London Spirit (LNS) is ready to go head-to-head against Trent Rockets (TRT) in Match 16 of The Hundred 2023 at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London on Saturday (August 12). In their previous encounter last season, the Rockets secured a 7-run victory over the Spirit.
Currently positioned at the seventh spot in the points table, LNS has experienced one loss and two no results in three matches. Their recent clashes against Southern Brave (SOB) and Manchester Originals (MNR) were abandoned due to rain. Their opening match against Ovan Invincible (OVI) was a nail-biting affair that went down to the final ball. Despite Adam Rossington‘s impressive contribution of 39 runs, LNS were dismissed for 131. OVI successfully chased the target, reaching 132/7 in 99 balls.
On the flip side, TRT are currently placed fourth in the points table with one win, one loss and two no result. In their most recent match, they suffered a narrow defeat against Northern Superchargers (NOS), falling short by just three runs. TRT managed to score 139/7 in 100 balls while chasing NOS’s total of 142/5. It’s bound to be an exhilarating clash between these two competitive teams.

LNS vs TRT Pitch Report:
The playing surface at Lord’s provides an even and well-balanced track for the shortest format of cricket. The bowlers have the opportunity to benefit from substantial lateral movement generated by the pitch. Batters, on the other hand, must exercise patience during the early stages of their innings. With time spent on the pitch, the batters can then take calculated risks and execute high-risk shots.
