Trent Rockets Men v Manchester Super Giants Men Prediction
Best Bet: Trent Rockets Men to win @ 4/5
Manchester Super Giants came through Friday's play-off Eliminator clash with Sunrisers Leeds at The Oval but history is not on their side in The Hundred final.
Trent Rockets have won six of the seven previous meetings between the teams, including a comfortable six-wicket victory at Old Trafford this season.
Finishing top of the table earned them a break before the final while Manchester had to negotiate two must-win matches against the Sunrisers.
The Super Giants have coped well with a change of captaincy after Aiden Markram returned to South Africa.
However, the Rockets have great depth with bat and ball, thanks to all-rounders Mitchell Santner, Lewis Gregory and Craig Overton.
Opener Finn Allen thumped an unbeaten 72 from 35 balls in the league win over Manchester and the Rockets can frank that form in the final.
Alternative Bet: Josh Tongue - Top Manchester Super Giants Men Bowler @ 7/2
Fast bowler Josh Tongue is having a busy summer, playing all three formats for England and reaching The Hundred final with the Super Giants.
He had a terrific 2025 campaign in this competition, picking up 14 wickets in just six matches.
This season had been quieter for the paceman but he burst into life with 4-26 in the Eliminator victory over the Sunrisers.
Tongue's victims at The Oval included England internationals Zak Crawley and Dan Lawrence as well as Australia's T20 captain Mitchell Marsh, this summer's leading runscorer in The Hundred.
He has picked up 15 wickets in three Test appearances at Lord's and looks a good bet to be the top Manchester bowler on Sunday.
