Two teams looking to bounce back from opening defeats in the Hundred clash at Trent Bridge on Sunday, when the Trent Rockets Men host London Spirit Men.
The Spirit failed to chase down the 139 runs required to beat Manchester Super Giants in their opening match, losing by seven runs, while the Rockets were involved in a high-scoring defeat to Birmingham Phoenix.
Both sides will be eager to put the disappointment of those losses behind them when they clash in Nottinghamshire.

Alternative Bet - Ben Duckett to score 2+ sixes @ 2/1
Bet Builder - Adam Zampa to take 1+ wicket, Liam Livingstone 3+ sixes & Finn Allen 20+ runs @ 11/2
Trent Rockets Men v London Spirit Men Prediction
Best Bet: Trent Rockets to win @ 8/11
Although Trent Rockets started off their Hundred campaign with a defeat to the Phoenix, there were more positives to take from that loss than there were from London Spirit's opener against the Super Giants.
It may have been a tough time for the Rockets' bowlers against Birmingham, who posted the second-highest score in Hundred history with 214-4, but Trent put in a valiant effort in their pursuit and fell short by just 10 runs.
Ben Duckett (49), Finn Allen (43) and Tom Banton (67) all impressed with the bat, and had there been a little more support from the likes of Tim David and Sam Billings, then they could have successfully chased down the target.
As for the Spirit, they failed to chase down a fairly modest 139 target in defeat to Manchester and had it not been for the fireworks of Liam Livingstone, who made 69 off 40 balls, the loss could have been a lot worse.
The bowling department is London's strongest area, as they have the likes of David Willey, Adam Milne, Adam Zampa, Tymal Mills and Jamie Overton to call upon, but they appear to be lacking strength in depth in the batting.
Trent have defeated London in three of the last four meetings, with two of those wins coming at Trent Bridge, and the Rockets look to have the quality to come out on top.
Alternative Bet: Ben Duckett to score 2+ sixes @ 2/1
Duckett continued his impressive run of form in the Rockets' defeat to Birmingham, as he smashed six fours and two sixes in a knock of 49 from just 25 balls.
That display follows on from his sublime 141 for England against India in the recent ODI series, in which he found the boundary rope 18 times and cleared it once.
Duckett also scored 43 in the opener of that three-match one-day series, hitting six fours and two sixes, and his strong limited-overs displays suggest he can hit at least two maximums against the Spirit.
Trent Rockets Men v London Spirit Men Bet Builder Tip
Adam Zampa to take 1+ wicket
Liam Livingstone 3+ sixes
Finn Allen 20+ runs
Pays 11/2
Australia spinner Adam Zampa took 2-27 in London's defeat to the Manchester Super Giants, meaning he has taken at least one wicket in five of his last six appearances across the domestic and international scenes.
Liam Livingstone smashed five sixes in his knock of 69 in defeat to the Super Giants and he has cleared the rope at least three times in four of his last seven T20 matches.
Finn Allen made 43 runs from 17 balls in the defeat to Birmingham and he looks capable of reaching at least 20 runs on Sunday, something he has achieved in five of his last six Hundred matches.
