Trent Rockets v Birmingham Phoenix Cricket Betting Tips 27/08/2025
Trent Rockets host Birmingham Phoenix at Trent Bridge on Wednesday night in The Hundred, with both sides looking to finish the group stage strongly, so here’s our Trent Rockets v Birmingham Phoenix Cricket Betting Tips. The Rockets occupy one of the top three qualification spots after a fine 2025 campaign and can qualify for the knockouts with a victory. However, the Phoenix are trailing behind their Midlands rivals in fourth place. This game begins at 6:30 p.m. It will be shown live on Sky Sports.
Form
The Trent Rockets are second in the Hundred 2025 standings after securing five wins from their opening seven matches. They have been consistent recently, winning three of their previous four games, with a six-wicket defeat against the Oval Invincibles, their only setback. The Rockets responded to that rare loss with a three-wicket victory over the Welsh Fire. Birmingham Phoenix have been less convincing after losing four of their seven matches this season. The Midlands outfit have struggled for consistency, losing and winning twice in their last four. The Phoenix won their most recent match, defeating bottom-of-the-table Manchester Originals by seven wickets.
Match Winner Bet
Birmingham Phoenix have improved recently, sealing two wins from their last three matches. This is their best run of form in the 2025 competition, but the Birmingham side are yet to win consecutive matches in the Hundreds this term. As a result, the Phoenix are outsiders to win on Wednesday, with AK Bets offering 13/10 odds for an away victory. With a direct route to the knockouts available, we can see the Rockets winning at Trent Bridge here. The Rockets have some elite players in their ranks, and three wins from four matches shows they are in good nick. They will want to build momentum heading into the Hundred’s final stages and a home win is tipped at 17/20, offered by Betway.
Team of Top Batsman Betting
The Rockets are favoured to beat Birmingham Phoenix in the Hundred, but the batting markets may lean towards a strong performance from the visitors. Ultimately, the Rockets have been overly reliant on Joe Root in the last two matches, where the England international has fired back-to-back 50s. But his back-to-back fifties underline his class. However, he’s had a lack of support, as no other Rockets batter has crossed 40 in their last two matches. The Phoenix spread their Joe Clarke and Liam Livingstone, providing consistent scores during the Hundreds this season. Backed up with Ben Duckett, who rediscovered some decent form last time out with an unbeaten 49, the Phoenix could be the better pick for Team of Top Batsman on Wednesday. The away side also have better odds in this market at 11/10, provided by 10Bet.
Top Batsman Bets
Joe Root is the obvious choice of top batsman for the Trent Rockets vs the Birmingham Phoenix. Root’s 64 not out and 76 in the last two games showcase his confidence, the former England captain is priced at 5/1 by Sky Bet to hit the biggest score in this Hundred clash. However, it may be worth straying from the favourite here due to Phoenix’s batting depth.
Liam Livingstone is the standout choice for the visitors after scoring an average of 52.67 in the Hundreds this year. Livingstone has been super consistent, notching over 300 runs in the competition and scoring 39 in the reverse fixture between these Midlands sides. At 8/1, offered by 10Bet, Livingstone finish as the match’s top scorer represents pretty good value at Trent Bridge.
