The Hundred: Manchester Super Giants vs Trent Rockets

Platform comparison

Market context

Manchester Super Giants and Trent Rockets met at Emirates Old Trafford in a men’s Hundred fixture, and the completed result makes the market’s 0% YES price easy to understand in hindsight: Trent Rockets won by six wickets after chasing 138 with 13 balls to spare. CricketWorld reported Finn Allen’s unbeaten 72 from 35 balls as the decisive innings, while ESPN Cricinfo’s match page records the final scoreline and outcome, so any contract keyed to the published result resolves against a Manchester Super Giants win.[1][3]

For context, these sides have produced competitive Hundred meetings before, but the recent head-to-head record leaned Trent’s way: ESPN lists Trent Rockets winning the 2025 meeting, and the prior five-match sequence shown there includes several tight finishes rather than one-sided blowouts.[8] That matters for reading a low price from an odds-comparison angle, because prediction markets and books usually move on team strength and toss conditions, yet the actual match outcome still depends heavily on whether the chasing side gets an early platform. ESPN’s pre-match table also showed Trent Rockets ahead in the standings on net run rate before this game, which would normally support the favourite side rather than a zero-probability long shot against them.[3][8]

The main trading catalysts were the confirmed line-ups at the toss, the toss itself, and any weather or interruption risk at Manchester, because The Hundred games can be shortened and still resolve on the final official result under the competition’s playing conditions. Live match listings from Cricbuzz and Livescore.mobi both show the fixture scheduled for 18:30 local time at Old Trafford, and ESPN’s live score page confirms the match was played under standard tournament conditions with the result ultimately published there.[6][11][3]

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). That keeps the comparison honest — a single canonical probability across the row, with the venue-by-venue trade-offs spelt out in the columns next to it.

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.
