Birmingham Phoenix vs Trent Rockets Toss Prediction
Birmingham Phoenix are predicted to win the toss and elect to bat first at Edgbaston. The pitch tends to grip and turn as the match progresses, and with dew likely to settle in the second innings, batting first is the calculated call. Phoenix will look to set a 150+ target and let their bowlers, particularly Rehan Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman, do the rest on a used surface.
Edgbaston, Birmingham Pitch Report
Edgbaston, Birmingham
Edgbaston is a batter-friendly surface with true, even bounce that encourages free stroke play, par scores in Hundred cricket here typically sit between 150 and 170. Early overs may offer some movement for pace bowlers, but once set, batters can play their natural game. The surface tends to slow as the match progresses, bringing spin into the equation and making this Birmingham Phoenix vs Trent Rockets encounter a contest that could shift with every ten-ball set.
Weather Report
Birmingham in late July typically sees mild temperatures ranging between 20°C and 24°C, with settled evening conditions expected at Edgbaston. Dew is likely to factor into the second innings, potentially reducing grip for spinners and aiding batters chasing a target. Significant rain interruptions are not forecast, meaning a full 100-ball contest is on the cards, and that dew factor may well tip the balance in favour of whichever team bats second.

Birmingham Phoenix vs Trent Rockets Team Preview & Squads
Birmingham Phoenix
Donovan Ferreira is arguably Phoenix’s most complete cricketer, capable of changing a game with the bat, in the field, or through tactical astuteness. His leadership will be critical in a match that the perfectly balanced head-to-head record suggests is genuinely 50/50 before a ball is bowled. Ferreira is also Phoenix’s predicted key all-rounder, adding another layer of matchup value.
Will Smeed is tipped as Phoenix’s top run-scorer and the man most likely to clear the ropes, he is the predicted top six-hitter for BP in this fixture. Joe Clarke provides the middle-order solidity that The Hundred format demands, ensuring Phoenix can rebuild quickly if they lose early wickets.
Mustafizur Rahman brings international pedigree and deceptive variation as Phoenix’s predicted top wicket-taker. Rehan Ahmed is the X-factor, his leg-spin claimed 3/15 in the most recent meeting between these sides, earning him the Player of the Match award. Together, they form a formidable attack.
Birmingham Phoenix Squad:
Birmingham Phoenix
Donovan Ferreira, Ethan Brookes, Joe Clarke, Scott Currie, Sean Dickson, Laurie Evans, Tom Helm, Saqib Mahmood, Matthew Montgomery, Mustafizur Rahman, Mitchell Owen, Rehan Ahmed, Will Smeed, Jordan Thompson, Usman Tariq, Chris Wood
Trent Rockets
Sam Billings leads Trent Rockets with the sting of last season’s final defeat, a 26-run loss to Oval Invincibles, still fresh. A composed, experienced campaigner, Billings will look to re-establish Rockets as genuine Hundred title contenders in 2026. His decision-making at the toss and during key moments could prove decisive in a match this evenly balanced.
Finn Allen at the top is a nightmare proposition for any bowling attack, explosive, fearless, and capable of dismantling a total inside the powerplay. Ben Duckett adds the crucial left-handed dimension in this BP vs TR preview and is predicted to be both TR’s top scorer and leading six-hitter, giving Rockets a top order that demands respect.
Lewis Gregory provides TR with genuine all-round value, while Danny Briggs is the experienced spinner who can tie batters down in the middle overs. Matt Henry leads the pace attack and is the predicted top wicket-taker, his ability to exploit early movement at Edgbaston will be key to keeping Phoenix’s total in check.

Sam Billings, Finn Allen, Tom Banton, Danny Briggs, Brad Currie, Tim David, Aneurin Donald, Ben Duckett, Lewis Gregory, Calvin Harrison, Matt Henry, Louis Kimber, Ben Mayes, Mohammad Amir, Dan Mousley, Craig Overton, Ben Raine, Ben Sanderson, Mitchell Santner
