% of large-field entries when you need unique rank and accept a quieter bowling floor.
A middle path keeps Sutherland as captain and flips the vice-captain slot between Sciver-Brunt and Gardner based on bowling confirmation. If Gardner is set for a full allocation and Sciver-Brunt's bowling is light, Gardner is the cleaner VC. If Rockets chase and Sciver-Brunt sits in the top four, keep her as VC and let Gardner live as a core all-rounder without the multiplier.
Keeper, all-rounder and bowler slots that move the line
Wicketkeeper is the first slot to fix. Beth Mooney is the listed Rockets gloveman and bats high enough to clear keeper value on most Dream11 builds. Lauren Winfield-Hill holds the Sunrisers gloves; use her when you need a cheaper keeper path or when Mooney's credit squeezes the rest of the XI. Do not lock either keeper until the toss order is public — a drop below number six collapses the batting half of the keeper return.
All-rounder tier for Saturday
Tier 1: Annabel Sutherland (SUL-W) and Ashleigh Gardner (TRT-W) — the two multi-skill names with the strongest published wicket and run combination. One of them should carry a captain or vice-captain tag in nearly every portfolio ticket.
Tier 2: Nat Sciver-Brunt (TRT-W), Deepti Sharma (SUL-W), Jess Jonassen (SUL-W), Dani Gibson (SUL-W). Confirm bowling lengths before promoting any of them into the multiplier conversation.
Tier 3: Georgia Adams, Georgia Elwiss, Kim Garth — situational Rockets depth. Use only when the credit map is tight and a premium is benched late.
Bowling slots should respect the Oval 59% pace lean. Kate Cross and Kim Garth are the cleanest pure seam paths on the published XIs; Charley Phillips is the late Rockets pace differential if she keeps her place. Spin still has a role through Gardner, Levick, Bates, Jonassen, Sharma and Baker, but pure spin stacks without a batting path are a poor fit for a chase-friendly average second-innings of 153.
A 100-credit Oval build for Dream11
The construction below follows the probable XIs and the four key form lines. Treat it as a template, not a lock — one bowling change in either XI can free two credits and reshuffle a seam slot. Re-confirm both teamsheets about thirty minutes before the toss.
Suggested XI
- WK: Beth Mooney (TRT-W)
- BAT: Sophia Dunkley, Phoebe Litchfield, Sophie Luff, Bryony Smith
- AR: Annabel Sutherland (C), Nat Sciver-Brunt (VC), Ashleigh Gardner, Deepti Sharma
- BOWL: Kate Cross, Kim Garth, Jess Jonassen
Role math inside that XI: one keeper, four specialist batters, four all-rounders, three bowlers. The TRT-W / SUL-W split sits near 5–6, matching the published free-to-play suggestion of five Rockets and six Sunrisers without forcing a one-sided stack. Litchfield and Dunkley cover top-order volume on both sides; Sutherland and Gardner carry the multiplier work; Cross and Garth respect the pace lean.
If you need a cheaper build after a late Rockets bowling confirmation, the first trim is usually one of the two pure batters outside Litchfield and Dunkley, not Sutherland. If you need upside in a mega contest, the first upgrade is often moving Litchfield into the captain slot while keeping Sutherland as vice-captain — that swap trades bowling floor for pure batting ceiling and is the right move in large fields. Do not strip a confirmed multi-skill player to fund a second pure batter solely because the name is cheap.
For users who prefer the alternate free-to-play graphic published alongside the preview, the listed GL-shaped XI ran Jemima Spence, Davina Perrin, Georgia Voll (C), Alice Capsey, Ellyse Perry (VC), Freya Kemp, Sophie Devine, Alana King, Georgia Wareham, Sophia Smale and Lauren Filer. That graphic does not match the Match 17 probable XIs named for Rockets and Sunrisers, so keep it as a secondary reference only if late team news reshapes the contest. The primary build above stays tied to the TRT-W and SUL-W names actually listed for this fixture.
How to flex the build after the coin falls
Oval numbers lean chase: 53% wins bowling first, second-innings average 153 against 147 first up. The cleanest flex rule is still simple. If a side bowls first and wins the powerplay, that side's pacers gain relative value for the rest of the match. If a side bats first and posts 150-plus, chasing batters need to be more aggressive in the first 25 balls, which lifts powerplay specialists over middle-overs accumulators.
