TR vs BP Team Previews

Trent Rockets

Trent Rockets look locked and loaded for a surge of momentum going into the knockouts. Tom Banton’s fast hands set the tone, especially considering he scored 43 runs against Birmingham Phoenix last time around.

Joe Root’s tempo control and gap-hitting keep the rate moving even when the pitch may not fully be in the batters’ favour. He has back-to-back half-centuries as part of his almost 500 runs in the 100-ball format. Rehan Ahmed adds fearless intent in the middle plus wrist-spin threat with the ball. Max Holden offers clean, left-handed explosivity to upset match-ups.

Tom Moores brings wicketkeeping reliability and the kind of death-hitting which turns modest totals into something sizable. The all-round stability of George Linde and Marcus Stoinis means the Rockets rarely feel one batter away from trouble. The South African and Australian are two men who can hit long and bowl handy overs in the middle. Stoinis has kept chipping away with the ball to claim eight wickets currently.

With David Willey captaining, they’ve got a bowler thinking on the field. Sam Cook’s heavy lengths pair nicely with Lockie Ferguson’s heat at the death. Willey and Cook went under a-run-a-ball against the Phoenix in the previous head-to-head.

Rehan Ahmed’s leg-spin and George Linde’s left-arm orthodox give genuine variety, enabling Willey to dictate momentum through the middle with spin.

Birmingham Phoenix

Birmingham Phoenix is a team built around key individuals. Will Smeed can blow hot and cold with his scores. Ben Duckett’s busy style steadies things to an extent, but he can get bogged down by hard lengths. The left-hander fell for a duck against Trent Rockets previously.

Joe Clarke adds muscle but could come undone against world-class bowling. He limped along to 29 runs, only striking at just over 80, against the Rockets earlier this season. Liam Livingstone has huge pressure on his shoulders as being everything the team needs.

Livingstone is the Birmingham captain, primary finisher and matchup fixer with the ball all at once. With 231 runs and six wickets this campaign, he will have a heavy burden on his back. If he doesn’t fulfil his duties, the middle of Jacob Bethell and Dan Mousley feels exposed against high-class pace and spin. Bethell went for over two runs per ball in his previous bowling performance.

With the ball, the team has been built around a Black Caps core which has only made a handful of momentous efforts together in this format. Trent Boult swings it early but might lose his sting once the swing fades. Adam Milne hits the deck hard but may not be as potent on a pitch where batters can use pace to their advantage.

Both Boult and Milne went wicketless against the Rockets in the first league game against them. Chris Wood is canny but lacks the control of an international bowler. Teams will sit on Benny Howell’s pace-off skills and line up the short straight boundaries.

Liam Patterson-White’s left-arm spin is tidy, yet predictable. He only has one cap in the Men’s Hundred.

TR vs BP Toss Prediction

Both captains should be raring to go with ball in hand first. The previous Rockets vs Phoenix match was won by the Rockets batting second. The Rockets’ previous victory in the tournament came from a tight chase against the Welsh Fire.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

Batting is usually a treat at Trent Bridge, with even bounce and a consistent pace of the wicket. The pacers may have movement off the deck to work with for a brief period with potentially damp conditions leading up to the game. The average first-innings score at the venue of 121 this tournament means that it won’t necessarily be a run-fest.

The weather in Nottingham on matchday is expected to be promising but may be dampened by the 45 percent chance of rain. Temperatures will decrease into the night, but a high level of humidity will still be present.

TR vs BP: Who Will Win?

Both teams bring wins from their previous games to the party. The Phoenix has struggled to string wins together on a consistent basis. By contrast, the Rockets have made some of the best teams of the tournament pay with three wins from their last four games.

Bet on Trent Rockets to win.

TR vs BP win percentage stands at 58% in favor of TR.
