Southern Brave are favorites to win
Wednesday’s fixture in the Men’s Hundred sees Birmingham Phoenix and Southern Brave meet for the first time since contesting last year’s final. Birmingham Phoenix, who finished as runners-up in 2021, lost their opening game this season to Trent Rockets. Southern Brave began their 2022 campaign with a win over Welsh Fire. Read on as we preview Match 7. The game gets underway at Edgbaston at 18:30 local time.
After being one of the top teams in last year’s tournament, Birmingham Phoenix have a tough game against the reigning champions to try and get their season up and running.
Southern Brave were utterly dominant against a weak Welsh Fire side in their first game and will be full of confidence with memories of last year’s final. However, expect Birmingham Phoenix to be tough opponents.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Cricket.
The Hundred 2022 Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on SkyGo, the BBC iPlayer and the FanCode App.
London Spirit went against convention and chose to bat first at Lord’s on Monday evening. They also won the game which could prompt others to change their approach. However, we are backing both teams to field first.
After being used for the Women’s Cricket in the Commonwealth Games last week, expect a slowish pitch but one which will turn. The outfield will be quick.
With the UK continuing to enjoy hot and fine weather throughout the summer, expect the temperature to remain above 25 degrees from start to finish at Edgbaston.

After losing to Trent Rockets, there will be calls for Birmingham Phoenix to ring the changes ahead of this match but we expect Daniel Vettori and the management to keep faith with their previously strong group of players. Expect Matthew Wade to come into the side after being unavailable for the game in Nottingham.
Birmingham Phoenix were in excellent form until they lost the 2021 Final. They desperately need a win to get themselves going again.
Will Smeed, Matthew Wade, Moeen Ali (c), Liam Livingstone, Dan Mousley, Chris Benjamin (wk), Benny Howell, Graeme van Buuren, Tom Helm , Kane Richardson, Imran Tahir
The 2021 Champions are never satisfied and will bring Quinton de Kock into their line-up ahead of this game. The South African keeper-batter was playing for his country against Ireland in the IT20 series so missed the opening day win over Welsh Fire.
Not only are Southern Brave the reigning champions but they are also the form team of the competition at the moment. They have not lost since the early part of last season.

Southern Brave did not only beat Birmingham Phoenix at Lord’s in the 2021 Final but also beat them in the group stage. They won by four wickets and by 48 runs in the respective games.

Southern Brave did not only beat Birmingham Phoenix at Lord’s in the 2021 Final but also beat them in the group stage. They won by four wickets and by 48 runs in the respective games.
The bookies fancy Southern Brave to make it three wins from three against Birmingham Phoenix.
We are backing Liam Livingstone, Matthew Wade and Will Smeed with the bat for Birmingham Phoenix. Wade missed the opening game through illness but we expect him to be fully fit for this match.
James Vince, Quinton de Kock and Tim David are our batting recommendations for Southern Brave. David is a fine white-ball batter who relishes the finisher role.
Imran Tahir, Adam Milne and Kane Richardson are our picks with the ball for Birmingham Phoenix. Richardson is searching for his first wicket in The Hundred and would love to do it in front of the home fans.
We expect Tymal Mills, Chris Jordan and Jake Lintott to star with the ball for Southern Brave. Lintott knows this pitch very well and picked up plenty of wickets here for Birmingham Bears in the 2022 T20 Blast.
.
This fixture will undoubtedly bring back memories for the players and fans of the final at Lord’s last summer. We wait to see if Birmingham Phoenix can channel their disappointment into something positive or if Southern Brave will feel they already have the beating of them. We are predicting a high scoring game with Southern Brave getting the win.
