Both teams returned to winning ways by inserting the opposition in their last games. We expect whichever captain who wins the toss to do the same in this game.
BIP vs OI Pitch Report
No team has breached 150 at Edgbaston in the Men’s Hundred yet. Judging by the batting ability on both sides, this could be a game where both teams do so. Adil Rashid had the most success in Sunday’s game in Birmingham.

Birmingham Phoenix Team News & Playing 11
BIP Team News
England have always enjoyed playing in front of a full-house at Edgbaston and, until recently, had a very strong record at the ground. Birmingham Phoenix also seem to be getting the benefits of playing in front of their partisan supporters. Patrick Brown made his first appearance on Sunday and should be retained in the XI.
BIP Key Players
- Finn Allen- the New Zealand opener impressed with 6 boundaries in his 43 against Trent Rockets. He shared in an opening partnership of 60 from 22 balls.
- Liam Livingstone- England’s big hitter has had a summer to remember and hit 23 not-out from only 12 balls on Sunday. He scares the opposition bowlers from the moment he arrives at the crease.
- Adam Milne- the New Zealand bowler has looked at ease in this format from the start. He has 7 wickets and is yet to concede more than 18 runs in a game.
Birmingham Phoenix will need to pick up some wins on the road if they are to progress in the Hundred tournament. However, at Edgbaston they are a force to be reckoned with.

Oval Invincibles Team News & Playing 11
OI Team News
The 6 wicket win over Welsh Fire means that Oval Invincibles have a 100% record in front of their home fans in South London. However on the road they are yet to pick up a win. The team looked well balanced on Monday evening and we expect to see an unchanged side in this match.
OI Key Players
- Jason Roy- there are very few batters who can match Jason Roy’s power and clean hitting at the top of the order in this tournament. He already has a half-century in the tournament.
- Sam Billings- the wicket-keeper batsman is enjoying the responsibility of captaincy and has hit two scores of 40+ at the Kia Oval. He and his team now need to perform in away fixtures.
- Tom Curran- the often maligned England bowler is full of variations and never afraid to try something new with the ball. He has 4 wickets in his last two games in the Hundred.
Home wins will only get Oval Invincibles so far in the tournament. But they can consider themselves unlucky to have been rained off at Lord’s and have a strong side.
Oval Invincibles Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Jordan Clark, Colin Ingram, Sam Billings (c) (wk), Laurie Evans, Sunil Narine, Tom Curran, Tabraiz Shamsi, Reece Topley, Saqib Mahmood

The records of both sides would suggest a comfortable home win with Oval Invincibles still yet to taste victory on the road. However, they are a strong team and only one point off the top of the group. All things considered, we are predicting another home victory, although by a small margin, for Birmingham Phoenix.
