Birmingham Phoenix vs London Spirit Match Prediction & Betting Tips, The Hundred 2023
Match 32 of the 2023 Men’s Hundred sees Birmingham Phoenix take on London Spirit at Edgbaston on Thursday evening. Birmingham Phoenix are bottom of the table and can finish no higher than sixth place. London Spirit could finish on eight points which may be enough for a top three spot. Read on as we preview this final group stage game of this season. The match begins in Birmingham at 18:30 local time.
Birmingham Phoenix have had a very poor run of results during the 2023 Men’s Hundred and have been well beaten in four of their five completed fixtures.
London Spirit have been inconsistent all season but when their top players perform to a high level they can be very hard to stop with both bat and ball.

Birmingham Phoenix Team News & Playing 11
BPH Team News
Ahead of their last match against Southern Brave in Match 22, Birmingham Phoenix made one change to their line-up with Australian spinner Tanveer Sangha coming in for young English batting all-rounder Dan Mousley. We expect Sangha to be selected for this match.
BPH Key Players
- Jamie Smith - The 23 year old hit four boundaries in his last innings. He has come into the team and outscored many of his bigger name team-mates.
- Moeen Ali - The all-rounder and captain of the team has not been at his best during the tournament but has still picked up key wickets and made some important scores with the bat.
- Adam Milne - The 31 year old New Zealand right-arm fast bowler got the wickets of Joe Root and Sam Hain in the defeat to Trent Rockets in Match 25.
BPH Team Form
Birmingham Phoenix lost four of their last five matches picking up only one victory during that run of games.

London Spirit Team News & Playing 11
LNS Team News
After beating the Northern Superchargers by 13 runs in Match 24 at Lord’s on Friday, London Spirit selected the same XI for their trip to Cardiff to play Welsh Fire on Sunday. Although they lost in Wales, we expect the same team to be picked for this visit to Birmingham.
LNS Key Players
- Adam Rossington - The powerful and experienced keeper-batter is an underrated player in English cricket. He has hit 10 sixes across the competition so far.
- Ravi Bopara - The former England international all-rounder continues to contribute in this campaign. He hit 24 not out from 20 balls to take his team to a competitive score in the last game.
- Dan Worrall - The 32 year old Australian fast medium bowler dismissed Stephen Eskinazi, Luke Wells and Joe Clarke against Welsh Fire and was unfortunate to end on the losing side.
LNS Team Form
London Spirit lost their last match of The Hundred 2023 and have won only two games all season.
London Spirit Predicted Playing 11
Zak Crawley, Adam Rossington (wk), Dan Lawrence (c), Matthew Wade, Daryl Mitchell, Ravi Bopara, Matt Critchley, Liam Dawson, Jordan Thompson, Nathan Ellis, Dan Worrall

This match brings the 2023 Men’s Hundred group stage to a close and we expect that both teams will want to finish with an attacking contest.
