The 29th match of the ongoing Men’s Hundred 2023 Competition will see the Oval Invincibles lock horns with the Trent Rockets. This high-octane clash will be played at the Kennington Oval in London on Monday.

The Oval Invincibles are currently the table-toppers. They have won five games out of seven and sit comfortably at the top of the points table. They sealed a place in the knockout stages of the competition by winning their last game against Southern Brave.

Tom Curran played a very good knock of 43* lower down the order to take the Invincibles to 139 at the end of their innings. He then stepped up with the ball in hand and picked up three wickets to help his side defend the total against the Brave. The Invincibles will be eyeing a top-two finish and a win on Monday will see them avoid the Eliminator.

The Trent Rockets, on the other hand, are on the brink of qualifying for the final. They have won three games and lost as many and have seven points under their belt. They beat Birmingham Phoenix comprehensively in their previous fixture and will be looking to repeat their performance on Monday.

The middle-order batters contributed for the Rockets as they posted 162 on the board for the loss of six wickets. Daniel Sams and Matthew Carter picked up three and two wickets, respectively, as they restricted the Phoenix to 116/9 to win the game by 46 runs.
