If you have been keeping up with The Hundred 2025, you will already know it has been a showcase of boundaries, bat flips, and wonderful chaos. And now, with Birmingham Phoenix ready to take on Trent Rockets in match 4, the attention turns to batters who can turn the game in a moment. Whether you are a stats nerd or someone who simply likes to watch sixes rain down like confetti, this game is going to have fireworks – and we have three names that you will want to watch. These batters have already shown their form, flair, and fire, and in a head-to-head match, they may just be the difference makers.
Ben Duckett: BP

Ben Duckett isn’t just in form, he is in full beast mode, Hyabusa! Driving to 316 runs at an amazing strike rate of 166.31, he has been batting as if he has a dinner reservation in 20 balls or less. Duckett has certainly found the boundary, but being as dangerous as he is, he has also made it look effortless, and has a combination of control and confidence. From down-stepping against spinners to ramping pace balls over fine leg, he is the kind of batter that doesn’t give bowlers a second’s rest. With a Rockets attack that appears to be vulnerable at a sticky time, Duckett may be the one buzzing the scoreboard once again.
Jacob Bethell: BP

While Ben Duckett provides the experience, Jacob Bethell provides the youthful confidence. Bethell’s 166 runs have come not with a bang, but a prolonged murmur like a tortoise reading poetry mid-run chase. He is not a name that jumps out as a big-hitting wicket-taker, but Bethell’s timing and cricketing brain give Birmingham Phoenix a seriously underrated weapon. He can anchor your innings—or attack if required. If the Rockets focus solely on Duckett, then Bethell can go under the radar and produce a match-winning innings. Bethell is a player who can build or finish—we love that versatility in T20.
Tom Banton: TR

Tom Banton is a cricketing rollercoaster. When he is in full effect, it is carnage. From classic elegance to cricketing chaos, every shot screamed rebellion against the textbook. He has 211 runs at a strike rate close to 150 this season, and I think it is safe to say that whenever he gets a chance to go big, he doesn’t wait for a second invitation! It isn’t just the shots he plays, but the intent behind them. In a match-up with Phoenix, where early momentum is key, Banton’s opening blitz could blow Birmingham away early or leave Trent Rockets fielding side-to-side to play catch-up. Either way, Banton in full voice is just pure entertainment.
There is no doubt that these three attacking batters will attract attention in a game with likely explosive consequences. Duckett is a player with plenty of ferocity, Bethell demonstrates having almost too much brains for his good, while Banton is a player that carries plenty of boom – whether you are a Phoenix or Rockets fan, this is surely an encounter that will be anything but a slow-burn. So, grab the popcorn, refresh the fantasy team, and enjoy a display of batting excellence.
