Head-to-head and form

MSG 3 – 2 TR (last 5 meetings). Manchester lead the recent head-to-head 3-2 and won the last meeting comfortably.

The story so far

Manchester Super Giants start as favourites on the back of the most dangerous top order in the competition — Jos Buttler and Heinrich Klaasen — and a deeper, more balanced bowling card. Trent Rockets have the matchwinners to pull off an upset, led by Ben Duckett and the explosive Finn Allen, but they will likely need an early breakthrough and a flying start to stay with Manchester on a ground that rewards power.