If TRT-W bowl first
Keep Gardner locked. Lean into Rockets pace options and hold Litchfield's batting value regardless of chase or defend. Sutherland's bowling points become more important if Sunrisers bat first under humidity.
If TRT-W bat first
Dunkley, Mooney and Sciver-Brunt gain captain-vice relevance. Cross and Gibson bowling points rise on the Sunrisers comeback path. Re-price the AR slot if Gardner's bowling overs shrink in a defend scenario.
If a premium is benched late
Replace like-for-like by role. A missing Sunrisers all-rounder should not be replaced by a pure Rockets batter solely because the name is cheap — promote by role, not by vacancy, and accept the credit refund.
Multi-entry structure for a ten-ticket set: six tickets on the Sutherland–Sciver-Brunt pair with minor bowling churn, two tickets elevating Litchfield to captain while keeping Sutherland as VC, and two high-variance tickets on the Litchfield–Gardner pair. That spread keeps you exposed to the median outcome without abandoning uniqueness.
Why the published edge sits with Trent Rockets Women
The published match lean favours Trent Rockets Women. Rockets arrive with three wins in four, a balanced batting core of Dunkley, Mooney and Sciver-Brunt, and a bowling unit that has supported the top order through the early rounds. Sunrisers still own match-winners in Litchfield, Sutherland and Cross, but two consecutive defeats and a lower net run rate leave them chasing the contest rather than setting it.
Fantasy ranking and match tipping are not the same question. A Rockets win does not automatically mean a Rockets-heavy Dream11 stack. The safer portfolio still mixes five Rockets with six Sunrisers — or a near-even 6–5 — so that Litchfield and Sutherland can clear the multiplier even if Rockets take the points. Head-to-head across the last three meetings sits at one win each with one no-result, which is another reason not to treat the table gap as a one-way ownership signal.

Common questions for Saturday's fixture
What time does the match start in IST?
3:30 PM IST, Saturday 2 August 2026. Live streaming is listed on FanCode.
Who is the safe Dream11 captain pick?
Annabel Sutherland is the cleanest safe captain on bat-plus-ball returns. Pair with Nat Sciver-Brunt as vice-captain for the core build.
Who wins the published match lean?
Trent Rockets Women are favoured on recent form, balance and net run rate, while Sunrisers retain upside through Litchfield and Sutherland.
What does the Oval pitch look like for fantasy?
Batter-friendly surface, average first innings 147 and second innings 153, 53% wins bowling first, pacers marked best suited at 59%. Weather: 15–16°C, 79% humidity, 7% rain chance.
What team split should I use?
A 5 TRT-W + 6 SUL-W split matches the published free-to-play suggestion and keeps both Litchfield and Sutherland live without abandoning Rockets' top-order floor.
Where is the match being played?
The pitch and weather block lists Kennington Oval, London. An opening note also mentions Trent Bridge — re-check the final teamsheet if the ground listing moves.
Final checks before the 3:30 PM IST window
- Confirm both XIs about thirty minutes before toss. One late bowling promotion can free two credits.
- Re-check Beth Mooney's and Lauren Winfield-Hill's batting slots. Keeper value collapses if either drops below number six.
- Keep Annabel Sutherland's captain percentage highest across the core portfolio unless she is pulled from the XI.
- Respect the Oval pace lean — do not stack three pure spinners without a batting path.
- Remember the format: 100-ball cricket, not an ODI. Overloads on pure accumulators without boundary upside waste the multiplier on a five-ball set.
- If a Sunrisers premium is benched, promote by role, not by vacancy. A missing all-rounder is not automatically a pure batter upgrade.
Rockets own the form line and the published match lean. Sunrisers own the two highest-ceiling multi-skill and batting names in Litchfield and Sutherland. The build that balances those facts — five Rockets, six Sunrisers, Sutherland or Litchfield on the armband, Sciver-Brunt or Gardner beside them — is the one that survives when the first powerplay swings 20 runs either way.
Next event to watch on this Hundred schedule: the women's competition's next fixture after Match 17 on the rolling list, when ownership from Saturday will distort captain prices and create fresher differentials among players underused at the Oval. The Hundred's compressed turnaround means price moves settle within 48 hours of a match finishing.
