THE PREDICTION
Birmingham Phoenix, last year’s beaten finalists will be looking to go one step further this year and boast the foundations within their team that should see them challenge once again, especially with the bat. However, their bowling line-up has been dogged by injuries and players such as Chris Woakes and Olly Stone are set to miss the tournament, which will hurt Moeen Ali’s side. Trent Rockets finished in a respectable third-place last year, after losing out in the Eliminator to eventual winners Southern Brave. A strong local core underpins their squad with the likes of Alex Hales, Samit Patel and Matt Carter expected to be important figures in the team. Rashid Khan adds a world class point of difference to the bowling, but his availability for this contest is uncertain with Afghanistan in T20i action just three days later. Key to this encounter is likely to be the power-hitting capabilities of Birmingham Pheonix’s top order, particularly on a batter-friendly ground such as Trent Bridge. Liam Livingstone, last year’s Men’s Hundred MVP alongside skipper Moeen and opener Will Smeed should thrive in a fixture such as this and with that in mind, backing a Birmingham Phoenix victory appears the shrewd play.
