The Hundred Men’s 2024 Match 20 | TRT vs LNS | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Trent Rockets will take on London Spirit in the 20th game of The Hundred Men’s 2024. With Rockets in fourth place in the Men's Hundred, and Spirit down in seventh but only two points behind, both sides will have highlighted this fixture as a winnable one.

Trent Rockets have slipped to fourth position after back-to-back losses against Birmingham Phoenix and Welsh Fire by six and four runs respectively. They have two wins and as many losses in four games and have a healthy NRR of positive 0.475. There is so much batting power in Rockets' line up that any of the top eight could conceivably end the innings as their top scorer. There is power and clean hitting at the top of the order from Tom Banton and Alex Hales with the touch play of Joe Root and Sam Hain following after. In the middle order they have the strength of Rovman Powell paired with Rashid Khan. Lewis Gregory, Rashid and Jordan Thompson were the only non-wicket takers for the Rockets last time out but all three are potential match winners with the ball in this format.

On the other hand, London Spirit managed just one win in their four outings and are reeling at the seventh spot in the points table. They suffered a 30-run loss against Oval Invincibles in their last game. They are in desperate need of a win and a negative NRR of 0.409 is not helping them either. It was a disappointing batting performance at Lord's for London Spirit in their derby game against Oval Invincibles on Sunday as they were dismissed from 95 balls when chasing 148 for victory. In this game, they will be looking to the quad from three to six which encompasses Ollie Pope, skipper Dan Lawrence, Shimron Hetmyer and Andre Russell, to contribute the bulk of the runs. With the ball, Olly Stone will be celebrating his recent return to England's Test squad and spinner Liam Dawson tends to be a threat on any surface.
