Trent Rockets (TRT) are set to face Birmingham Phoenix (BPH) in match number 9 of The Hundred 2024, at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Wednesday, July 31.

The Rockets have started their 2024 campaign with a bang, having won both their games. In their opening game against Northern Superchargers, the Lewis Gregory-led side secured a comprehensive 47-run victory, courtesy of Chris Green's all-round performance. In their last game against Manchester Originals, the Rockets managed to defend their total of 145 runs and secured a narrow one-run win. Tom Banton was awarded the Player of the Match award for his knock of 45 runs. 

Meanwhile, Birmingham Phoenix had a disappointing start to their campaign, losing their opening game at the hands of Oval Invincibles. Putting the loss behind them, Moeen Ali & Co. came back strong in their next game against London Spirit and managed to register a three-wicket victory. Sean Abbott's match-winning spell of 4/14 helped the side secure their first win of the competition.
