MatchesTRENT ROCKETS WONLONDON SPIRIT WONNo Results3300 VENUE AND PITCH

Nottingham’s Trent Bridge has been a relatively high-scoring ground in this year’s edition of the tournament so far. After low-scoring matches recently, batters on both sides will be looking forward to a pitch with more runs on offer. In the Hundred, Trent Bridge has an average first innings score of 128 and second innings of 121. In 14 matches, teams batting first and second have an even split of 7 wins each.

MATCH PREDICTION

While Trent Rockets have dominated the head-to-head between these two teams, they have been off-colour this tournament so far. London Spirit possess the batting to take the game away from the Rockets, and should be expected to do so as they return to winning ways. They should be seen as 70% favourites to win this match.
