- Birmingham Phoenix have won three of their last four games
- Southern Brave’s have played the bottom three teams this season
- Recommended bet: Birmingham Phoenix

Both of these teams have won two and lost one of their three games so far and look likely to be involved at the business end of the campaign if they hold their form.

Southern Brave picked up a win against Manchester Originals last time out, while Birmingham Phoenix edged past Trent Rockets in a thriller, so a victory for both teams will be keen to maintain their momentum at Edgbaston on Saturday.

Team news

Jamie Smith and Chris Woakes could return for the Phoenix, which would likely mean that Aneurin Donald and Louis Kimber would miss out.

England paceman Jofra Archer missed out last time out for the Brave and it is unclear what his status is for this game. Finn Allen has suffered a fractured toe and will be absent, he has been replaced by Andre Fletcher.

The stats

Birmingham Phoenix's Dan Mousley took two wickets and conceded just three runs from the final 10 balls of their win over Trent Rockets last time out.

Jacob Bethell has made scores of 22, 43 and 46 not out so far in this year’s tournament.

Prediction

Birmingham Phoenix stuttered in their opening game against Oval Invincibles, who have looked hard to stop in this year’s The Hundred.

The Phoenix have bounced back with two wins on the spin and they look value to add to that tally.

The arrival of Ben Duckett has added to their already impressive batting unit and Jamie Smith and Chris Woakes could add more England star quality for this game.

Youngsters Dan Mousley and Jacob Bethell have started to stamp their authority on this tournament with some impressive performances with bat and ball, while Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone remain a formidable power-hitting duo.

They face a Southern Brave team that are highly rated by the odds compilers after winning two of their first three games.

However, they have faced the bottom three in the table as it stands and they struggled against the Northern Superchargers’ bowling attack.

The Phoenix have a similar bowling attack in many ways and taking pace off will be key in this one.

With Birmingham on home soil and arguably in better form, it is hard to see why they are not favourites for this clash.
