The Hundred | Eliminator, Southern Brave vs Trent Rockets: When & where to watch Live, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

Onecricket

It has been a fascinating introduction to a new format of cricket and as we get into the final few days of the Hundred, we should be thankful for the spectacle it has been for the fans across the globe. After a one month extravaganza, it’s the Southern Brave who will be playing the Trent Rockets in the Eliminator on Friday (August 20). 


Having started the tournament with a couple of losses, the Southern Brave has made an exceptional turnaround and is yet to lose a game as they face the  Trent Rockets in the Eliminator clash. 


James Vince has been an inspirational character for the team after two losses in the first two games. They thrashed the Oval Invincibles by 6 wickets to ensure a smooth entry into the knockout stage, on the other hand, the Trent Rockets started off the tournament in a commanding fashion having won all of their first three matches. 


However, a couple of consecutive losses meant that their qualification became a touch of concern. in later stages, they picked themselves up. It was a commanding performance in their final group game against the Manchester Originals which made sure that they qualified for the Eliminator with 10 points. A loss would have ensured qualification for the Oval Invincibles.

Pitch Report

It is expected to be a batting paradise like it has been during the course of the tournament. An average first innings score of 151 goes onto prove that it has been a bowler’s graveyard as far as this tournament is concerned. While chasing a target is always a good option in T20 cricket, batting first could be the way forward in the only knockout match of the tournament. 

Weather forecast 

It will be proper overcast conditions when the eliminator clash kicks off. However, there is hardly any chance of rain with the temperature expected to hover around the 21-degree mark. Like it has been the case in England, the humidity will be as low as the early 60s. 

Southern Brave predicted XI: 

Quinton de Kock (wk), Paul Stirling, James Vince (c), Alex Davies, Colin de Grandhomme, Ross Whiteley, George Garton, Chris Jordan, Danny Briggs, Tymal Mills, Jake Lintott

Trent Rockets predicted XI: 

D Arcy Short, Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Steven Mullaney, Samit Patel, Lewis Gregory (c), Tom Moores (w), Rashid Khan, Matthew Carter, Marchant de Lange, Samuel Cook

Jos Inglis gets reward for his consistent performances, Ricky Ponting and George Bailey hails him

Young Australian batsman Jos Inglis has been in stupendous form off late and got rewarded for his consistency after being named in the Australian squad for the very first time in his career for the upcoming T20 World Cup slated to be in UAE and Oman. Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting has lauded Inglis on his stupendous run off late and said he has been scoring runs for fun and deserved his place in the side. The mega event will also mark the return of skipper Aaron Finch and Steve Smith. Ponting feels that despite the battering they received at the hands of West Indies and Bangladesh, Australia stands a realistic chance of winning their first ever T20 World Cup. "Awesome to see Inglis get his opportunity in the squad, he's been scoring runs for fun and if Ellis is called on it's a great story for how far he's come since moving to Tassie. Overall, it's a brilliant squad of players that I think are capable of winning the World Cup," Ponting tweeted. Inglis who plied his trade for Leicestershire in the Vitality T20 Blast scored 531 runs in the tournament at a staggering strike rate of 175.82 and an impressive average of 48.27. Inglis is currently plying his trade in the Hundred and has already scored two half-centuries for the London Spirits. In the previous edition of the Big Bash League, Inglis scored 413 runs in 16 innings which included an unbeaten match-winning 72. Meanwhile recently appointed chairman of selectors George Bailey hailed Inglis for his talent and that he has been on the radar of the national team for quite some time now. "Josh has been on our radar for some time with his performances in white-ball cricket and more recently in the Vitality Blast where he topped the run charts. He offers the squad flexibility in the batting order with his adaptability, counterattacking ability and power striking. He is a player we are excited about for the future," Bailey had said.

Brendan Taylor, Craig Ervine and Sean Williams return for Ireland and Scotland tour

Zimbabwe will be bolstered by the return of three of their experienced players in the form of Brendan Taylor, Sean Williams and Craig Ervine for the upcoming tour of Ireland and Scotland. Zimbabwe is slated to play five T20Is and three ODIs against England started from 27th August before they travel to Scotland for a three-match T20I series kicking off from 15th September. Taylor who is currently the best batsman in the team was rested for the home T20I series against Bangladesh. Meanwhile, the likes of Craig Ervine and Sean Williams was forced to miss the full series comprising of a one-off Test, three ODIs and three T20Is after coming in close contact with a person who contracted COVID-19. The selectors have decided to retain the rest of their fifteen members who played against Bangladesh. It must also be noted that the three ODIs against Ireland will be part of the ICC ODI Super League. Zimbabwe is currently languishing at the bottom of the points table with just a solitary win from six outings. Zimbabwe needs to start winning on a more consistent basis to harbour hopes of qualifying for the 2023 ODI World Cup. They will be highly reliant on the services of Wesley Madhevere who was the highest run-scorer for them in the Bangladesh series amassing 150 runs in three outings. His knock of 73 played a pivotal role in ensuring that Zimbabwe won their only match of the tour. Meanwhile, the bowling department looks sorted with the likes of Blessing Muzarabani leading the attack. Full Squad: Ryan Burl, Regis Chakabva, Tendai Chatara, Craig Ervine, Luke Jongwe, Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, Wessely Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Wellington Masakadza, Tarisai Musakanda, Blessing Muzarabani, Dion Myers, Richard Ngarava, Sikandar Raza, Milton Shumba, Brendan Taylor, Sean Williams, Donald Tiripano.

