Manchester Super Giants Form

Manchester Super Giants suffered their first defeat of the season last time out, losing by eight wickets to Sunrisers Leeds despite posting 181/3. Jos Buttler led the way with an unbeaten 63 off 33 balls, Heinrich Klaasen struck 53 off 27, and Aiden Markram added 32.

However, the bowlers were unable to defend the total. Sonny Baker and Josh Tongue took one wicket each, but Gus Atkinson, Liam Dawson and Noor Ahmad went wicketless as Sunrisers chased the target with 12 balls remaining.

Buttler has been Manchester’s standout batter this season, scoring 169 runs in three innings at an average of 84.50. Tim Seifert has added 96 runs, while Baker leads the attack with five wickets and Dawson has taken four.

Manchester will be eager to respond quickly and return to winning ways. With a powerful batting line-up and an experienced attack, they have the quality to produce a stronger all-round display.

Trent Rockets Form

Trent Rockets delivered a commanding performance in their previous match, beating the Welsh Fire by nine wickets with 28 balls to spare. After restricting the Fire to 122/7, they chased the target comfortably in just 72 balls.

Ben Duckett anchored the innings with an unbeaten 52 off 45 balls, Finn Allen struck 33 off 19, and Tom Banton finished strongly with 31 not out from 15 deliveries.

The bowlers set up the win, with Mitchell Santner taking 3/35 and Matt Henry claiming two wickets. Mohammad Amir and Lewis Gregory also chipped in with one wicket each.

Duckett has been Trent’s leading batter with 169 runs in three innings at an average of 84.50, while Banton has made 99 runs at a strike rate of 186.79. Calvin Harrison and Santner lead the bowling charts with four wickets each.

Trent will look to build on that momentum as their batting and bowling units continue to click.

Team news

Both teams have won two of their three matches in the tournament and sit in the top two sports on the table, so this should be a tough and tight battle.

Manchester Super Giants (possible XI): Aiden Markram (c), Tim Seifert, Jos Buttler, Heinrich Klaasen, Leus du Plooy, Tom Moores, Liam Dawson, Gus Atkinson, Noor Ahmad, Josh Tongue, Sonny Baker.
