Birmingham Phoenix vs Manchester Originals Predictions

The Originals are in 7th place on the table but can’t move up, even with a win. The Phoenix are in 4th place and need a win (or one point for a tie or an abandoned match) to take them into the Eliminator, but their form has been excellent so the odds are good for them to claim the win they need.

Birmingham Phoenix’s Ben Duckett has scored 92, 43*, 54* & 30 in his last 4 innings.
Birmingham Phoenix’s Moeen Ali scored 37* & 60 in his last 3 innings.
Manchester Originals’ Phil Salt hit four sixes in his innings of 61 off 28 balls.
Manchester Originals’ Matthew Hurst has scored 78 & 50 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

The Originals have won all three matches against the Phoenix in The Hundred.

Birmingham Phoenix Form

The Phoenix bounced back from their loss to the Brave by racking up three wins on the bounce, the last of which was a six-wicket win over the Rockets.

Tim Southee (5/12, rpb 0.60) knocked over half of the Rockets top order, and came back to clean up the tail to dismiss them for 118 off their 100th ball.

The Phoenix glided to victory by six wickets thanks to 30s from Ben Duckett, Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethnell.

Birmingham Phoenix Team News

The Phoenix are in superb form and are looking good to end the group stage of The Hundred with another win.

Manchester Originals Form

After breaking their losing streak with a win over the Spirit, the Originals lost again to the Superchargers.

The Originals posted a challenging 152/7 off their 100 balls thanks to an explosive innings of 61 off 28 balls by Phil Salt.

The Superchargers were struggling at 29/2 before their middle-order powered their way to the win with seven wickets and three balls in hand.

Manchester Originals Team News

The Originals will fancy ending on a high and will no doubt play with plenty of freedom… so there’s every chance that they might either collapse and be heavily beaten, or offer the Phoenix a competitive challenge in their final match.

Verdict

Birmingham Phoenix v Manchester Originals - The Hundred

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

Phil Salt is a good bet to top score for the Manchester Originals.
