Finals Day gives me a harder test than the split double-headers. Trent Rockets had already secured the combined trophy before either final: 52 points from the two group tables plus both four-point group-winner bonuses put them on 60, beyond what Manchester or Leeds could reach. The women then beat Leeds and the men lost to Manchester. There was still a shared reason to follow both matches because Trent could win two separate championships, but the combined trophy itself added nothing to the second final. If the aggregate is settled before the two biggest matches, is it creating a shared sporting stake or recognising the strongest group stage? https://www.thehundred.com/standings https://www.thehundred.com/news/4510721 https://www.thehundred.com/
