Date | 1st August |
Time | 11:00 PM IST, 5:30 PM GMT, 6:30 AM Local Time |
Venue | Trent Bridge, Nottingham |
Trent Rockets are the defending champions and will be looking for a winning start. The team will be led by Lewis Gregory, who led Somerset to the T20 Blast title recently. The team also have the services of Alex Hales, Joe Root, and Daniel Sams among others.
Southern Brave, on the other hand, could only manage to win three out of the eight games last season. Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Tim David, and Tymal Mills are the key members of the side.
The pitch will be favourable for high-scoring games. We saw in T20 Blast as well that the wickets were flat and tailormade for batters. Once again, a batting deck is expected.
It will be a clear day with a slight cloud cover. The temperature will range between 23 and 13 degrees.
Dawid Malan, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Tom Kohler-Cadmore (wk), Colin Munro, Sam Hain, Lewis Gregory (c), Matthew Carter, Samit Patel, Daniel Sams, Luke Wood
James Vince (c), Devon Conway, Finn Allen, Alex Davies (wk), Leus du Plooy, Rehan Ahmed, Tim David, George Garton, Chris Jordan, Craig Overton, Tymal Mills
There are doubts about the availability of Alex Hales and Colin Munro as they are part of the Global T20 Canada. Since there is no clear update, we assume that players will prefer Hundred, just like Shakib Al Hasan preferred Lanka Premier League.
The teams have met on three occasions, with Southern Brave winning two and Trent Rockets winning one.

Hales’ last few performances have not been great but the batter comes with a repo of a match-winner in this format of the game. Hales will be eyeing a good start to the Hundred which will set him up for a big tournament.
The Southern Brave captain was in fine form in the recently concluded T20 Blast and scored 670 runs in 16 games. If Vince can continue the same form in the Hundred, Brave will be in with a great chance.
Dawid Malan is also a match-winner in the shorter formats. Malan comes into a tournament on the back of a stunning season of T20 Blast which saw him score 546 runs in just 13 games. Malan will be eyeing a strong start to the tournament.
Lewis Gregory will be vital for Trent Rockets owing to his all-round skills. He is a very handy batter down the order and a good pacer who can bowl with new ball as well as at the death.
With 419 runs and 25 wickets, Daniel Sams had a brilliant run in the T20 Blast and the all-rounder will be looking to make a similar impact in the Hundred.
