London Spirit vs Birmingham Phoenix Predictions


The Phoenix looked weak in their opener, while the Spirit put up more of a fight in their opening loss. It could be a close match, but I'm backing the Spirit to take this one.

  • London Spirit’s Michael Pepper has scored 34, 120*, 27 & 20 in his last 5 innings.
  • London Spirit’s Liam Dawson scored 45* off 19 balls against the Southern Brave.
  • Birmingham Phoenix’s Moeen Ali has scored 59 & 103 in his last 4 innings.
  • Birmingham Phoenix’s Liam Livingstone scored 54* & 36 in his last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head


The Phoenix have won the last three matches against the Spirit in The Hundred.

The Spirit went down to the Southern Brave by seven wickets in their first match of the season.

The Spirit got a late rally from number eight Liam Dawson, who smashed 45* off 19 balls with three sixes to lift his side to 138/9. 

The Brave raced to the win off 89 balls for the loss of just three wickets. Dan Lawrence
