Oval Invincibles vs Birmingham Phoenix Predictions
The Invincibles are well-named when you look at their powerful batting as well as their spicy bowling attack, especially if Adam Zampa is in the line-up. The Invincibles are the defending champions and I expect them to start with a healthy win.
- Oval Invincibles’ Dawid Malan has scored 54, 29 & 93* in his last 4 innings.
- Oval Invincibles’ Will Jacks hit five sixes in his 86 off 46 balls against Essex.
- Birmingham Phoenix’s Moeen Ali has scored 59 & 103 in his last 3 innings.
- Birmingham Phoenix’s Jamie Smith has scored 86, 100, 70, 70 & 36 in his last 6 innings.
Head-to-Head
The Phoenix have won all three matches in The Hundred against the Invincibles.
Oval Invincibles Form
The defending champions have beefed up their squad and are looking formidable since their last match, which was the final last year against the Originals at Lord’s.
The Invincibles recovered from 34/5 to post 161/5 off their 100 balls, thanks to magnificent knocks from James Neesham (57* off 33 balls) and Tom Curran (67* off 34 balls).
The Originals chased well but fell 14 runs short, with Will Jacks (15-7-11-2) returning the best bowling figures for the Invincibles.
Oval Invincibles Team News
The Invincibles don’t seem to have a weak link. The worst thing they could do is select the wrong side for an opponent.
Birmingham Phoenix Form
The Phoenix missed out on the playoffs last season, despite winning their last group match of 2023, against the London Spirit.
Ben Duckett (47 off 33 balls) and Jamie Smith (52 off 31 balls) got the Phoenix off to a flying start on their way to a score of 185/5.
Adam Milne (20-10-20-4) and Tanveer Sangha (20-8-15-3) rolled London Spirit for 108 off 89 balls, to end their season with a 77-run win.
Birmingham Phoenix Team News
Ben Duckett is one of the Phoenix’s star players, but he is not available for selection as he is on paternity leave.
Verdict
I am backing Oval Invincibles to win. I am also backing Dawid Malan to top score for Oval Invincibles.
Moeen Ali is a good bet to top score for the Birmingham Phoenix.
