The Trent Rockets are going from strength to strength and proved once more against the London Spirit why so many pundits are tipping them for the inaugural Hundred title. With the likes of Samit Patel and Matthew Carter picking up regular wickets and Australian D’arcy Short smashing balls here there and everywhere (2 fifties in 3 innings) its easy to see why they can indeed go onto be successful.
Birmingham Phoenix vs Trent Rockets Match Prediction
The Phoenix are coming up against a string Rockets side at precisely the wrong time. There couldn’t be two more contrasting sides and with the Trent Rockets looking solid in both batting and bowling departments this could be a very tough match for the men from Birmingham.
If the Phoenix are going to get anything they need to try and dominate more in the power play. In their previous match against the Southern Brave they managed just 27 from 25 balls which proved to be their downfall. They simply cannot perform like this and expect to pick up results.
The Trent Rockets are looking good and sit top of the standings with some impressive performances. They just need to continue their solid work and they should find the result against the Phoenix.
We can see the Trent Rockets powering on to yet another victory.

Birmingham Phoenix suffered yet another loss against the Southern Brave, but can they find any positives from their performance? In short yes they probably can. They ultimately lost by 4 wickets but we think they lacked batting composure and could quite easily have gone onto win if they had been braver. They have the players to really find a result. However we fear that they might be too easily dominated in their match against the Trent Rockets.
