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
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.
