After securing a victory over Southern Brave by 4 wickets in their previous fixture, the Trent Rockets are all set to host yet another game at home. They will be welcoming the Manchester Originals at Trent Bridge in Nottingham for Match 20 of the Men’s Hundred 2025.
The Rockets have been firing on all cylinders this season so far, with 3 wins and a loss from 4 games. Their emphatic show has led them to stand second on the points table for now, and they would be hoping to secure a spot among the top 3, with the tournament heating up. A win here will take them closer to their aim and also shorten the gap between them and the current table toppers, Oval invincibles.
Manchester Originals must be looking to remain in the race to the eliminator. Having won only two games so far out of 5, they are left with three more fixtures and need to win all of them for a realistic chance of finishing among the top 3. Three wins on the trot would put their fate in their own hands, eliminating the need to rely on other results. The tournament is heating up, and every game from here on will hold an unmatched significance.
Let’s delve deeper into this post for the TRT vs MNR Dream11 prediction.

The pitch at Trent Bridge for Match 20 of The Hundred 2025 between Trent Rockets and Manchester Originals is expected to be a batting paradise. Known for its true bounce and short square boundaries, the surface typically rewards aggressive stroke play and high-scoring encounters. Batters who get set early can capitalize with big scores, while bowlers—especially pacers—will need to rely on variations and early swing to make an impact.
