Team Previews
Trent Rockets Preview
Trent Rockets have shown glimpses of promise but need more consistency with the bat. The opening pair of Tom Banton and Joe Root have managed solid starts, but Root’s strike rate remains a concern. Skipper David Willey’s experiment of batting at No.3 didn’t yield the expected results. Middle-order batters like Rehan Ahmed, Max Holden, and Adam Hose have the ability to stabilize innings, while Marcus Stoinis remains a reliable finisher. Their bowling is the team’s strong point — Lockie Ferguson’s express pace, Sam Cook’s accuracy, and Willey’s swing bowling provide early breakthroughs. Spinners Rehan Ahmed and Akeal Hossein bring variety and will be crucial against Southern Brave’s power hitters. The key for Rockets will be converting starts into big partnerships and maintaining control in the death overs.
Predicted XI:
Tom Banton, Joe Root, Rehan Ahmed, Max Holden, Adam Hose, Marcus Stoinis, Tom Alsop (wk), David Willey (c), Akeal Hossein, Lockie Ferguson, Sam Cook.
Southern Brave Preview
Southern Brave’s batting has been hit-and-miss this season. Laurie Evans’ quick-fire 53 in the last game kept them competitive, while James Coles’ unbeaten 49 lacked acceleration at key moments. The top order of James Vince, Jason Roy, and Leus du Plooy is capable of explosive starts. Hilton Cartwright and Michael Bracewell offer middle-order stability. The real strength lies in their world-class pace attack — Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, and Tymal Mills bring pace, bounce, and yorkers, making them lethal in the death overs. Craig Overton provides additional seam options. If their top order fires, Southern Brave can dominate any opposition.
Predicted XI:
Leus du Plooy, James Vince (c), Jason Roy, James Coles, Laurie Evans (wk), Hilton Cartwright, Michael Bracewell, Chris Jordan, Craig Overton, Jofra Archer, Tymal Mills.

Favourite Team Today
Southern Brave look slightly stronger due to their pace-heavy attack which can exploit Trent Bridge’s bounce and early movement. The trio of Archer, Jordan, and Mills is capable of dismantling any batting order. With Vince and Roy in form, their batting depth is also a plus. While Rockets have home advantage, their batting has been inconsistent, which could cost them against Brave’s elite bowling attack.
Pitch Report
Trent Bridge offers a good batting track with some help for pacers early on. The ball comes nicely onto the bat, but spinners can extract grip in the middle overs. A first innings score of 140–150 is competitive.
Weather Report
Clear skies with minimal rain chances. Temperature around 21°C, humidity 55%, light breeze — ideal cricket conditions.