Lea Tahuhu named in New Zealand squad for England tour after surviving cancer scare

New Zealand women’s fast bowler Lea Tahuhu overcame a cancer scare to be named in the squad which is currently touring England. She had to remove the potentially dangerous mole via three-foot surgeries in order to make it to the squad. She had discovered the mole on her left foot when it was in a pre-cancerous stage. She shared an Instagram post where she mentioned her surgery and skin graft back in July. "It got me to some low places. It was such a shock, all of it," she told Newsroom on Thursday. "It [the mole] had been there for 18 months. It looked fine to start with and then it started growing slightly bigger and changed colour," Tahuhu said. "I had the mole taken off, and all went well at that point. There's not a lot of skin on the top of your foot that you can actually pull together, so it was left a bit open." Further tests revealed that the wound could have been more serious than expected. "That morning then changed drastically, because it's not often you get words such as 'melanoma' and 'skin cancer' thrown at you, that you certainly weren't expecting," Tahuhu said. "I sat there like a stunned mullet." "What was supposed to be one local surgery and two weeks recovery, ended up being three surgeries and eight weeks later," she said. Tahuhu motivated herself during her time in the hospital hoping to play in the England tour. "There were a few days where I thought, 'How am I going to put ten times my body weight through my foot when I bowl? When at the moment I've just got a hole on the side of it.' But then I thought, 'No, I'm determined to get on that plane', and I'm pretty diligent with what I have to get done to reach goals,” she said. She is currently trying to get back to full fitness with the national team in Derby. She stated that she is careful as she tries to make a return to international cricket after a scare. The tour comprising of three T20Is and five ODIs will be played from September 1-26. The White Ferns, who are without star all-rounder Amelia Kerr, will play begin their tour with three T20Is from September 1-9 followed by five ODIs from September 16-26.

Ravichandran Ashwin divulges details of Bumrah-Anderson banter at Lord's

Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah had a heated moment with James Anderson during the fag end of the 2nd day’s play of the Lord’s Test after Bumrah started bowling a barrage of short deliveries directed at Anderson. Being a No 11 batsman, Anderson was at sea and could hardly tackle the short barrage of Bumrah. The speedster had also bowled four no-balls during the at course of the particular over. He bowled four short deliveries, followed by a yorker and then again returned to the short stuff. Anderson was eventually dismissed on the final delivery of the day by Mohammed Shami. Anderson was not happy with Bumrah’s short stuff and looked cringy while walking off the field. In a recent episode on Ravichandran Ashwin’s youtube channel, the spinner divulged what really happened during the whole incident during an interaction with Indian fielding coach R Sridhar. “The beauty about that is, looks like Jimmy had told Boom, “all these while, you were bowling in the 80 mphs, suddenly on seeing me, why are you bowling at 90 mph? “ “So, after the innings, the boys were walking back to the dressing room. Then Bumrah walked past Jimmy and just patted at him. So as to tell him that it wasn’t intentional.” We all know Bumrah. He is such a nice guy. So he had gone to talk to him and end the matter, but Jimmy brushed him aside. Brushing him aside, he has told him “You bowl only 85 mph to the other batters, you are bowling 90 mph to me. This is cheating. I won’t accept,” Ashwin said. When Bumrah came out to bat in the second innings with England well on top, the English players went with the emotion and instead of attacking the stumps and trying to take Bumrah’s wicket, they kept bowling short which actually played into the hands of Indian tail-enders. After surviving a couple of hits on the helmet, Bumrah didn’t back away and took on the challenge and went onto score an unbeaten 34 and shared an unbeaten 89 runs stand with Mohammed Shami which ensured India went into the final two sessions with a realistic chance of winning. Eventually, it was an incredible bowling performance from the pace cartel which handed India a famous 151 runs victory to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series with three matches still to go. Bumrah and Shami charged into the field with the ball and sent back the openers in seven deliveries to set up the win for the visiting team.
