Trent Rockets vs Birmingham Phoenix Team Preview

Trent Rockets

Trent Rockets have two games remaining in the group stage, and they are just outside the top three. But if they want to make the playoffs, they must start turning positive positions into victories.

Trent Rockets had made two changes ahead of their home game against Manchester Originals on Thursday, with England opener Sam Hain and Sam Cook replacing Dawid Malan and John Turner in the batting order. Malan’s departure gave Joe Root the opportunity to bat at number one and we anticipate the same for this match.   

Birmingham Phoenix

Birmingham Phoenix still had a mathematical chance to go to the next round of the competition before Friday’s games, but they need to win this match to maintain that chance.

Tanveer Sangha, a leg-spinner, rejoined the team for his second appearance in The Hundred 2023 when Birmingham Phoenix decided to field an extra bowler in their final match after Chris Benjamin withdrew. Before this game, there are no injuries in the team.

Trent Rockets vs Birmingham Phoenix outfield report

Trent Bridge

The Manchester Originals won the previous match at Trent Bridge despite being asked to bat first. However, if either captain wins the toss, we believe they will opt to field first.

In Nottingham, it appears to be a warm, dry afternoon with a medium degree of humidity. All day long, it will be in the early to mid-20s.  

On this surface on Thursday night, 11 wickets and 352 runs were scored, so we anticipate another high-scoring contest. This season, pace bowlers have enjoyed the most success on this pitch.
