TRT-W vs SRL-W Dream11 Prediction — Match 17 Fantasy Tips for The Hundred Women 2026

Match 17 setup at Trent Bridge on 2 August

Trent Rockets Women and Sunrisers Leeds Women meet in Match 17 of The Hundred Women's 2026 at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, on Sunday, 2 August 2026. The fixture is listed for 3:30 PM IST. CricTracker's fantasy preview, published the same morning and updated at 13:03 IST, supplies the match setup, form table, probable XIs, pitch note, and captain-side recommendations that India fantasy readers can convert into a locked XI on Gully Champs, Dream11, MyTeam11 or Gamezy.

Ashleigh Gardner captains Trent Rockets Women, who sit second after four matches with three wins and one defeat. Danielle Gibson captains Sunrisers Leeds Women, who have played three games for one win and two losses and have lost their last two. Broadcast is listed on Star Sports Network with live stream on JioHotstar. For India readers watching and building squads in the same window, that broadcast line is the practical kickoff clock — lock the XI before the first ball, not after the PowerPlay has already decided half the contest.

The editorial read below stays inside CricTracker's verified facts. Where the source leaves a gap — injury confirmation, final toss XI, or late replacements — the gap is stated as open rather than filled with guesswork. Fantasy value here comes from weighting the confirmed pitch split, the named batting leaders, and the captain and vice-captain recommendations against the two probable XIs, not from inventing a third narrative.

Form table: Rockets hold the edge, Leeds need a response

CricTracker lists Trent Rockets Women's recent form as W-W-L-W-W across the last five results shown. Sunrisers Leeds Women's corresponding string is --L-L-W, reflecting a shorter completed sample and two straight losses into this fixture. On paper that is a clear form tilt toward the home side: Rockets have already banked three wins from four completed matches and sit second; Leeds are still hunting for consecutive results after only three outings.

Form is not the whole brief. Leeds still carry named batting threat through Annabel Sutherland (87 runs), Phoebe Litchfield (82) and Bryony Smith (78) among the series batting leaders CricTracker published. Rockets counter with Sophia Dunkley on 138 runs from four matches at a strike rate of 168.29, Sophie Luff on 94, and Beth Mooney on 63. The captaincy axis also differs: Gardner has eight wickets in four matches at an economy of 7.97, which is why the same preview pairs her as the vice-captain pick behind Dunkley's batting case.

For a Gully Champs India reader, the form table sets the base weighting — lean Rockets depth in the safe core of the XI — while the Leeds batting names remain the differential stack in large-field contests. A 100-ball card compresses variance; three wins from four still matter more than a single flash knock, but a short Leeds sample means one strong batting night can rewrite the points table for both the real match and your contest rank.

Pitch and weather at Trent Bridge

CricTracker notes that Match 17 is the first Trent Bridge game of the season for this competition window. The surface is described as sporting, with swing expected. The pace-to-spin split is shown as 60/40, and the average score is listed around 140. Those four details — first use, sporting surface, swing, 60/40 pace bias, ~140 par — are the load-bearing venue facts for fantasy construction.

Weather at Trent Bridge is reported as cloudy, about 19.5°C with 55% humidity. That is a mild English summer afternoon rather than a cold seamer night. Cloud cover plus a sporting first-use surface supports the swing note in the preview; humidity at 55% is moderate, not extreme. The practical captain-side implication is to keep new-ball seamers and all-rounders who bowl with the new ball inside the must-have band, while still leaving room for the two spin options that the 40% spin share implies across a full 100-ball innings.

A ~140 average score on a 100-ball card is a middle-band total. It is high enough that pure death-over batting still scores, and low enough that a three-wicket PowerPlay can choke a chase. Build around multi-skill roles — Gardner-type all-rounders, top-order batters who face the new ball, and one death bowler — rather than stacking six pure batters and hoping the surface plays like a road. First-use Trent Bridge with swing is not a road.

Probable playing XIs from the CricTracker brief

CricTracker lists the probable Trent Rockets Women XI as: BAM Heath, BL Mooney (wk), GL Adams, SIR Dunkley, A Gardner (C), GA Elwiss, KJ Garth, KA Levick, C Phillips, S Bates, SN Luff. The probable Sunrisers Leeds Women XI is listed as: L Winfield (wk), Phoebe Litchfield, BF Smith, DR Gibson (C), JL Jonassen, DB Sharma, A Sutherland, Hannah Baker, KL Cross, Cassidy McCarthy, Darcey Carter.

Those sheets are labelled probable, not confirmed. Injury and availability details are explicitly held back in the source until more information is shared. Treat every name below the confirmed captain as contingent on the toss-time sheet. The fantasy workflow is still useful: map roles from the probable list now, then swap only the one or two names that actually change when the official XI drops.

On the Rockets side, the top order runs through Heath, Mooney, Adams and Dunkley, with Gardner in the middle as captain and primary bowling all-rounder. Elwiss, Garth, Levick, Phillips and Bates supply the bowling spine, and Luff adds middle-order batting depth already visible in the series run chart. On the Leeds side, Winfield keeps, Litchfield and Bryony Smith set the top-order tone, Gibson captains from an all-round role, and Jonassen, Deepti Sharma, Sutherland, Baker, Cross, McCarthy and Carter fill the multi-skill and bowling lanes.

