Southern Brave have won three of the last four head-to-heads
Tymal Mills is the highest wicket-taker ever in the Hundred with 48
Recommended bet: Southern Brave to win
Southern Brave were one ball away from winning their first three games of this Hundred season as they were beaten by the Northern Superchargers in a last-ball thriller.
The Superchargers needed five from the final delivery and Graham Clark managed to hit Tymal Mills for six, denying the Southern Brave a third win on the bounce.
Before that the Brave had beaten Manchester Originals and Birmingham Phoenix and look set to challenge for the title they first won in 2021.
They face a tough challenge against Trent Rockets, who have an identical record of two wins and one defeat from their three games after falling to a 21-run loss to London Spirit last time out.
Now the two face off at Trent Bridge in what looks set to be a cracking contest between two of the tournament’s leading protagonists.

Team news
Trent Rockets could field a similar side to the one which has impressed so far this season, with their batting line-up in particular looking strong.
Southern Brave’s bowling attack is their real strength but they may choose to rotate with the games coming thick and fast.
Reece Topley has missed the last two matches but the England left-armer could return in place of either Craig Overton, Jofra Archer or Tymal Mills.

Prediction
Southern Brave have one of the strongest squads in this year’s edition of the Hundred and they are fancied to make it three wins from four when they visit Trent Rockets in the first game of Saturday’s two matches in the men’s tournament.
They came just a ball short of winning three in a row in their last-gasp defeat to the Northern Superchargers last time out and they should be able to put that behind them with another success.
Fourteen wickets fell in the only other game at Trent Bridge this season so bowling attacks could be crucial and the Brave’s looks the stronger.
Stacked with England talent in the shape of Tymal Mills, Craig Overton, Reece Topley and Jofra Archer, the visitors’ quicks could be the difference between this pair.
