Head-to-Head

The Trent Rockets have won two of their last three matches in The Hundred against the Southern Brave, although the Brave have won three of their last five matches against the Rockets.

Trent Rockets Form

Trent Rockets are flying at the top of the table with six wins and just one defeat from their seven matches.

Ben Duckett has been their leading run-scorer in The Hundred Men’s competition with 289 runs, while Craig Overton has been their most successful bowler with seven wickets. The Rockets come into this fixture after a six-wicket victory over MI London. Bowling first, they restricted MI London to 147/7 from their 100 balls, despite a strong recovery from Will Jacks and Sam Curran.

MI London lost James Vince and Nicholas Pooran cheaply, but Jacks and Curran rebuilt the innings impressively. Jacks made 39, while Curran struck 72 from 46 balls to give the innings substance. At one stage, MI London looked capable of pushing beyond 160, but they failed to accelerate at the death and had to settle for 147.

Trent’s chase was not straightforward, especially after the early dismissals of Finn Allen and Sam Billings. However, Aneurin Donald and Tim David steadied the innings with valuable contributions of 23 and 32. Mitchell Santner then produced the match-winning knock, blasting an unbeaten 52 from only 23 balls to guide the Rockets home with six wickets in hand.

Southern Brave Form

Southern Brave are sixth on the table with two wins and five defeats, and they need a strong finish to restore pride after a difficult campaign.

Tristan Stubbs has been their top run-scorer with 161 runs, while Adil Rashid has led the bowling effort impressively with 10 wickets. The Brave come into this match after a narrow 10-run defeat against Manchester Super Giants. Bowling first, they conceded 149/8 from 100 balls, with Tim Seifert and Paul Walter doing most of the damage.

Seifert made 55 from 34 deliveries, while Walter struck 64 from just 32 balls. Their 119-run opening stand put the Super Giants in control and had them on course for a score beyond 160. However, the Brave fought back well after the pair were dismissed, restricting the Super Giants to 149.

In reply, the Southern Brave lost Michael Kyle Pepper early and struggled to build momentum. Jamie Smith and Stubbs tried to rebuild, but both used up too many deliveries during the chase. Smith made 26 from 25 balls, while Stubbs finished unbeaten on 53 from 38, but it was not enough as the Brave fell short by 10 runs.

Team news

The Rockets will go in all guns firing, while the Brave might rotate their squad to give their fringe players some game time. With the Braves having nothing to lose the Rockets will need to be on their guard against a potentially potent performance from the visitors.

Trent Rockets squad: Tim David, Tom Banton, Ben Duckett, Mitchell Santner, Finn Allen, David Payne, Lewis Gregory, Craig Overton, Dan Mousley, Matt Henry, Sam Billings, Aneurin Donald, Ben Mayes, Danny Briggs, Brad Currie, Louis Kimber.

Southern Brave squad: Jofra Archer, Jamie Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Tristan Stubbs, Adil Rashid, David Miller, Luke Wood, Chris Jordan, Ben McKinney, Thomas Rew, Michael Pepper, Tom Abell, Dan Worrall, Caleb Falconer, Nikhil Chaudhary.
