SOUTHERN BRAVE MEN FORM: BATTING COLLAPSE COSTS BRAVE AT THE KIA OVAL
On a tough pitch, Southern Brave were reduced to 118/8 against Oval Invincibles, losing wickets at regular intervals and whilst the hosts found it difficult themselves, they kept wickets in hand and ultimately put away the Brave by six wickets with 15 balls remaining.
TRENT ROCKETS MEN FORM: TRIUMPH OVER SPIRIT PROVIDES MUCH-NEEDED RESTBITE FOR ROCKETS
Desperately needing a reaction after losing to Welsh Fire in agonising fashion, Trent Rockets responded well by comfortably defeating London Spirit by 22 runs, after recording 166/4 before bowling their opponents out for 144.
SOUTHERN BRAVE MEN BETTING ANALYSIS
It will come as no surprise that we once again shine a spotlight on Southern Brave captain James Vince, who has maintained his fabulous form with the bat in this competition. Another half-century on Thursday makes it 310 runs for the opener in just six innings. Numbers like that simply can’t go without further investment from bettors and a stake on Vince to add another 30+ runs to that total here has to be favoured.
TRENT ROCKETS MEN BETTING ANALYSIS
We recommended bettors to back Rashid Khan to get right back among the wickets in bulk against London Spirit and that he did, gaining four scalps in a much-needed victory. A player of his class will be needed against a significantly stronger Southern Brave batting unit. That shouldn’t put bettors off though, who should consider backing Rashid to record over 1.5 match wickets in this one.
SOUTHERN BRAVE MEN VS TRENT ROCKETS MEN EXPERT PREDICTION
Whilst Trent Rockets have been inconsistent across the campaign so far, four wins from six represents an excellent return for Southern Brave. At home in particular, the Brave have looked formidable and you’d expect to see that continue on this occasion. Aside from John Turner back on his home ground, the Rockets lack pace within their bowling which is a problem in Southampton compared to the likes of Jofra Archer and Tymal Mills.
Southern Brave will be hurting after their Oval Invincibles collapse as they let what was a winnable game slip within their grasp the longer proceedings went on. Expect them to prove far more ruthless on their own patch and overcome Trent Rockets.
