Probable best batter of the match

Moeen Ali— Birmingham Phoenix  

Moeen Ali, the Phoenix’s skipper, has performed to expectations in the ongoing edition of the Hundred. In two matches, Ali has notched 55 runs at an average of 27.50 and a strike rate of 114.58. The left-hander has already gotten a score of 40 and should be high on confidence. Moeen is also the most economical bowler for the Phoenix and he has to be on top of his game.

Probable best bowler of the match

Ben Howell— Birmingham Phoenix

Ben Howell is a veteran of T20 cricket and he brings a lot of utility to the fore. The right-arm fast bowler has performed for the Phoenix as well. He is currently the leading wicket-taker for his team with three scalps from two matches at a rate of 1.17. Howell bowls at the death and gets a lot of wickets with his clever change in pace. Howell can hit the big shots as well.

Today’s match prediction: Birmingham Phoenix to win the match.
