Trent Bridge Hosts Match 8 of The Hundred Between Trent Rockets and London Spirit

Men’s sides arrive seeking first wins as the Trent Rockets women aim to build on an opening victory on a batter‑friendly Trent Bridge surface.

Overview

Both the men’s Trent Rockets and London Spirit, each beaten in their opening matches, meet at Trent Bridge on Sunday, July 26 for Match 8 with both teams looking for their first points in The Hundred.
The women’s fixture at the same venue pairs a 1-0 Trent Rockets Women against a winless London Spirit Women, giving the Rockets a chance to extend early momentum.
Previews from multiple outlets describe Trent Bridge as offering true bounce and a quick outfield that favors stroke play while also allowing new-ball seam movement, a mix that could produce a high-scoring contest or reward early pacer strikes.
Key players flagged in previews and fantasy guides include Liam Livingstone (69 in London Spirit’s opener), Samantha Bates (three wickets and Player of the Match for Trent Rockets Women), Nat Sciver-Brunt and Marizanne Kapp.
Media and fantasy sites published predicted XIs and conflicting match calls—some favour the chasing side, others back London Spirit or the Rockets Women—so captain and Dream11 picks hinge on toss and how teams use the early seam movement on Sunday.
