The Hundred 2024

Match 31: TRT vs OVI

Preview 

Trent Rockets (TRT) and Oval Invincibles (OVI) will lock horns in match 31 of the ongoing edition of the Hundred on August 14, Wednesday at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. Led by Lewis Gregory, TRT has been below par across all three departments in the competition. They began their campaign with two back-to-back wins, but their performance just went from bad to worse since then. Furthermore, Rashid Khan’s recent injury is a huge setback for the hosts, as he was a key man in their setup. In their most recent clash, TRT suffered a six-wicket defeat by Birmingham Phoenix (BPH) courtesy of Tim Southee’s wonderful bowling display. A win against OVI in match 31 will help them bolster their chances among the top four sides in the tournament. 

OVI on the other hand have been scintillating with bat and ball in the competition so far. Led by English wicketkeeper batter Sam Billings, they have emerged triumphant in six out of seven matches to secure the top spot in the league standings. Sam Curran has been their top performer, contributing massively to their success. Dawid Malan and Jordan Cox have also chipped in with crucial runs. In the bowling department, Adam Zampa has been amongst the wickets. He is the leading wicket-taker in this tournament. OVI is coming off four back-to-back wins in the last five matches they have competed in. A win in this match will certainly strengthen their position at the top.
