Birmingham Phoenix vs Trent Rockets Predictions

The Phoenix have won four of their last five matches and are in superb form. They should be able to beat the Rockets comfortably, as the Rockets have lost three of their last four matches.

Birmingham Phoenix’s Ben Duckett has scored 21, 92, 43* & 54* in his last 4 innings.
Birmingham Phoenix’s Moeen Ali scored 60 off 46 balls against the Fire.
Trent Rockets’ Alex Hales has scored 38, 23 & 68 in his last 4 innings.
Trent Rockets’ Tom Banton has scored 66, 45, 36 & 30 in his last 6 innings.

Head-to-Head

The Phoenix and Rockets have each won two matches from their last five meetings, with one match washed out. The Phoenix won the most recent meeting 12 days ago in the group stages.

Birmingham Phoenix Form

The Phoenix bounced back from their 32-run loss to the Brave to win the next two matches on the bounce. Their most recent win was by five wickets against the Fire.

The Fire posted a competitive total of 146/8 off their 100 balls, with Sean Abbott (4/16, rpb 0.80) starring with the ball.

Ben Duckett (54* off 31 balls) and Moeen Ali (60 off 46 balls) put on 114 for the first wicket off 73 balls, Duckett helping to shepherd the middle-order to the win with seven balls to spare.

Birmingham Phoenix Team News

Birmingham Phoenix are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Trent Rockets Form

The Rockets have lost three of their last four matches, including their most recent match when they lost to the Brave by two wickets with just one ball to spare.

Tom Banton (30 off 17 balls) got the Rockets off to a great start but none of his teammates could reach 20 as they struggled to 126/8 off their 100 balls.

The Brave got their reply off to a perfect start before John Turner (3/24) played a key role in reducing the Brave to 68/5 off 64 balls. A late rally from Kieron Pollard (45 off 23 balls) saw the Brave sneak home with a ball to spare and two wickets in the bank.

Trent Rockets Team News

The Rockets need a top performance with bat and ball to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Verdict

Birmingham Phoenix v Trent Rockets - The Hundred

I am backing Birmingham Phoenix to win. I am also backing Ben Duckett to top score for Birmingham Phoenix.

Alex Hales is a good bet to top score for the Trent Rockets.
