TRT vs NOS: Team Previews
Trent Rockets
Led by Lewis Gregory, Trent Rickets had an amazing start to the tournament, defeating Southern Brave in the first game. However, their second group-stage fixture was washed out due to a persistent downpour.
In their first game against the Brave, Trent Rockets were saved by Sam Hain, who slammed a scintillating half-century to help them post a defendable total. Daniel Sams was the pick of the bowlers alongside skipper Gregory, as the duo dismantled the Brave with spectacular three-fers.
So, coming to this game, the Rockets would like an evolved performance from their star-studded top-order featuring Alex Hales, Dawid Malan and Tom Kohler-Cadmore.
Northern Superchargers

Like their counterparts, Northern Superchargers have also witnessed an abandoned fixture, winning the second one against Southern Brave. Their top-order performed exceptionally versus the Brave, while their bowling unit, led by Reece Topley, restricted the James Vince-led outfit to a paltry total.
So, the Superchargers would like to replicate a similar feat in this much-anticipated face-off.
