Prediction
Oval Invincibles have been the best team in the tournament and have form and momentum with them. Their batting and bowling lineups are packed with in-form players, and that makes them a dangerous side to face at present. On the other hand, Trent Rockets have shown glimpses of potential but their batting lacks the consistency to challenge the top teams. Hence, Oval Invincibles are favorites to win this clash.
