Cricket Betting Tips for TR vs BP—22nd Match, The Hundred 2026

Ben Duckett to score Over 24.5

The English Test and ODI opener has been on song this Hundred season for the Rockets. The left-hander has amassed 240 runs across 5 innings averaging brilliantly at 60. He remains a lynchpin in Rockets' batting order.

Tom Banton to score Over 18.5

If Ben Duckett has been doing his work at the top order for the Rockets, it's Tom Banton, who is monitoring the middle order so far. Averaging around 43, Tom has scored 130 runs with a fifty to his name across 4 innings.

Joe Clarke to score Over 18.5

Birmingham's wicket-keeper has scored 130 runs so far across four innings, the most for the side this season. Clarke is the only batter who has looked organized in Birmingham's otherwise obsolete batting lineup.

Mitchell Owen to score Over 17.5

Mitchell Owen opened the innings for Birmingham in the last game against Welsh Fire. Although he could only score 18 runs, returning to his favorite position could mean a big score must be on the horizon for the Aussie all-rounder.

TR vs BP Today’s Match Prediction

Check out our prediction for the TR vs BP Men’s Hundred 2026 match 22.

The Rockets should start as the outright favorites

Trent Rockets will enter match 22 of The Hundred Men’s 2026 as clear favorites when they host Birmingham Phoenix at Trent Bridge. Despite suffering a 10‑run defeat to Phoenix in the reverse fixture earlier this season, Sam Billings and his men will be determined to avenge that setback and consolidate their position at the top of the table.

The Rockets, champions in 2022, have looked formidable this season, combining depth in batting with variety in bowling. Ben Duckett and Tom Banton provide stability and flair at the top, while Finn Allen’s explosive hitting can change the course of a game in a matter of deliveries. Mohammad Amir’s experience with the ball and Craig Overton’s seam movement add bite to their attack, ensuring balance across departments.

Given form, depth, and home advantage, the Rockets should start as outright favorites, with a strong chance to extend their dominance in The Hundred 2026.

Birmingham Phoenix need to win this game to stay alive in the competition

Birmingham Phoenix face a do‑or‑die battle in match 22 of The Hundred Men’s 2026 as they take on table‑toppers Trent Rockets at Trent Bridge. Donovan Ferreira and his men are desperate for a win to keep their campaign alive, with elimination looming large after a string of disappointing performances.

The Phoenix can draw some confidence from their earlier victory over the Rockets this season, a result that proved they are capable of upsetting stronger opponents. That win will serve as motivation as they look to replicate the feat in Nottingham. Joe Clarke and Will Smeed will be crucial at the top, tasked with providing a solid start against a formidable Rockets attack. In the middle order, Ferreira’s own contributions will be vital, while Rehan Ahmed’s spin could play a decisive role in slowing down the Rockets’ batting firepower. Saqib Mahmood’s pace and Mitchell Owen’s variations add depth to the bowling unit. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
