The Men's Hundred 2023

Match 25: TR vs BP

Preview 

Birmingham Phoenix (BP) and Trent Rockets (TR) square off in match number 25 of The Hundred Men’s tournament at Trent Bridge on Saturday, August 19. 

Lewis Gregory led TR are currently positioned fifth in the points table with two wins and three losses. Incessant rain interruptions called off one of their scheduled fixtures. Rockets will look to improve and secure a better spot before the tournament reaches its business end. 

BP on the other hand have only managed to win just one out of their four matches. They are presently languishing at the bottom of the points table. With slim chances of making it to the subsequent round, the Birmingham based franchise should now set their sights on deranging the plans of other competing teams moving forward.   

Ahead of this exciting clash, let us have a look at how the two teams will fare out on Saturday.

Match Prediction

Nothing much has gone in BP’s favour this season so far. With only one, they are tottering at the bottom of the table. TR on the other hand had a mixed season, with 2 wins and 3 losses. Rockets are the stronger side on paper, but we’ve got a feeling BP will secure a victory out of nowhere. We predict the visitors to win this encounter.
