Birmingham Phoenix Women Preview
The Birmingham Phoenix Women have struggled to find rhythm, winning just one of their four matches. Their batting has lacked fluency, with reliance on Emma Lamb, Georgia Voll, Ellyse Perry, and Amy Jones to provide stability. In the last match, Em Arlott impressed with 32* runs, while Sterre Kalis supported with 24*. Marie Kelly and Georgia Voll chipped in with cameos, but none of the top-order batters carried on to post a big score.
The bowling department, featuring Perry, Megan Schutt, Millie Taylor, and Hannah Baker, has shown glimpses of brilliance. Arlott and Taylor picked up one wicket each in the previous game, but they need to maintain consistency. Phoenix must address their middle-over struggles to stand a chance against a spirited London Spirit lineup.
Predicted XI: Georgia Voll, Emma Lamb, Marie Kelly, Ellyse Perry (c), Amy Jones (wk), Ailsa Lister, Sterre Kalis, Em Arlott, Megan Schutt, Millie Taylor, Hannah Baker
London Spirit Women Preview
London Spirit Women also enter this clash on the back of a defeat, but they have shown more balance in their squad. Their batting strength lies with Grace Harris, Charli Knott, Cordelia Griffith, and Danielle Gibson. In the last match, Knott led with 33 runs, supported by Griffith (20) and Chathli (19). The batting unit has depth, but the side must avoid collapses during pressure situations.
On the bowling side, London Spirit Women possess a strong unit with Eva Gray, Sarah Glenn, Charlotte Dean, Issy Wong, and Rebecca Tyson. Eva Gray’s 4/19 in the last game highlighted her wicket-taking ability. With Charlotte Dean providing leadership and Glenn’s leg-spin in the middle overs, the Spirit have a well-rounded attack capable of dismantling Phoenix’s fragile batting order.
Predicted XI: Kira Chathli, Georgia Redmayne (wk), Danielle Gibson, Grace Harris, Charli Knott, Cordelia Griffith, Issy Wong, Charlotte Dean (c), Sarah Glenn, Eva Gray, Rebecca Tyson

Favourite Team Today (Why)
London Spirit Women enter this fixture as favourites due to their stronger bowling attack and the presence of power hitters like Grace Harris and Charli Knott. Their balance between bat and ball gives them a slight edge over the Phoenix, who have struggled to stitch partnerships and apply scoreboard pressure. London Spirit’s depth in all-round options means they can adapt to different match situations better than Phoenix. Furthermore, Eva Gray’s form adds a cutting edge to their bowling. Unless Ellyse Perry produces a match-winning all-round performance, Birmingham Phoenix Women might find it difficult to overcome London Spirit.
