Manchester Originals vs Birmingham Phoenix Predictions


The Originals and the Phoenix are part of a bottom four all on eight points. There’s a chance one of them could slip past the Southern Brave and into the playoffs, so there is plenty to play for still.

  • Manchester Originals’ Jos Buttler has scored 69*, 46 & 45* in his last 4 innings.
  • Manchester Originals’ Phil Salt has scored 41, 31 & 19 in his last 5 innings.
  • Birmingham Phoenix’s Liam Livingstone (19 sixes in 11 innings) is 1st in The Hundred Sixes Hit list.
  • Birmingham Phoenix’s Jacob Bethell has scored 48, 18* & 38 in his last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head


Manchester Originals have won three and lost one of their four matches against Birmingham Phoenix.

Manchester Originals Form


The Originals made it two defeats and two wins from their last four matches when they lost to the Trent Rockets by seven wickets. 

The Originals battled to reach 98/8 off their 100 balls, with Lewis Gregory (33 off 21) the only batter to reach 20. 

The Rockets timed their chase perfectly, reaching 101/3 off just 74 balls to secure the win. 

Manchester Originals Team News


There are no injury reports from the Manchester Originals squad. 

Birmingham Phoenix Form


The Phoenix suffered their fourth defeat in six matches when they lost to the Welsh Fire by eight wickets.   

Jacob Bethell top-scored with 38 off 28 balls as the Phoenix posted just 138/9 off their 100 balls. 

Benny Howell (1/17, econ 0.85) was the pick of the Phoenix bowlers, but his efforts weren’t enough to prevent the Welsh Fire racing to an eight-wicket win with 11 balls to spare. 

Birmingham Phoenix Team News


The Phoenix need a big improvement in their last two games. They might look to make some changes to their squad as they push for a playoff spot.

Verdict

I am backing Manchester Originals to win. I am also backing Jos Buttler to top score for Manchester Originals.

Liam Livingstone is a good bet to top score for the Birmingham Phoenix.
