Team News
Oval Invincibles have been preparing for this final clash since Monday and are likely to make one change to their line-up with Adam Zampa set to come into the fray in place of fellow leg-spinner Rashid Khan, who took 12 wickets in this year’s competition.
For Trent Rockets, however, it has been only a matter of hours that they have known they will be involved in this game, and the fact their Eliminator was abandoned suggests there will not be a change to their line-up following that aborted game against Northern Superchargers.

Prediction
The Oval Invincibles are searching for their third successive Hundred success and if they are to achieve that against the Trent Rockets at Lord’s on Sunday then Jordan Cox looks set to play a leading role.
Cox is a vital component of the Oval top order which contains plenty of power and no player has scored more runs in the competition this summer.
He got off to a slow start but his last six innings have seen him score 44, 86, 56, 58 — which came against the Rockets, 24 and 47, so he clearly has his eye in.
Cox has also cleared the boundary an impressive 21 times so he is capable of taking this game by the scruff of the neck and leading his team to glory.
