Team Previews

Trent Rockets

Trent Rockets started their title defending campaign with a win but lost two matches on the trot following that. However, they managed to come back into winning ways at the right time, beating Welsh Fire away from home in their last outing.

Overall, the Rockets are a very dangerous side on paper with the likes of Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Tom Kohler-Cadmore yet to fire. Once this team starts to execute their plans on the field, it will be a team to beat for the rest in the competition.

The Lewis Gregory-led unit is currently placed third in the points table with five points in the bag. They will be looking to keep their winning momentum going as every game holds a big importance from here to keep them alive in the knockout race.

Manchester Originals

On the other hand, Manchester Originals is having a similar season like that one of the Rockets. They have won two matches and lost two with one game getting abandoned due to rain. As a result, they have five points under their belt and currently placed fifth in the league standings.

Captain Jos Buttler has been the lone warrior with the bat while left-arm seamer Joshua Little has been the best bowler for the men in black. Buttler will be hoping his fellow batters to come better in the rest of the games and contribute more to what can be a much better performance from the Originals.

The Manchester based franchise is yet to win a game against Trent Rockets in the history of the competition having lost all three games they played against them till date, including the final last year. Can the Originals get their first win against the Rockets?
