Trent Rockets began their campaign in style with an impressive display against the Phoenix, winning by six wickets at Edgbaston. Their bowlers laid the foundation well, making it difficult for the Phoenix to come back in the first innings. The match featured a crucial moment in the 30th ball of the Phoenix innings. Sam Cook produced an incredible bit of fielding to run out Jacob Bethell. Cook delivered a perfect yorker on the off-stump and Joe Clarke deflected it towards the leg side. As soon as the ball went away from the pitch, Bethell advanced halfway down the pitch for a quick single, while Clarke hardly moved. Cook quickly ran towards the ball and made a timely slide and picked up the ball in a flash, turned, and knocked over the stumps straight at the bowler's end. This incredible hit dismissed Bethell for 5 runs off 7 balls.

Ben Duckett was the first to leave, chopping a scoop shot onto his wickets. Will Smeed was given out by a short ball, and Chris Benjamin Donald was dismissed lbw. Bethell's run-out contributed to the early troubles and had left Phoenix 4 wickets down for just 26 runs. Liam Livingstone and Clarke attempted to resurrect the innings. Clarke fought for fluency, making 29 runs off 34 balls, whereas Livingstone took more risky shots. But the bowlers of the Rockets maintained control at the end with tight yorkers and tactics in the change of pace. Dan Mousley and Benny Howell capitalized on some loose balls, but Phoenix managed to achieve just 122/6, a total far short of par.
