Birmingham Phoenix Women Preview
Birmingham Phoenix Women enter this match under immense pressure, having lost their last four fixtures. The major concern is their batting, which has failed repeatedly. Skipper Ellyse Perry has struggled for consistency, although her 29 off 16 balls against Oval Invincibles showed glimpses of form. Emma Lamb and Georgia Voll will be key at the top of the order, while Amy Jones and Marie Kelly provide middle-order stability.
On the bowling side, Em Arlott has been the standout performer with 6 wickets in her last three games. Megan Schutt continues to deliver with the new ball, while Hannah Baker and Georgia Voll add depth. For Birmingham, finding runs at the top and capitalizing on their bowling attack will be the deciding factor at Edgbaston.
Probable XI (Phoenix):
Georgia Voll, Emma Lamb, Marie Kelly, Ellyse Perry (c), Amy Jones (wk), Ailsa Lister, Em Arlott, Mary Taylor, Megan Schutt, Hannah Baker, Phoebe Brett
Welsh Fire Women Preview
Welsh Fire Women are winless this season, and batting remains their biggest headache. While Jess Jonassen starred with a 4-wicket haul against Southern Brave, the team’s batting crumbled. Openers Hayley Matthews and Sophia Dunkley need to deliver, as skipper Tammy Beaumont has been struggling badly.
The middle order, featuring Georgia Elwiss, Jonassen, and Sarah Bryce, must anchor the innings and add runs. Fire’s bowling attack looks solid with Shabnim Ismail providing pace and control, while Georgia Davis and Katie Levick add spin options. If their batting improves, Welsh Fire could finally break the losing streak.
Probable XI (Fire):
Sophia Dunkley, Hayley Matthews, Tammy Beaumont (c), Georgia Elwiss, Jess Jonassen, Sarah Bryce (wk), Katie George, Georgia Davis, Freya Davies, Shabnim Ismail, Katie Levick

Favourite Team in Today’s Match
Birmingham Phoenix Women look slightly stronger coming into this match. While both teams are struggling, Phoenix have the advantage of home conditions and a bowling attack that has been more consistent. The presence of experienced international stars like Ellyse Perry and Megan Schutt provides stability. Moreover, their batting failures have often been due to poor shot selection rather than lack of ability, meaning a turnaround is always possible.
In contrast, Welsh Fire’s batting unit appears broken, with no one stepping up at the top order. Unless they see a sudden change in form from Dunkley or Matthews, their chances remain slim. Considering Phoenix’s slightly more balanced side and their motivation to end their losing streak at home, they are the favourites to win this encounter.