Captain and vice-captain: Dunkley first, Gardner second

CricTracker's captain pick is Sophia Dunkley, credited with 138 runs in four innings at a strike rate of 168.29. The vice-captain pick is Ashleigh Gardner, with eight wickets in four matches at an economy of 7.97. That pairing is the cleanest single takeaway in the brief: bat-first ceiling on the Rockets top order, bowl-and-bat floor on the Rockets captain.

On Gully Champs scoring, the captain multiplies by 2x and the vice-captain by 1.5x. Dunkley's strike-rate profile fits a 100-ball top-order role where boundary count and balls faced both climb quickly if the new ball does not take an early wicket. Gardner's eight-wicket ledger plus the captain's bowling allotment fits a sporting Trent Bridge surface that is expected to swing and still offers all-round contributions with the bat lower down.

Avoidable fantasy names listed in the same preview include Beth Mooney for Trent Rockets Women batting and Darcey Carter for Sunrisers Leeds Women all-round minutes. Avoidable does not mean the players cannot score; it means the source's risk-reward read is negative relative to other names on the same sheet at current pricing and role certainty. If the final XI promotes either name into a clearly expanded role, re-open the question at toss. Until then, keep Mooney and Carter out of the paid core and out of the multiplier slots.

How to weight the two squads inside a 100-credit XI

Start with a 6-5 or 7-4 Rockets lean in safe Gully Champs contests. Rockets sit second with a 3-1 record, host the first Trent Bridge game of the season, and own both named multiplier recommendations. Leeds supply the differential band: Litchfield, Bryony Smith, Sutherland, Gibson and Jonassen are the names that can separate a large-field rank if Leeds break their two-match losing run.

Role balance for a Trent Bridge swing day should look roughly like this: one wicketkeeper, three to four top-order batters, two to three all-rounders, and three to four bowlers with at least two pace-first options. The 60/40 pace-spin split argues against three pure spinners. Keep one specialist spin option and let part-time or all-round spin cover the rest if the surface grips later.

Salary logic stays ordinary. Spend premium credits on Dunkley and Gardner first. Fill the next band with Luff or Adams from Rockets and one of Litchfield, Sutherland or Bryony Smith from Leeds. Use the remaining credits on bowling value — Garth, Levick, Cross, Baker or McCarthy depending on confirmed overs — rather than chasing a third expensive batter who sits outside the series run chart.

Five-step Match 17 checklist for Gully Champs readers

1. Lock the venue facts before the ownership screen. First Trent Bridge game of the season, sporting surface, swing expected, pace/spin 60/40, average score around 140, cloudy 19.5°C and 55% humidity. Those facts beat blind form stacking.
2. Place Dunkley in the captain slot unless the toss XI removes her from the top order. 138 runs at strike rate 168.29 is the source's explicit captain case.
3. Place Gardner in the vice-captain slot for the balanced build. Eight wickets at economy 7.97 plus the Rockets captaincy role is the named VC case. In pure differential Grand League builds, consider Gibson or Sutherland as alternate VC only after the sheet confirms overs and batting slot.
4. Respect the avoid list until role certainty changes. Mooney and Carter are the two names CricTracker flagged as avoidable. Keep them out of multipliers and out of thin 1-2 credit pivots.
5. Re-check injury and final XI at toss. The source states injury and availability details will be shared once available. Do not assume the probable XI is final. Swap only the names that actually change.

Why the 100-ball structure changes the same names

The Hundred compresses bowling into five-ball sets and batting into a shorter total ball budget than a standard T20. Points still come from runs, wickets, catches, and the usual strike-rate and economy bands on Gully Champs, but the distribution is lumpier. A bowler who takes two PowerPlay wickets in consecutive sets can jump a full tier in a single phase. A top-order batter who faces 25 balls at Dunkley's strike-rate band can outscore two middle-order anchors combined.

That is why the preview's captain and VC pairing is coherent on this surface. Dunkley's ball-strike profile attacks the batting side of the compression. Gardner's wicket tally attacks the bowling side. Building both multipliers on Rockets also matches the table position and home conditions without requiring a speculative Leeds bounce-back as the base case.

Readers who want a wider library of captain math, venue checklists and contest construction notes can move from this Match 17 brief into the full set of Fantasy Cricket Tips on Gully Champs. Pair today's Trent Bridge numbers with the same role discipline you use for IPL and domestic T20 cards, and the format difference becomes a calibration step rather than a reset.

What remains open before the first ball

Three items stay open in the source. First, injury and availability details are not yet listed beyond the note that they will be shared once available. Second, the XIs are probable, not toss-confirmed. Third, no head-to-head win probability percentage is supplied in the verified brief, so this article does not invent one. Work with table position, form strings, named leaders, pitch split and the captain/VC recommendations instead of manufacturing a percentage favourite.

If Leeds restore Deepti Sharma and Jonassen for full bowling allotments and Litchfield stays at the top, the differential path is real. If Rockets keep Dunkley and Gardner in primary roles on a swinging Trent Bridge surface, the safe path is the one CricTracker already outlined. Build the safe path first, then clone a second Gully Champs entry that adds one Leeds batting leader and one Leeds all-rounder for large-field upside.

Match 17 starts at 3:30 PM IST on Sunday, 2 August 2026, at Trent Bridge. Use the window between the final warm-up and the toss to confirm the two open items above, keep Dunkley and Gardner as the default multiplier pair, and only break that pair when the sheet forces the change.
