Before Betting On London Spirit vs Trent Rockets
Time is running out for the London Spirit and the Trent Rockets when it comes to their chances of reaching the eliminator. The Spirit come into this home match after losing three of their four matches, with only one win having being registered to this point of The Hundred. A victory will be required to keep alive their slim chance of reaching the knockout round this season.
Their poor form this season continued on August 4, as they were easily beaten by the Oval Invincibles. The Spirit could only score 117 runs in their response with the bat, meaning that they were ultimately beaten by 30 runs. Dan Lawrence top scored for the Spirit, smashing 27 runs from 18 balls.
Meanwhile, the Trent Rockets appear to be in a strong position to challenge for an Eliminator spot in The Hundred this season. At present, they sit fifth in the standings, and they are just two points off the top three places. Importantly, they hold an advantage over the teams above them in terms of the net run rate, which could prove vital at the end of the season.
However, the Rockets will be chasing a response this week after falling to a four-run defeat against the Welsh Fire on August 3. Alex Hales was the standout player with the bat for the Rockets after scoring 23 runs from 16 balls, while Sam Cook took an impressive two wickets. But, a victory will be required to keep alive their hopes of a top-three finish this week.
