Ahmed impresses as Rockets crush Originals
Rehan Ahmed shines with bat and ball as Trent Rockets secure a dominant seven-wicket win over Manchester Originals in a thrilling cricket match at Trent Bridge. Rockets captain David Willey's stellar performance with 3-11 and Ahmed's 2-14 set the stage for the victory, as the Originals struggled to 98-8. Ahmed's unbeaten 45 led the Rockets to an easy chase of 99, boosting their net run-rate and keeping the pressure on table-toppers Oval Invincibles. Lewis Gregory's 33 was the only resistance for the Originals, who were outplayed throughout the match, resulting in Rockets maintaining their second-place position in the table.
