Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Trent Rockets
Trent Rockets should beat Manchester Originals in their upcoming match. The star-studded Rockets batting line-up will pose a tough challenge for Manchester. Colin Munro smashed 66 off 35 in the last match and that's very good news for the team who are expected to peak in the last few league stage matches. Manchester have looked vulnerable and there is lack of consistency in the side. Jos Buttler also hasn't scored in the last couple of matches for the side. Their main pacer Joshua Little will be unavailable as he is part of Ireland squad for the India T20Is. Trent Rockets are very likely to beat Manchester in their upcoming fixture.
TR to win - 1.75 (Parimatch)
MO to win - 2.08 (Parimatch)
