It has been another excellent season of the Men's Hundred with even the weaker teams still putting on a fine show but these two sides, Oval Invincibles and Trent Rockets, have been streets ahead of the others so far.
Unsurprisingly, ahead of Wednesday's fixtures, they occupy the top two positions in the table and look set to fight it out for top place and the automatic spot in the final.
There are top level international players on show for both teams and most predicted successful campaigns for the Invincibles and the Rockets.
Will it be Rehan, Root and Banton who prevail in this one or will the likes of Curran, Jacks and Rashid Khan be too strong for the visitors?
It promises to be a brilliant tussle!

Oval Invincibles have been the team to beat all season in the Men's Hundred but the problem for the opposing sides has been, with the exception of one night in Birmingham, that they have been unable to get anywhere near them!
Perhaps it is unsurprising with such a talented bowling line-up which saw Rashid Khan and Sam Curran both pick up three wicket hauls in the last game with Jason Behrendorff and Tom Curran chipping in with three wickets between them.
Will Jacks and Tawanda Muyeye are a powerful opening pair with the bat but it was the numbers three and four who delivered the crushing blows on Monday.
Jordan Cox is in the form of his life while Sam Curran continues to show that he is one of the best white ball players in either innings.

Trent Rockets do not have the same batting depth or explosiveness at the top of the order as Oval Invincibles but that does not mean that they will not be able to go toe to toe with them in this match.
At the top of the order, Tom Banton had a rare off-day against Manchester Originals on Tuesday but Rehan Ahmed at number three stepped up to show that he is having just as good a season with the bat in white ball cricket as he is in red ball.
Joe Root opens with Banton and his talent even in this format is still more than useful and the likes of David Willey and Marcus Stoinis can provide runs down the order.
With the ball, Rehan is a threat at the Oval and Lockie Ferguson, along with Sam Cook will keep the pressure and pace on.

The Oval continues to deliver a hard and pacy pitch which stroke-making batters relish playing on. There will be bounce and some turn but overall it is the batters who should succeed.
The conditions are unlikely to change a great deal across this match at The Oval and so we predict that both captains will want to bowl first before chasing down a total.
This really is the clash of the titans in the Men's Hundred and it would be a huge surprise if this game did not deliver plenty of thrills and spills. Both teams have quality across their team but it is Oval Invincibles who have played the more consistent and thrilling cricket so far.
