The Hundred Women's Competition 2021 Match 29: Trent Rockets vs Manchester Originals - Preview, predicted XIs, match prediction, weather forecast and pitch report
Trent Rockets Women are ready to take on Manchester Originals Women in the 29th match of The Hundred Women 2021 at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Sunday.
Trent Rockets Women are placed fourth in the table with three wins and as many losses. They lost their previous game to the Phoenix, where they could only manage to score 125 runs batting first. The top order failed to come to the party, which will be a concern for them.
Meanwhile, it has been a disappointing campaign for Manchester Originals. They have managed to win just two games and are out of contention to make the top four. However, they won their last game against the Northern Superchargers. The Originals chased down 127 comfortably with eight wickets to spare.
For Trent Rockets, this will be a must-win game to keep their chances alive to make the final four. Manchester Originals, on the other hand, will just want to sign off on a winning note and play spoilsport. With that said, this should certainly be a cracker of an encounter.
