The Hundred Men’s 2024 Match 04 | NOS vs TRT | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Northern Superchargers will lock horns with Trent Rockets in the fourth game of The Hundred Men’s 2024. Both teams would like to start their campaign on a winning note but the Superchargers would be under extra pressure to put up their best show. In the last season, Superchargers had finished at the bottom of the table, while the Rockets were placed fifth.

After a disappointing season that saw them finish bottom of the table with only two wins, the Northern Superchargers are eager to rebound and improve their performance. Captain Harry Brook will have a task on his hands as he leads the batting unit once again. He is in great form and is fresh off a fluent hundred against the West Indies. The team have bolstered their squad with the inclusion of Matthew Short. England Test captain Ben Stokes is set to make a highly anticipated return to The Hundred. Reece Topley and Adil Rashid were the top wicket-takers for the Superchargers last year and both have been in fine form this year. 

On the other hand, Trent Rockets struggled last season, finishing in the lower half of the table and failing to qualify for the play-offs. They will be looking to better their total of three wins this time. Alex Hales might have retired from international cricket, but he remains one of the most accomplished T20 batters in the world. Although he isn’t as destructive as he used to be, Hales is still in great form. Afghanistan's cricketing talisman, Rashid Khan, is a key player for the team. His exceptional leg spin bowling has made him a sought-after cricketer in T20 leagues worldwide. The team will rely heavily on his match-winning abilities.
