OVI vs TRT: Team Previews
Oval Invincibles
Oval Invincibles, with five wins to their name, have already qualified for the playoffs this season. However, Sam Billings and Co. will be aiming to continue their winning momentum before the big games up ahead. As of now, they are placed at the top of Men's The Hundred 2023 points table, and a defeat to Rockets at this stage will not jeopardise their top spot.
Trent Rockets
Trent Rockets launched their title defence campaign with a thrilling six-run win over Southern Brave. Owing to a washout and two close defeats, the Rockets had to wait three more games before registering their second win of the season. In their most recent outing, they thumped cellar-dwellers Birmingham Phoenix by 46 runs and are currently placed among the top three sides in the competition.

OVI vs TRT: The Oval Pitch Report
The batters tend to get much assistance from The Oval surface once they have countered the new-ball threat upfront. However, the spinners will come into play, with the track offering enough grip and turn as the game progresses. In three men’s matches played out here this season, teams batting first have emerged victorious twice. So, in all likelihood, the toss-winner will opt to bat first.
