The Hundred Men's 2025: Match 20, TRT vs MNR Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between TRT vs MNR?

The Match No. 20 of the Hundred Men's 2025 will see Trent Rockets (TRT) crossing swords with Manchester Originals (MNR) on Tuesday, August 19 in an epic encounter at the iconic Trent Bridge in the city of Nottingham.

With four games played in the season so far, the Trent Rockets are running in a superb form at the moment, having won three games. These three winning performances have also put them on the second position on the leaderboard with twelve points and a net run-rate (NRR) of 0.407. In this upcoming clash, the Rockets have the chance to come on top of the table, but they will have to wish that Oval Invincibles lose their ongoing clash against the Southern Brave.

Meanwhile, the Manchester Originals haven't enjoyed the best of the starts so far, with only a couple of wins under their belt after featuring in five matches this season. However, they gained a comprehensive win in their previous clash against the Northern Superchargers, which will definitely boost their confidence for the fixture against the Rockets.

Match Details

Head-to-Head Record

Trent Bridge, Nottingham — Pitch Report

The Trent Bridge in Nottingham is hands down one of the most iconic grounds in the region, and the bigger boundaries at the venue usually pose a challenge in front of the batters to score runs. In the ongoing season, both the games held at the venue saw the team batting second chase down the target, meaning that the pitch gets easier to bat as the game progresses. Going by the same route, the team winning the toss should look to bowl first.

Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter — Jos Buttler

The experienced English stumper-batter Jos Buttler has been the most successful performer with the bat for Manchester Originals. He has scored 189 runs from just five innings so far, averaging an astonishing 47.25 with the bat. In his previous outing against the Northern Superchargers, Buttler hit an unbeaten 64 off just 45 deliveries, and was also the Player of the Match for this showing. He will once again be expected to be among runs.

Probable Best Bowler — Josh Tongue

Right-arm pacer Josh Tongue has held his line and lengths brilliantly to be the highest wicket-taker with nine wickets from just three games. His bowling average has stood at just 8.33, and the kind of rhythm he finds himself in at the moment, the Rockets' batters will have to plan differently for Tongue's spell.
