Birmingham Phoenix suffered a massive loss to probably the best-looking team in the men's Hundred 2024, the Southern Brave, but will hope to pick themselves back against another strong side in the Northern Superchargers. The Superchargers are on a three-match winning streak and with Ben Stokes set to return to the Hundred after three years, the Men in Purple will be confident of continuing their winning momentum against the Phoenix outfit, which has blown hot and cold.
Phoenix will need their inconsistent batting line-up to get their act together and fire as a unit as already half of the tournament is done and games are coming thick and fast. If the Phoenix have to challenge those top three spots, they will need their batters to fire as their bowling still has been able to do the job more or less. Jamie Smith, now the Test wicketkeeper will return to the side, and the Phoenix will hope that it adds depth to their line-up.
The Superchargers will have their selection decisions to make with Ben Stokes set to return. Stokes returning will mean that Ben Dwarshuis will not be able to feature and hence Matt Short might return to the side. Matt Potts' emergence as a potent death bowling option has one of the stories of the season for the Superchargers as he is single-handedly closing games with the ball for Harry Brook and Co.
