The Hundred Men’s 2024 Match 24 | SOB vs TRT | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Southern Brave will play against Trent Rockets in the 24th game of The Hundred Men’s 2024. Both Southern Brave and Trent Rockets have been in good form.

Southern Brave currently occupy second place in the standings, with four wins and two losses in six matches. The side will hope for another good showing in the upcoming clash. Brave have witnessed a downward graph in their batting performances recently. James Vince scored his 3rd consecutive fifty while the rest of the batting lineup folded cheaply as they finished with 118 runs in their last match at the Kennington Oval. Brave desperately needs some brave performances in this match. Kieron Pollard hasn’t been in his best touch and his role is crucial in the lower middle order as a finisher. The bowling attack is quite promising with Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, and Tymal Mills in the pace attack.

On the other hand, Trent Rockets have played five games in the tournament so far, where the side has won three matches and lost the remaining two. With six points to their name, Rockets will aim to register their fourth win against an in-form Southern Brave. They improved their batting returns in their last game after suffering two consecutive losses. This return to form led them to a 22-run win as they successfully defended 166 runs against the London Spirit. Rashid Khan will be the key bowler for the Rockets. They’ve also got Luke Wood and Imad Wasim who’ve been the match-winners in recent outings. Rockets will pose a tough challenge to the hosts with the ball. There is plenty of strength in the top 5 of this batting lineup and it should be enough to post a big score.
