LNS vs TRT: Team Previews
London Spirit
London Spirit’s final-over defeat to table-toppers Oval Invincibles was followed by consecutive washouts against Manchester Originals and Southern Brave. They are currently placed at number seven on the points table and a win over Rockets at home would surely lift them up the standings.
Trent Rockets
Trent Rockets, on the other hand, managed to secure a win from their two completed fixtures so far this season. They defeated Southern Brave in their tournament opener before losing out to Northern Superchargers in the final over by three runs in their latest outing. Considering their battle against Birmingham Phoenix was abandoned owing to rains, they are placed at number four on the points table.
