Head-to-Head

The Southern Brave have been victorious in three of their last four games against the Phoenix.

Birmingham Phoenix Form

After losing their first match of the season, the Phoenix won their next two on the bounce, the second win coming against the Rockets.

The Phoenix scored a reasonable 138/6 off their 100 balls, Jacob Bethells saving his top order’s blushes by scoring 46* off 29 balls.

Adam Milne (2/20) bowled superbly along with the rest of the attack to restrict the Rockets to just 132/8 off their 100 balls.

Birmingham Phoenix Team News

The Phoenix need their top-order to start producing runs with more consistency.

Southern Brave Form

The Brave bounced back from defeat to the Northern Superchargers with a seven-wicket win over the Originals to make it two wins from three.

Craig Overton, Tymal Mills and Chris Jordan each picked up two wickets as the Originals were reduced to 41/4, before partly recovering to reach 116/6 off their 100 balls.

Alex Davies (24) and James Vince (20) got the innings off to a flyer, allowing the middle order to stroll to the win with 22 balls in hand.

Southern Brave Team News

The Brave will be confident after their win over the Originals and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

Birmingham Phoenix v Southern Brave - The Hundred

I am backing Southern Brave to win. I am also backing James Vince to top score for Southern Brave.

Jacob Bethell is a good bet to top score for the Birmingham Phoenix.

Southern Brave Win
