Birmingham Phoenix vs Trent Rockets prediction

You could argue that Birmingham Phoenix having not won the men’s Hundred yet is one of the competition’s biggest surprises when taking into account the sheer power at their disposal from a batting standpoint. From Liam Livingstone, to Ben Duckett, not to mention Will Smeed and Jacob Bethell, they are stacked.

But perhaps the most important player for them will be Trent Boult. Always a reliable wicket-taker with his left-arm pace, Boult could be afforded a lot of success at Edgbaston and hitting him should prove really tough for Trent Rockets. This combination of bowling potency and batting aggression makes Birmingham the team worth backing to down the Rockets.
