• Tom Banton top scored for Trent with 43 runs off 29 deliveries against Birmingham

• Recommended Bet: Tom Banton - Rockets Top Run Scorer

Trent Rockets and Northern Superchargers both made strong starts to their Hundred campaigns and victory for either at Trent Bridge would put them in a commanding qualification position.

The Rockets recorded a six-wicket success at Birmingham Phoenix in their opener, chasing down 122 with 22 to balls to spare, while the Superchargers were eight-wicket victors at home to Welsh Fire, having eased past the required total of 143.

Both outfits have extreme batting power at their disposal but this match-up has been dominated by Trent Rockets, who have won three of the previous four rivalries — the latest of which was an emphatic 47-run success.

Trent opener Tom Banton stole the show on that occasion, firing 66 off 38 balls, and he will be feeling in confident mood following his contribution of 43 runs off 29 deliveries in the recent beating of Birmingham.

Banton has able support from Joe Root, Marcus Stoinis, Max Holden and David Willey, while for the Superchargers, Zak Crawley, Dawid Malan and Harry Brook help form a destructive top order.

Prediction

Banton scored 211 runs from his eight matches in last season’s Hundred and that included a top score of 66 when beating the Superchargers on the road.

The explosive Somerset opener showed himself to be in excellent shape when cracking 43 runs off 29 balls in their opening win over Birmingham, with him finding the boundary with ease and hitting three maximums.

It does not take long for Banton to settle and go through the gears and he could be worth backing to top the Trent runscoring again, especially with fellow opener Root potentially still in Test mode and taking longer to get to grips with the quicker format.
