The Hundred Men’s 2024 Match 09 | TRT vs BPH | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Trent Rockets will lock horns with Birmingham Phoenix in the ninth game of The Hundred Men’s 2024. Trent Rockets have won both their games so far and are at the second spot on the table. Birmingham Phoenix have won one game and lost one and are in fifth place. 

Trent Rockets started their season with a comprehensive 47-run win against Northern Superchargers. They followed it up with a thrilling one-run win against Manchester Originals. The Rockets have a power-packed batting lineup with immense depth. With the likes of Tom Banton, Alex Hales, Sam Hain, Rovman Powell, and Adam Lyth forming the top and middle order, they can take any bowling attack apart on their day. In bowling, Rashid Khan has finished his duties with Major League Cricket and has resumed his services for the Rockets in the Hundred. He will make Trent Rockets' side much stronger.

On the other hand, Birmingham Phoenix started their season with a loss against Oval Invincibles but came back strongly in their next match versus London Spirit to register a 3-wicket win. Set a target of 128, Birmingham reached there with just one ball to spare. Dan Mousley and Jacob Bethell were the stars of the chase. Sean Abbott's match-winning spell of 4/14 helped the side secure their first win of the competition. Meanwhile Southee has a wealth of experience and is an ideal bowler in these conditions. The other bowlers, unfortunately, have been a little erratic and need to pull up their socks.

Prediction

Trent Rockets look very strong in all departments. They have most bases covered, and their batting depth, in particular, is intimidating. Birmingham Phoenix are looking good too, but they have a few chinks in both their batting and bowling. Playing at home, the Rockets will certainly have the advantage and hence Trent Rockets are favorites to win this clash.
