Team News
The Rockets made three changes to the team that lost to the London Spirit for the win over Southern Brave, with Tom Moores, Calvin Harrison and Callum Parkinson replacing Tom Alsop, Akeal Hosein and Sam Cook.
Moores is expected to keep his spot after an important knock of 55 from 30 balls helped his side chase 141 down against the Brave with relative ease. Harrison and Parkinson’s spots are less assured, with the latter most likely to retain his spot.
Parkinson was not needed to bat but did bowl his full allocation of 20, taking one wicket in the process and conceding just 29 runs with eight dot balls.
Harrison, on the other hand, only bowled 10 deliveries, conceding 19 runs and going wicketless. Sam Cook may be brought back in at his expense.
The Originals are unlikely to change their winning team after thrashing the Superchargers by 57 runs last time out.
The stats
The Originals recorded just one win in the 2024 Hundred but they have already bettered that display this year, having picked up two victories.
Trent Rockets, champions in 2022, have won three of their opening four games and are well-placed to finish in the top three for the first time since they lifted the trophy.
The Rockets have won four matches in a row at Trent Bridge, a record which spans back to the 2024 campaign.
Buttler is Manchester’s top run scorer in the 2025 Hundred, amassing 189 runs in five innings at an average of 47.25.
Prediction
One player who heads into the match in top form is Manchester star Buttler, who hit a scintillating 64 off 45 balls against the Northern Superchargers last time out.
The former England captain comes in at number three for the Originals and goes hard from the first ball.
With Tuesday’s contest at Trent Bridge, where the boundaries are notoriously short, a firing Buttler can clear the ropes with ease and outscore his teammates once more.
It may not be enough to pick up the win for Manchester, given the form of the Rockets, but Buttler can still give the travelling support something to cheer about.
