Scorecard . Table
Nat Sciver-Brunt made a stylish unbeaten 67 as Trent Rockets booked their spot in the knockout stage of The Hundred with an emphatic nine-wicket win over MI London.
Sciver-Brunt hit nine fours and one six in her knock off 36 balls, which helped the Rockets chase down 122 for victory at The Oval.
It was the England captain's first 50 in this year's tournament and her 11th in The Hundred overall.
Sciver-Brunt shared a tournament record second-wicket stand of 118 with Australian Beth Mooney, who finished on 54 not out off 44 balls, as the Rockets breezed past the target with 18 balls to spare.
Victory for the Rockets puts them four points above second-placed Southern Brave, who face Manchester Super Giants later in the day.
The Rockets face Brave in their final group match in a game which could well decide who progresses directly to the final.
Earlier, Samantha Bates had taken 3-13 to help restrict MI to a modest 121-5.
Bates had the dangerous Hayley Matthews lbw for 10 early on then the left-arm spinner claimed two wickets in two balls to leave MI struggling at 49-4.
Bates trapped top scorer Kira Chathli lbw for 31 before Nicola Carey was stumped next ball following a smart piece of glovework by Beth Mooney.
The 30-year-old Aussie thought she had a hat-trick when Alice Monaghan was given out lbw, only for the decision to be overturned on review with the ball sliding down leg.
Monaghan and Chinelle Henry led the fightback - both players finishing unbeaten on 27 off 21 balls - as they helped MI recover to post a respectable if not especially challenging total as Rockets cruised to victory with plenty to spare.
