Trent RocketsWelsh FireAs compared to the previous season, Welsh Fire has shown a huge amount of improvement in their quality of cricket. During the 2022 season of the Hundred, Welsh Fire finished at the bottom of the point table but this year, they are not only in the third position but also in close competition with the table toppers. The team has shown dominance in their bowling and their batting also looks balanced. With only one loss, Welsh Fire have raised the bar with every match they have been part of.

Trent Rockets are just two points behind Welsh Fire and they will be eying to score a win and equalize with their opponents. As compared to the previous season, the Rockets are not having a fruitful outing this year in the Hundred. They finished at the top in the 2022 season but this year, the team has shown inconsistency. Trent Rockets are finding it difficult to score a win where they have to chase and hence the team comes out weak when they bowl second.
There is still no news on Rashid Khan’s injury and hence his comeback is not guaranteed yet.
Predicted Lineup: Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Tom Kohler-Cadmore (wk), Sam Hain, Joe Root, Colin Munro, Lewis Gregory (c), Daniel Sams, Imad Wasim, Luke Wood, Sam Cook
Welsh Fire has shown a hunger to win matches in the ongoing season. Trent Rockets might find it difficult to face the bowling attack of the Fire. Rashid’s absence will also affect the bowling of the Rockets. We predict a win for Welsh Fire on Monday.
