TR vs SB Team Previews

Trent Rockets

The Rockets still look awkwardly balanced with numerous bowling all-rounders coming in higher up the batting order. David Willey takes over the captaincy, but that also leaves them leaning on a 35-year-old new-ball all-rounder for both leadership and impact overs.

There’s star quality in Joe Root and Marcus Stoinis, yet the top six of Tom Banton, Root, Stoinis, Tom Alsop, Max Holden and Adam Hose can skew the perception as a touch “accumulator heavy”. The team risks slow starts if Banton doesn’t fly out of the blocks and if the bowling all-rounders eat into batting slots. As a batting unit, the Rockets has only scored 141 for six as its highest score this season. The batting struggled against the London Spirit, with only two batters reaching double digits.

Rehan Ahmed’s leg-spin offers a point of difference. West Indian Akeal Hosein is more of a controlled left-armer than a boom-or-bust strike option. The Trent Rockets may struggle to manufacture middle-overs wickets on flat Trent Bridge nights. Ahmed was dismissed for a duck in his previous innings, while also only taking one wicket.

Hosein failed with the ball in his previous match after going wicketless.

The pace unit has bite with Lockie Ferguson’s speed plus Sam Cook’s accuracy. The death still feels fragile if Willey’s quota is burned early or if conditions don’t suit swing. In short, the Rockets have plenty of good cricketers but not many natural tempo-setters.

If Root or Stoinis don’t stitch the innings together and Ferguson doesn’t hit rhythm, the margins tighten quickly. The bowling unit would’ve been rattled by Willey, Cook and Ferguson all going for 1.80 runs per ball or more in their previous innings.

Southern Brave

Southern Brave look loaded and nicely tuned for the format. James Vince remains the calm captain at the helm. He has averaged almost 50 in his past ten Men’s Hundred games, while striking at over 140. The powerplay threat is real with Leus du Plooy and Jason Roy also there.

The opening batting partnership against the Rockets in 2024 was worth 43 runs. The top three’s metronomic scoring sets the tempo. Du Plooy’s left-hand stability and Laurie Evans’ range at the death round out a batting unit that shouldn’t need to overreach. Michael Bracewell’s smarts as a spin-bowling all-rounder give them a middle-overs gear shift.

With the ball, it’s a fast-forward highlight reel. Jofra Archer has come back purring and already decided games with pace and hostility. The pacer took two wickets and went for under one run per ball against the Rockets in 2024. Tymal Mills offers left-arm variation and death expertise. He averages two wickets per game in his past ten Men’s Hundred matches.

Chris Jordan’s experience ties the phases together. Craig Overton’s hard lengths and Hilton Cartwright’s utility overs add glue and flexibility for captain Vince. Emerging batter James Coles gives them a handy batting option in the middle.

The Brave has match-winners in every phase and a captain who rarely wastes a platform. If the top-order batting fires early and the English pace pair of Archer and Mills owns the back end, they’re built to boss tight finishes and stack wins.
