Trent Rockets vs Birmingham Phoenix Toss Prediction
Trent Rockets are predicted to win the toss and elect to bat first. Trent Bridge is a batting-friendly venue that tends to play well from the outset, and Sam Billings will back his top order, led by Ben Duckett and Aneurin Donald, to post a commanding total. With Birmingham struggling for form, a strong first-innings score puts maximum pressure on a side low on confidence.
Trent Bridge Pitch Report
Trent Bridge, Nottingham
Trent Bridge is one of the more batting-friendly grounds in English cricket, with a true, even-paced surface that allows the ball to come on nicely for stroke-play. Boundaries are generally generous here, and scores in the 150–165 range are typical for The Hundred format. This TR vs BP pitch battle will suit batters who play straight and favour the drive, key intelligence for fantasy cricket tips selection tonight.
Weather Report
Nottingham in August is typical English late-summer fare, temperatures around 16–19°C for a late-evening fixture, with cloud cover likely. Dew is not a major factor at Trent Bridge the way it is in South Asian venues, so both innings should play under broadly similar conditions. Rain is the main wildcard and worth tracking before the match, though late-night games at this venue have generally gone ahead without major interruptions.

Trent Rockets vs Birmingham Phoenix Team Preview & Squads
Trent Rockets
Sam Billings has Trent Rockets firing on all cylinders, guiding them to four consecutive wins that have cemented their place atop the table. His leadership brings a calm, assured quality, Billings knows when to anchor, when to accelerate, and how to rotate a bowling attack to keep opposition batters permanently off balance throughout 100 balls.
Ben Duckett is the batting talisman here, his 64 off 47 against Sunrisers Leeds earned him Player of the Match and exemplifies the kind of authoritative innings that Rockets need at the top. Aneurin Donald is the predicted star tonight as both top run-scorer and six-hitter, while Tim David and Finn Allen provide devastating lower-order power. This Trent Rockets squad has batting depth that most sides in The Hundred would envy.
Mohammad Amir leads the bowling attack and is the predicted top wicket-taker, offering genuine swing and pace at the top of the innings that can rattle any opening pair. Mitchell Santner brings left-arm spin variation in the middle phase, while Craig Overton and Matt Henry add reliable seam options, giving Billings a well-stocked playing XI that can defend totals with confidence at Trent Bridge.
Trent Rockets Squad:
Trent Rockets
Sam Billings, Finn Allen, Tom Banton, Danny Briggs, Brad Currie, Tim David, Aneurin Donald, Ben Duckett, Lewis Gregory, Calvin Harrison, Matt Henry, Louis Kimber, Ben Mayes, Mohammad Amir, Dan Mousley, Craig Overton, Ben Raine, Ben Sanderson, Mitchell Santner
Birmingham Phoenix
Donovan Ferreira captains a Birmingham Phoenix side that finds itself in freefall, four losses from the last five matches have left them fighting for tournament survival. He is a captain who leads with aggression and plays his natural game without overthinking, which is probably the right mentality for a side that needs wins more than it needs tactical novelty right now.
Joe Clarke is the batting linchpin for Phoenix and their best hope of posting a competitive total tonight. Tipped as the top run-scorer and six-hitter, Clarke has the power and timing to hurt any attack in the opening 25 balls. Mitchell Owen’s all-round contribution and Will Smeed’s aggressive approach at the top of the order give Ferreira batting options, but this TR vs BP preview highlights a batting lineup that has lacked consistency throughout the tournament.
Chris Wood leads the Phoenix bowling attack and is the predicted top wicket-taker, his left-arm swing can be highly effective in English conditions, making him a strong fantasy cricket pick for tonight. Saqib Mahmood adds genuine pace, while Rehan Ahmed’s leg-spin gives Phoenix a spin dimension. Tom Helm and Ben Dwarshuis round out a serviceable attack, but they will need to find early breakthroughs to have any chance of containing Rockets’ dangerous top order.
Birmingham Phoenix Squad:
Birmingham Phoenix
Donovan Ferreira, Ethan Brookes, Joe Clarke, Scott Currie, Sean Dickson, Ben Dwarshuis, Laurie Evans, Tom Helm, Saqib Mahmood, Matthew Montgomery, Mitchell Owen, Rehan Ahmed, Will Smeed, Jordan Thompson, Usman Tariq, Joe Weatherley, Chris Wood
