Trent Rockets vs Southern Brave Chance of Winning
Trent Rockets, the defending champions of the men's The Hundred 2023 title, are the favourites to win the tournament-opener against Southern Brave who managed to win just three of their eight matches last season.
Rockets are ahead of Brave in the batting department despite the presence of Devon Conway and Tim David in their line-up. Both these batters will be playing in English conditions directly after plying their trades on slow surfaced in the USA during the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2023 outings. David will feature in the finals of MLC 2023 on July 31 and his participation in the match on August 1 is also not certain.
Regardless, Rockets have local T20 batting superstars in the form of Dawid Malan and Alex Hales. Then there are Colin Munro, Samit Patel, Rashid Khan, Daniel Sams and Tom Kohler-Cadmore also in the line-up. In the absence of Jofra Archer, the Southern Brave bowling unit also does not look very dangerous.
Trent Rockets should manage to kick off their campaign on a winning note.
SB chances of winning - 41%
TR chances of winning - 59%

Trent Rockets vs Southern Brave Betting Odds
Trent Rockets opening partnership to be over 19.5
Trent Rockets scoring over 19.5 runs before the fall of the first wicket is a high probability. The reason is quite simple and obvious. The team boasts of a lethal opening pair in Dawid Malan and Alex Hales. Both were among the top-five run-getters in the men's Hundred 2022. While Malan finished at top with 377 runs, Hales was fifth on the list with 259 runs at an average of 28.77. In the absence of injured Jofra Archer, Southern Brave bowling unit looks average. This comes as an added advantage for the star opening duo. Malan also scored over 500 runs in the Vitality Blast. Hales also smashed 328 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate of 140.77.
Trent Rockets vs Southern Brave Top Team Batter
Dawid Malan to be Trent Rocket's top batter
Dawid Malan scored 59 runs off 41 balls and emerged as the leading run-scorer in the match when Southern Brave and Trent Rockets met each other for the last time. The southpaw was the leading run-scorer in the men's Hundred last year. He scored 377 runs in nine matches at an average of 53.85 and a strike rate of 166.81. He hit a total of four fifties. Eyes will be on Malan in the upcoming match as T20 is the format which suits him the most. Overall, he has played a total of 308 T20 matches and scored 8557 runs at an average of 33.55 and a strike rate of 130.24.
Devon Conway to be Southern Brave top batter
The New Zealand opener has been in sublime form lately. After setting the stage on fire for CSK in the IPL 2023, the southpaw scored 221 runs in seven matches at an average of 31.57. In the IPL 2023, Conway scored 672 runs - third-highest in the season. The 32-year-old would be aiming to carry forward his momentum and give a solid start to Southern Brave who are hoping for a better season. He has played a total of 156 T20 matches and scored 5321 runs at an average of 44.34 and a strike rate of 129.55. Conway has two hundreds and 42 fifties to his name in the format.
Trent Rockets vs Southern Brave Top bowler
Rashid Khan to be Trent Rocket's top bowler
Star leg-spinner would look for a cracking start to his The Hundred Men's Competition 2023 campaign on Tuesday. The last year saw him pick three wickets in just the two matches he played. The 24-year-old globetrotter is the world number one ranked T20I bowler at the moment. He has played a total of 410 T20 matches and picked 556 wickets at an average of 18.30 and an economy rate of 6.45. He recently featured in the Major League Cricket (MLC 2023) where he took five wickets in the last five matches for MI New York (before the final).
Chris Jordan to be Southern Brave's top bowler
Chris Jordan can emerge as the leading wicket-taker for Southern Brave on Tuesday. In the absence of Jofra Archer, Jordan becomes the lead pace bowler for his side. He would be looking to make amends and do well in this season. The 2022 edition of the men's Hundred saw him pick three wickets in as many matches. In the Vitality Blast 2023, Jordan picked 15 wickets in 13 matches for Surrey. Overall, the pacer has featured in 321 T20 matches and picked 333 wickets at an average of 27.62.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Trent Rockets
The star-studded Trent Rockets are the favourites to win their opening match against Southern Brave who are expected to rely heavily on the success of Devon Conway and Tim David. Their best pacer Jofra Archer is out with injury and the pressure on Chris Jordan and Tymal Mills will be immense against a batting line-up which features Dawid Malan, Alex Hales, and Colin Munro. The presence of Cadmore in the middle-order and Rashid Khan lower down the order will add to their headache. Rockets bowling unit of Rashid, Dabiel Sams, Luke Wood, Samit Patel and Sam Cook also looks wholesome. Rockets would look for a comprehensive win to begin their campaign on a bright note.
SB to win - 1.95 (Parimatch)
TR to win - 1.75 (Parimatch)
