BRM vs MCR Match Prediction & Analysis
Birmingham Phoenix will play their last match of the league stage at their home venue in Birmingham. They will be up against Manchester Originals who stand eliminated and can only spoil Birmingham’s chances of the playoff if they win.
The hosts are in sublime form with 3 consecutive wins driven by their bowlers. The visitors, on the other hand, haven’t been impressive with the ball though the batters have shown some promise.
The Originals have been quite expensive with the ball in their recent outings. Skipper Phil Salt has scored two back-to-back fifties and looks in great touch.
For Birmingham Phoenix, Tim Southee, Adam Milne, and Sean Abbott are the match-winners in the bowling attack. These 3 bring plenty of experience and skill to the side and are in great rhythm.
It can be an exciting and close contest between the two teams as Originals, though out of form, feature some high-quality bowlers as well.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Birmingham Phoenix Preview
Moeen Ali must be happy with his team’s recent performance and will be expecting an easy win in this match. The opposition has been quite out of touch with the ball and it presents a great opportunity for the home team to score big.
Ben Duckett and Moeen Ali are the key players for Birmingham Phoenix in the batting department. As openers, they’ve been successful in delivering big starts for the side.
Liam Livingstone is another match-winner at number 4. However, the middle order hasn’t been in the best of form lately with the openers scoring the majority of runs.
As they face a strong Manchester bowling attack that has been struggling to find the rhythm, Moeen Ali and co. will be hoping for their middle order to bounce back.
Given the recent matches on this ground, it seems like the bowlers will be the center of attraction in this game. And Birmingham have got some of the best T20 players in the world.
Southee, Milne, and Abbott form a deadly trio that can put any batting lineup under pressure. These three will be the key bowlers who can change the game. Chris Wood and Benny Howell are other wicket-taking bowlers in this side who could deliver a breakthrough when needed.
BIP Over/Under Betting Tips
Ben Duckett has scores of 30, 54, 43, 92, and 21 in the tournament, amassing 240 runs in five matches. Duckett is in superb form, dismantling every bowling attack he has faced. Given his current form, he is a reliable player to bet on for this contest.
Birmingham Phoenix are a boundary-hitting side, scoring most of their runs in fours. They average 12 fours per game in the tournament and hit 14 fours in their last match against the Trent Rockets. We expect another good outing with the bat from the Phoenix batters and back them to hit over 11.5 fours.
Birmingham Phoenix Predicted Playing XI:
Ben Duckett, Moeen Ali (c), Jamie Smith (wk), Liam Livingstone, Dan Mousley, Jacob Bethell, Benny Howell, Sean Abbott, Adam Milne, Tim Southee, Chris Wood

Manchester Originals Preview
Manchester Originals have nothing to lose as they come to Birmingham for their last match. They’ve won just one game so far and lost 6 in The Men’s Hundred 2024. Phil Salt has been in fine touch lately and will be one to watch out for in this match.
Max Holden is another key batter in the middle order but overall there isn’t any other reliable batter in the side apart from Salt. Matthew Hurst, the skipper’s opening partner scored a fifty against Oval Invincibles while chasing 165.
The two got them off to a brilliant start with an 89-run stand. Paul Walter’s 28 off 14 kept the Originals in the race but eventually, they lost by 3 runs. Fazhalhaq Farooqi’s 3 for 24 helped them win the next match against London Spirit while defending 135 runs.
There haven’t been many match-winning performances from the Originals. They’ve lacked a consolidated team effort in both departments which has resulted in many losses this season.
They are up against a strong Birmingham side and will be facing an uphill battle on the opposition’s home turf. The bowlers will be crucial in this match for Originals and Farooqi will need from Usama Mir, Scott Curie, and Sikandar Raza.
MAO Over/Under Betting Tips
After a disappointing start to the tournament, Phil Salt has returned to his usual best, notching up scores of 61, 58, 34, and 40 in his last four innings. We expect him to continue his good form in today's match and score over 17.5 runs.
Manchester Originals Predicted Playing XI:
Philip Salt (c & wk), Matthew Hurst, Max Holden, Wayne Madsen, Paul Walter, Jamie Overton, Sikandar Raza, Usama Mir, Thomas Aspinwall, Scott Currie, Fazalhaq Farooqi

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There will be cloudy skies in Birmingham on the match day with a high of 21 degrees Celsius. While there is light rain predicted after a couple of hours from the start of the game, it is less likely to affect the match.
BRM vs MCR Pitch Report
It has been a batting-friendly wicket at Edgbaston with many high-scoring matches in The Hundred and the T20 Blast. However, the average 1st innings score in the last 6 games here is 122 runs. The bowlers have enjoyed an upper hand in the recent outings here with batting recurring collapses in the first innings.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
The average total match score in the last three matches played at Edgbaston is 238 runs. Batting has been challenging at this venue, and with the bowling attacks of Birmingham Phoenix and Manchester Originals in good rhythm, another low-scoring game is expected.
Toss: To Bowl
The teams batting first have won 3 of the last 6 matches of The Hundred on this ground. There is no clear advantage for either batting or bowling first. However, the hosts had great success bowling first in their last outings here. Bowling first in this venue's last game of the season will be the right choice.
BRM vs MCR
Winning Prediction
Manchester Originals have nothing to lose and if they play like that, they might pose a tough challenge to the hosts. However, considering the current form and overall squad strengths, Birmingham Phoenix have the upper hand in this contest and will start as favorites to win.
