The team with the highest ranking in The Hundred Men's 2025 will advance straight to the final. And thus the race to the top has started. Two teams are vying for it. Both the 2022 winner, Trent Rockets, and the reigning champion Oval Invincibles have 16 points. The Oval Invincibles (OVI) and Trent Rockets (TRT) will square off in an epic showdown in showdown No. 23 of The Hundred Men's 2025 on Thursday, August 21, at the Kennington Oval in London.
With just one defeat in their first five games of the current season, the Oval Invincibles are in excellent form. Conversely, the London-based team has been facing some fierce opposition from the Trent Rockets. Even though they have won four of the five games, their comparatively low NRR of 0.725 is the only thing keeping them in second place on the points table.

Kennington Oval Pitch Report:
The Kennington Oval in London is regarded as having one of the best batting surfaces in the nation. Pacers can get good pace and bounce off this surface, but spinners rarely find much. The pitch's characteristics won't change much in the second innings, and batters will primarily enjoy their time in the middle. This makes it very evident that the captain who flips the coin in his favour ought to be inclined to bowl first.
