Trent Rockets will take on Southern Brave in the third match of the ongoing The Hundred Men’s 2021 tournament at Trent Bridge, Nottingham on Saturday.
Trent Rockets have one of the most exciting squads in the competition, boasting the likes of Alex Hales, Lewis Gregory, Dawid Malan, Joe Root and Rashid Khan. Add to that the experience of Luke Wright and Samit Patel, the Rockets have a well-rounded unit with an envious top order.
Lewis Gregory, Rashid Khan, Samit Patel and Ben Cox will take up finishing duties. Rashid Khan will be the spearhead of the Rockets bowling attack and will be well supported by Marchant de Lange, Samit Patel and Sam Cook. The Rockets have loads of bowling options and are a very well-rounded team.
Meanwhile, Southern Brave will depend on Jofra Archer’s fitness and how the England pacer returns to full-fledged action after surgery. Like the Rockets, they have a set top order, with Devon Conway and Quinton de Kock drafted in along with Hampshire ace James Vince.
With Andre Russell and Liam Dawson to add finishing touches to the innings, the Braves boast a balanced batting line-up with the likes of Craig Overton adding depth. The bowling line-up will be led by Chris Jordan and T20 specialist Tymal Mills, while Southern Brave also boast options like Danny Briggs and George Garton in their ranks.
