Wins, losses, points and net run rate

Every team has 1 match left. A win is worth 4 points, so no side outside the current top 5 can still catch the pack sitting on 16 or more.

What the current table means for the knockout race

Trent Rockets can't finish outside the top 2 even with a loss. Everything from second place down is still live, and net run rate is doing a lot of the sorting.

How The Hundred 2026 points system works

A win earns 4 points, a loss earns nothing, and a no result or tie splits 2 points each. When teams finish level on points, net run rate decides it, then head-to-head, then the higher scorer in that match. With 3 teams tied on 16 points right now, NRR is the difference between playing in the Eliminator and going home.

How knockout qualification works in The Hundred 2026

3 of the 8 group-stage teams qualify. Finishing first means a direct spot in the final, no extra match needed. Second and third play each other in the Eliminator, a straight knockout, and the winner joins the table-topper in the final.

2nd vs 3rd → Eliminator

The Hundred 2026 knockout race, where every team stands

Trent Rockets are already through. Even with a defeat in their last match, no rival can finish above them or push them outside the top 3.

Sunrisers Leeds, Manchester Super Giants, MI London and Welsh Fire are still fighting it out, and none of them sit in genuine "brink of elimination" territory. Each still controls a realistic path through their final match and NRR.

Birmingham Phoenix, Southern Brave and London Spirit are out. Even a win in their final game caps them at 8 or 12 points, below what three rivals have already locked in.

The race to finish top of The Hundred 2026 table

First skips the Eliminator entirely. Second and third have to win an extra knockout match just to reach the final, so it's worth more than the points table alone suggests.

Trent Rockets and Sunrisers Leeds are the only realistic candidates for top spot. Trent Rockets stay on top with any result against Southern Brave. Sunrisers Leeds need to beat Manchester Super Giants and hope Trent Rockets lose.

The battle for second and third place

Which teams are fighting for the final two knockout spots?

Sunrisers Leeds lead this group on 20. Manchester Super Giants, MI London and Welsh Fire are locked together on 16, separated only by NRR.

Which remaining matches could decide qualification?

Manchester Super Giants host Sunrisers Leeds on 11 Aug, a match that could decide 2 places by itself. MI London face already-out Birmingham Phoenix, and Welsh Fire face already-out London Spirit, both chances to boost NRR.

Could net run rate decide third place?

Very likely. Manchester Super Giants (+0.495) hold the best NRR among the trio on 16 points, ahead of MI London (+0.262) and Welsh Fire (-1.001).

What each team needs to qualify for The Hundred 2026 knockouts

Team	Pts	Match left	Max pts	Route	NRR dependency
Sunrisers Leeds	20	vs Manchester Super Giants	24	Win all but confirms top 3	Low if win, moderate if loss
Manchester Super Giants	16	vs Sunrisers Leeds	20	Win to reach 20 and take control	Low if win, high if loss
MI London	16	vs Birmingham Phoenix	20	Win, then hope results elsewhere fall right	Moderate
Welsh Fire	16	vs London Spirit	20	Win and close the NRR gap	High, given -1.001 mark

Net run rate scenarios explained

When does NRR become the tiebreaker?

Whenever 2 or more teams finish level on points, which looks likely for the battle around 16 to 20 points this year.

Which teams are most at risk from NRR?

Welsh Fire, whose -1.001 NRR trails Manchester Super Giants and MI London by a wide margin among the teams tied on 16.

Can a big win change the knockout race?

Yes. A large margin in the last round can lift a team's NRR enough to leapfrog a rival on equal points, and we'll know exactly how much once the final-round scorecards are in.

Trent Rockets vs Southern Brave, 10 Aug
