BRM vs LDN Match Prediction & Analysis
London Spirit will take on Birmingham Phoenix at Edgbaston in their last league-stage game of The Hundred 2023. A win here would push them to the top 4 in the points table keeping them alive in the race to playoffs.
The home team is already eliminated with just one win from 7 matches and are sitting at the bottom of the points table. The only win for the Phoenix came in their last home game where they defended 160 runs.
In spite of a mighty batting lineup that features Will Smeed and Ben Duckett at the top and Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali in the middle order, Birmingham Phoenix have failed to make a big impact.
While London Spirit are coming into this match from a loss, they’ve got a solid bowling attack with Daniel Worral, Liam Dawson, and Ravi Bopara in a great rhythm.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Birmingham Phoenix Preview
Birmingham Phoenix will be out in front of the home crowd for one last time this season. It has been a very disappointing season with just one win coming their way from 7 matches.
At home, they’ve won 1 of the two matches and are coming into this match on the back of two consecutive losses. It is not just the losses but the way Birmingham have lost each of these games that has let the fans down.
With the kind of batting firepower they have and the depth in the lineup, finishing for 116-9 in 100 balls while chasing a 163-run target isn’t expected of them.
And prior to that, Birmingham Phoenix finished with 119-8 batting first at The Rose Bowl against Southern Brave. Two utterly underwhelming performances after a resounding win at home are indicative of the kind of season Phoenix have had.
The openers have been inconsistent and even when they get off to a good start, the middle-order has let them down. Jamie Smith and Livingstone at 3 and 4 will be crucial to get the ball rolling.
A strong partnership between these two is necessary to set the stage for the batters that will follow lower down the order. They’ve got Chris Benjamin, Benny Howell, and Chris Woakes to follow Moeen Ali in the lower order.
Chris Woakes and Adam Milne will be leading the pace attack for the home team. They’ve got great from the likes of Kane Richardson and Benny Howell.
Birmingham Phoenix Predicted Playing XI:
Will Smeed, Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith (wk), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali (c), Chris Benjamin, Benny Howell, Chris Woakes, Adam Milne, Kane Richardson, Tanveer Sangha

London Spirit Preview
London Spirit will be disappointed after their recent loss that came at a terrible time. A win there would have ensured their entry to the top 4 but now they are in a do-or-die situation in their last match.
Though they are up against the bottom-placed side, they need to bring their A-game to Edgbaston. There are many talented players in every department in the opposition and London Spirit need their key players in the best of form.
Skipper Dan Lawrence has struggled at number 3 in recent outings and his lack of form is a big concern for London Spirit.
The middle and lower middle order have some big names like Matthew Wade, Daryl Mitchell, and Ravi Bopara who can deliver a strong finish. Another strong batter in the lower order is batting all-rounder Matthew Critchley at number 7.
The list of all-rounders in this side is long and that allows for great depth in the batting lineup with even Liam Dawson delivering a few balls out of the park at the death.
Opener Adam Rossington played a few good knocks before failing in the last innings. If he gets back in form, the visitors can have a good start and potentially a strong partnership in the top order.
Liam Dawson and Daniel Worrall are in fine rhythm with the ball and are consistently finding success. These two will be key bowlers along with Ravi Bopara, an experienced all-rounder.
London Spirit Predicted Playing XI:
Zak Crawley, Adam Rossington (wk), Daniel Lawrence (c), Matthew Wade, Daryl Mitchell, Ravi Bopara, Matthew Critchley, Jordan Thompson, Liam Dawson, Nathan Ellis, Daniel Worrall

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions

BRM vs LDN Pitch Report
Edgbaston, Birmingham will be the venue for the Birmingham Phoenix vs London Spirit match. The rain would clear out by the time of the match and it will be cloudy and we can expect a full match. The average 1st innings score here in T20s has been 163 runs and in this format, we reckon, the same would be a match-winning total on this ground.
Toss: To Bowl
While both teams are coming into this match after a dismal batting performance, having runs on the board will be the right way to go. It is not difficult to score runs at this venue and if the team batting first can get over 145-150 runs, they would be in a commanding position.
BRM vs LDN
Winning Prediction
While both teams are troubled by inconsistencies, the visitors have some hope given their batters have made some significant contributions in recent outings. Their bowlers are also in good touch and have been consistent with wickets. The hosts are at their lowest point in this league and London Spirit will start with an edge, and hence, as our favorites to win this match.
