TRT vs BPH 31st Match Preview and Team Analysis
Trent Rockets
Trent Rockets have already secured a knockout spot but need this win to finish at the top of the table. Their batting, however, relies heavily on Joe Root, who has scored back-to-back fifties. The rest of the top order, including Tom Banton and Max Holden, must contribute to avoid collapses.
Marcus Stoinis is key with both bat and ball, and David Willey’s all-round role is crucial. The bowling attack featuring Willey, Sam Cook, and Lockie Ferguson has been excellent, especially at home where the Rockets have won all three games while bowling first.
Key Players: Joe Root, Marcus Stoinis, David Willey
Predicted XI (TRT):
Joe Root, Max Holden, Tom Banton, David Willey (c), Marcus Stoinis, Tom Moores (wk), Rehan Ahmed, George Linde, Sam Hain, Sam Cook, Lockie Ferguson
Birmingham Phoenix
Birmingham Phoenix are out of knockout contention, but arrive in form with 2 wins from their last 3 games. Skipper Liam Livingstone has led well with both bat and ball, while Ben Duckett and Joe Clarke look in solid touch.
The bowling is their biggest strength with Trent Boult, Chris Wood, and Adam Milne leading the pace attack, supported by Liam Patterson-White’s left-arm spin. Their preference to chase has worked, and they’ll look to continue that strategy.
Key Players: Liam Livingstone, Ben Duckett, Trent Boult
Predicted XI (BPH):
Will Smeed, Ben Duckett, Joe Clarke (wk), Liam Livingstone (c), Jacob Bethell, Dan Mousley, Liam Patterson-White, Benny Howell, Chris Wood, Adam Milne, Trent Boult
