Birmingham Phoenix Team News & Playing 11
BPH Team News
There has still been no confirmation on whether captain Moeen Ali will come into the Birmingham Phoenix side after missing the opening game. If, as expected, he is rested, then Benny Howell will continue to lead the team with Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes also missing the match.
BPH Key Players
- Ben Duckett - The left-hander loves to get bat on ball in the long-format and has a range of shots perfect for The Hundred. He is a very consistent short-format run scorer.
- Will Smeed - The right-handed opener hit four fours against Northern Superchargers. He returns to Edgbaston for this game, the scene of his hundred in the tournament last year.
- Kane Richardson - The 32 year old right-arm fast medium Australian international has taken six 4-wicket hauls in T20 cricket across his career and will get good carry on this surface.
BPH Team Form
Birmingham Phoenix saw two players dismissed for ducks against Northern Superchargers but overall the batting was impressive before their game was ended early on Thursday.
