Trent Rockets (TRT) take on Northern Superchargers (NOS) at Trent Bridge in match 7 of the Hundred tournament. Both franchises suffered mixed fortunes in their tournament opener as Trent Rockets crushed Southern Brave by nine wickets, while Northern Superchargers suffered a final-over defeat against Welsh Fire.
Team News
Trent Rockets are likely to retain the same playing eleven that eased past Southern Brave on Saturday. Alex Hales will be keen to bounce back after being dismissed for naught against Southern Brave. He has a strike rate of 190 at Trent Bridge Ground in Vitality Blast 2021, while all-rounder Steven Mullaney had struck a 17-ball 43* in his last outing at the same venue.
Faf du Plessis remains sidelined, and Ben Stokes will continue to wear the captain’s armband for the Leeds-based side. The 37-year-old, who missed the first match, was advised to skip the first three games after suffering repeated concussions. Northern Superchargers have signed Dane Vilas as a temporary replacement.
The focus will be on Harry Brook, who played a magnificent knock of 62 off 31 balls against Welsh Fire. But he lacked support from the top-order, which folded cheaply at Headingley. Also, the bowling unit, which gave away 173 runs in the tournament opener, will face a stern test tonight.
