For the forthcoming season of The Hundred, the Southern Brave’s squad is also looking strong. Good domestic bowlers like Chris Jordan, Tymal Mills, and George Garton are available. Jofra Archer was also kept by the team following the 2022 season, although he will again miss the competition this year due to injuries. Tim David, Finn Allen, and Devon Conway are the team’s foreign players.

Trent Rockets vs. Southern Brave: Who will win?
The game will be held at Nottingham’s Trent Bridge Stadium. The Trent Rockets will play at home, and as a result of this advantage, they are heavy favorites to defeat the Southern Brave. On paper, both teams appear to be equally strong, but we believe the host team and defending champions will prevail in the tournament’s opening game.
