The Hundred: Trent Rockets vs London Spirit

Platform comparison

Market context

Polymarket is pricing **YES** at **17%** on USDC-settled conditional tokens on Polygon, so the contract is assigning Trent Rockets a relatively low chance of being the official winner of the match now. That is below most independent pre-match views, which generally have Trent Rockets as a narrow favourite, so the market is leaning towards a Spirit win, a collapse in Rockets’ batting, or simply treating the Rockets as underdogs in this specific fixture.

Recent comparable cases frame that probability as aggressive rather than neutral. A 2026 preview model put Trent Rockets at about **53.4%** to win versus **40.2%** for London Spirit, while 2025 betting and preview coverage also leaned Rockets, including Sporting Life tipping them to beat Spirit and The Stats Zone similarly backing a Rockets win.[1][4][5] Last season’s head-to-head also shows how quickly this format can swing: London Spirit beat Trent Rockets by **21 runs** in The Hundred men’s competition, a reminder that short-format cricket leaves room for volatility even when one side rates stronger on paper.[7]

For traders, the main catalysts are the published XIs, the toss, and any weather or interruption risk before the result is finalised on ESPNcricinfo, because DLS, over-rate penalties, forfeits, walkovers and other on-field rulings still settle as ordinary wins under this market’s rules. The Hundred’s compressed innings make one late batting decision or a powerplay bowling spell disproportionately important, and any update to the official match schedule or playing conditions can shift settlement odds quickly if the game is delayed or shortened.

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote, four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to PolyGram, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
