Head-to-Head

MI London have won one and lost four of their last five matches in The Hundred against the Birmingham Phoenix.

Birmingham Phoenix Form

Birmingham Phoenix will be looking for a much-improved performance after suffering a seven-wicket defeat against London Spirit in their previous match.

Batting first, the Phoenix posted 162, but the total was not enough as London Spirit chased it down comfortably. The Phoenix struggled for early momentum, with several top-order batters failing to make meaningful contributions.

Joe Clarke was once again the standout performer, producing an excellent 73 from 42 deliveries. Sean Dickson also played an important role, adding a quick 51 from 28 balls to give the innings much-needed substance.

However, the Phoenix were unable to turn that platform into a match-winning total, and their bowlers could not apply enough sustained pressure during the chase.

Saqib Mahmood, Tom Helm and Ben Dwarshuis picked up one wicket each, but the Phoenix were unable to prevent the Spirit from taking control of the match.

Clarke has been the Phoenix's key batter this season, scoring 290 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 151. His form remains central to their hopes of finishing the campaign strongly.

MI London Form

MI London also come into this fixture after a disappointing result, having suffered a six-wicket defeat against the Trent Rockets.

Batting first, MI London managed 147, but the total proved below par as Trent Rockets chased it down with 10 balls to spare. MI London struggled to make a strong start and needed a recovery through the middle phase.

Sam Curran provided the major contribution, striking an aggressive 72 from 46 deliveries at a strike rate of 156. Will Jacks also added a valuable 39 from 26 balls, but the rest of the batting line-up failed to build on their efforts.

With the ball, MI London needed early breakthroughs but struggled to put consistent pressure on the Rockets. Richard Gleeson was the pick of the bowlers, taking 2/27 from his 20-ball spell, while Tom Curran also claimed one wicket.

Will Jacks has been MI London’s leading run-scorer this season with 252 runs in seven matches at an average of 36. Gleeson has led the bowling attack impressively, taking 12 wickets in seven games.

Team news

Edgbaston usually offers a high-scoring batting surface with true bounce and brief new-ball movement. Runs flow early, but bowling can improve later in the match, making batting first the preferred toss call.

Birmingham Phoenix (possible XI): Mitchell Owen, Will Smeed, Joe Clarke, Rehan Ahmed, Laurie Evans, Donovan Ferreira (c), Sean Dickson, Scott Currie, Chris Wood, Saqib Mahmood, Usman Tariq.

MI London (possible XI): Will Jacks, James Vince, Nicholas Pooran, Sam Curran (c), Sherfane Rutherford, Tom Curran, Rashid Khan, Ollie Pope, Trent Boult, Nathan Sowter, Richard Gleeson.

Verdict

Birmingham Phoenix v MI London

MI London are massively favoured to win, with Joe Clarke a good call to keep the runs flowing. Usman Tariq, Will Jacks and Richard Gleeson are also backed to make big contributions for their sides.
