Weather Report

The weather seems is nice and warm with temperatures in the late 20s and early 30s during the NOS vs TRT fixture.

Pitch Report

The Leeds track is good for batting but the slope will definitely be a factor as bowlers try and exploit the uneven bounce associated with it. Batting first is a better option.

Key Players

Joe Root

Despite being away from the T20 set-up for a while, Joe Root looked pretty good in the first game. Coming in at four, his role seems similar to that of Steve Smith’s in Australia. Batting with a steady tempo, and allowing others to go hard around him is likely his template. In the first game, he did pretty well while chasing a decent target, and came out with a notable contribution. Joe Root though, has the game to go big as shown in the recent Test series where he bought out some of the most unorthodox shots in the game.

Harry Brook

With Eoin Morgan retired, Harry Brook comes in as one of the middle-order contenders. He has already got a chance their and did a fair job in his limited opportunities. In the first game this season, he played with a positive mindframe and looked pretty good as well. His approach is a good fit to the England team and a good season here will help warrant a longer rope in the national side.

NOS vs TRT Match Tips

Both teams are full of some of the most seasoned T20 players. The likes o Faf Du Plessis, Joe Root, Dawid Malan, David Wiese, Dwayne Bravo and Adil Rashid are common names around the T20 circuit. With such an abundance of names and trophy winners, favorites for tomorrow is a tough one to pick. However, the steady batters like Root and Malan, along with their list of all-rounders may make TRT come in with a slight advantage. Similarly, the presence of some quality bowlers like Dwayne Bravo and Adil Rashid, along with the absence of Rashid Khan may put NOS slightly ahead of TRT.

Match Prediction: NOS will win the match.
