Trent Rockets (TRT) will take on Birmingham Phoenix (BPH) in Match 22 of The Hundred Men’s Competition 2026 at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, on Wednesday, August 5. The two sides head into the contest with contrasting fortunes this season.
The Rockets have been one of the standout teams in the competition, winning four of their five matches to occupy the top spot in the standings. Led by Sam Billings, TRT have looked well-balanced with both bat and ball, and another victory would strengthen their chances of securing a place in the knockout stages.
Birmingham Phoenix, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency. With just one win from four matches, they currently sit at the bottom of the table. However, the presence of explosive players such as Mitchell Owen, Will Smeed, Donovan Ferreira and Rehan Ahmed means BPH have the firepower to upset any side on their day.

Trent Bridge Pitch Report
The Trent Bridge surface is expected to favour batters, offering good pace and consistent bounce throughout the contest. The new-ball bowlers could enjoy some movement during the opening exchanges, but batting conditions generally improve as the innings progresses.
Stroke-makers are likely to benefit from the true nature of the wicket and the relatively short boundaries, making it an ideal venue for high-scoring contests. Fast bowlers who hit the right lengths can still create opportunities early, while spinners may need to rely on variations rather than turn. Captains winning the toss are expected to bowl first, with chasing sides traditionally enjoying success at this venue.
