After winning their first two games, Trent Rockets suffered their first defeat in the 2024 Men’s Hundred with their 6-run loss to Birmingham Phoenix. Chasing a target of 139 at Trent Bridge, the Rockets were left stranded at 132-8. Apart from Alex Hales (38 off 30 balls) and Joe Root (33 off 19 balls), none of the other batters could make an impact.
This loss wouldn’t bother the team much, as they know they have a solid all-round unit.
Tom Banton has been their most consistent batter this year, with 118 runs in 3 innings at an average of 39 and a strike rate of 168.
Sam Hain follows him closely with 76 runs in 3 at an average of 25 and a strike rate of 150.
Alex Hales looked in good touch in the previous game and we are expecting some runs from him in this game.
Among the bowlers, Afghanistan’s star leg-spinner Rashid Khan is the one to watch out for. He has already taken 4 wickets in 2 innings at an economy of 7.05, and will pose a threat to the opposition batters.
Imad Wasim, Sam Cook, and Lewis Gregory have been among the wickets as well, and make this bowling unit that much more potent.

Welsh Fire started their season with a win but have since suffered two back-to-back losses. In their previous game, they could only manage 94-9 against London Spirit at Lord’s and eventually lost by 3 wickets.
Their batters have failed to live up to the expectations so far. Tom Kohler-Core has been their best batter, scoring 44 runs in 3 innings at an average of 14.66 at a strike rate of 75.
The other two who have stood out are Tom Abell and Joe Clarke, who have 39 and 38 runs, respectively. The likes of Tom Kohler-Core, Jonny Bairstow, and Glenn Phillips haven’t made any big contributions yet and that has cost Welsh Fire.
Phillips is someone who can change the game and one solid cameo from him can be really handy for Welsh Fire.
The bowling unit has been David Willey, who has 5 wickets at an economy of 8.70. Haris Rauf has been a terrific addition to this bowling attack. In the first game he played, he took 3-10 from 17 balls. Rauf is excellent at the death and can make a big difference if he gets from the other end.
Matt Henry has also been among the wickets and is fresh off a spell of 3-19 against London Spirit.

Batters often find Trent Bridge to their liking due to its flat nature and its good bounce. However, the pitch also provides some assistance to fast bowlers, particularly when the ball is new. Spinners will need to be spot on to prevent being punished.
The weather forecast for Nottingham is sunny with a gentle breeze, indicating ideal conditions for uninterrupted cricket.

The first match of the 2024 Men’s Hundred played at Trent Bridge saw Birmingham Phoenix saw 138-6 against Trent Rockets. They won that match by 6 runs. Last season, the highest total posted here was Manchester Originals’ 181-6 against Trent Rockets. We reckon a score of around 150 will be par here.
The last five matches at Trent Bridge in the Men’s Hundred have been won by the team batting first, including the previous game this season. This shows that batting first here is the way to go.
Trent Rockets have dominated Welsh Fire in their previous Hundred clashes, emerging victorious on all three occasions. The Rockets have been doing pretty well in the tournament, and have a well-rounded team. Welsh Fire's batting has been inconsistent, and they will need a significant improvement to challenge a formidable opponent like Trent Rockets. Trent Rockets’ bowlers, too, are in terrific form and will fancy themselves against a struggling Welsh Fire.
Trent Rockets are favorites to win this clash.
