Trent Rockets Men v Sunrisers Leeds Men Prediction
Best Bet: Trent Rockets to win @ 4/5
Trent Rockets have started positively in this year’s edition of The Hundred and they may be too strong for Sunrisers Leeds when the pair meet at Trent Bridge.
The Rockets started with a narrow loss to Birmingham Phoenix but since then have recorded three wins on the bounce against London Spirit, Welsh Fire and Manchester Super Giants.
Their power-packed batting order has been crucial to that, with opening pair Ben Duckett and Finn Allen in particular catching the eye.
The pair have combined for 324 runs in four games and they could overwhelm a Sunrisers Leeds bowling attack which have allowed totals of at least 180 in their last two games.
The visitors have a solid batting lineup themselves but it could be their bowlers who let them down, side with the Rockets to make it four wins from five games.
Alternative Bet: Highest individual score over 60.5 @ 5/6
With two of the best batting lineups in The Hundred, expect a high score of over 61 in this clash at Trent Bridge.
This surface has been more friendly to batters this summer. England put up a total of 201 here in a T20 against India earlier this summer, with Phil Salt making 70.
Before Saturday’s games, four of the top seven scorers in this year’s edition of The Hundred featured in these two lineups. Ben Duckett, Finn Allen, Mitch Marsh and Tom Banton are just some of the star batters in the two teams and a high score of 61 looks very attainable amongst such elite players.
Trent Rockets Men v Sunrisers Leeds Men Bet Builder Tip
Matt Henry top Trent Rockets bowler
Tom Banton over 19.5 runs
A fifty to be scored
Pays 15/2
Matt Henry struggled for Trent Rockets in his opening game but has since bounced back with three wickets in three games and the New Zealander’s quality should be integral to his team’s success. He is fancied to be the hosts’ top bowler.
Tom Banton has been impressive this season, with 130 runs from four games, and he can go over 20 in this game.
Considering the batting talent on both teams, a player to make a 50 looks very achievable.
