As things have started to tighten up for the Playoffs in The Hundred Men’s competition, Oval Invincibles, who started well, but have lost both their away games with another one of it getting washed out, would be looking to bounce back once again at home when they face Trent Rockets.
Sitting at the top of the points table, Trent Rockets have lost only one game and are looking like the firm favourites to lift the inaugural title. However, their loss against Birmingham Phoenix at Edgbaston was more than suggestive that they are beatable and if the right tactics are applied, the Rockets could actually be fused before taking off.
But will Sam Billings and his team, which has struggled with ball and in the field be able to pull off a perfect sow to humble the Table toppers and keep their Playoffs hopes alive?
Match Number- 22
Date and Time: 08 August 2021, 11:30 pm IST, 07:00 pm Local, 06:00pm GMT

The pitch at Oval has been a sporting wicket with help for the bowlers and still flat enough to give batters and boost and make short format match interesting for the audiences.
With only 16% chances of rain at the start of the game at 07:00 pm local time and decreasing with the passage of time, audiences in London could be in for a full-fledged game of The Hundred.
