The Hundred 2025 is reaching a fever pitch, and all eyes are on the 15th match as the Trent Rockets take on the Southern Brave. Both teams enter this crucial contest with identical records of two wins and one loss from their first three matches. After roaring out of the gates with back-to-back victories, both sides stumbled in their last outings. This game is not just about points; it's a fierce battle to regain momentum and assert dominance in the tournament.
The Trent Rockets, playing on their home turf at Trent Bridge, will be desperate to get back to winning ways. They have a formidable batting lineup, with the likes of Tom Banton leading the charge. Banton has been in explosive form, consistently topping the run-scoring charts for his team. His partnership with the ever-reliable Joe Root will be crucial in setting or chasing a big total. While their batters have shown promise, the Rockets' bowlers will need to be at their best to contain a star-studded Southern Brave side.
The Southern Brave, meanwhile, are equally determined to bounce back from their recent defeat. Their strength lies in a balanced squad that can win from any situation. With the elegance of James Vince at the top of the order and the power of players like James Coles, their batting is deep and dangerous. However, their accurate weapon is their world-class bowling attack. The return of Jofra Archer and the consistent brilliance of Tymal Mills make them a constant threat to any batting lineup.
Historically, the Braves hold a slight 3-2 advantage over the Rockets. The pitch at Trent Bridge is known to favor batters, but interestingly, teams batting first have had a higher success rate here in The Hundred. This match will be a thrilling clash of titans, with both teams eager to prove they are back on the winning track. Will the Rockets' home advantage and batting prowess overpower the Braves' star-studded bowling attack? Or will the Braves' all-around class be too much to handle? All will be revealed in what promises to be a nail-biting encounter.
In the head-to-head history of The Hundred, the Southern Brave have established a dominant record over the Trent Rockets. Of the five encounters between the two teams, the Southern Brave have secured three victories, with the Originals winning just two times.
