The Trent Rockets will lock horns against the Birmingham Phoenix in the 25th match of the Men’s Hundred 2023 Competition. Trent Bridge in Nottingham will be hosting this contest on Saturday, August 19.

The Trent Rockets are placed in the middle of the points table. They have managed to win only two games out of six and have just five points to their name. After losing to the Manchester Originals in their last game, they will be hoping to get back to winning ways.

Daniel Sams and Lewis Gregory grabbed two wickets each but the other bowlers went on a journey as the Originals posted 181 on the board. Tom Kohler-Cadmore played a very good knock of 64 off 42 balls but it wasn’t enough as they finished their innings 10 short of the target.

The Birmingham Phoenix, on the other hand, are coming off a loss in their last game against the Southern Brave. They are languishing at the bottom of the table after managing to win only a single so far. They will be hoping to get a win on Saturday and keep their finals hopes alive.

Phoenix batted first but their batters faltered as they never got going and managed to score only 119 in their 100 balls for the loss of eight wickets. The bowlers then picked up six wickets but failed to defend the total as Brave chased it down with five balls to spare.
