Phoenix have the means to take on any opponent because of their potent top order, adaptable middle order, and bowling team full of experience and diversity.

Here is the predicted Birmingham Phoenix XI for match 7 of The Hundred Men’s 2025:

Top Order: Ben Duckett, Will Smeed, Jacob Bethell

Ben Duckett, Will Smeed, and Jacob Bethell make up a potent top order. Duckett maintains a rapid scoring pace with his reliable run-making while Bethell’s poise enables him to adjust to match circumstances, whether it is stabilising after early wickets or accelerating in the powerplay. Smeed’s explosive hitting gives early energy, frightening bowlers from the start. They can help the rest of the batting unit to large totals by providing a combination of stability and firepower.

Middle Order: Liam Livingstone (C), Aneurin Donald (WK), Joe Clarke

Joe Clarke, Aneurin Donald, and Liam Livingstone all contribute variety and the ability to win games. Livingstone’s ability to change the game with both bat and ball and his all-around presence as captain guarantees balance in the team.  Donald is a useful dual-role player who brings aggressive batting and astute wicketkeeping to the table. With his rapid runs in the middle overs, Clarke can change the tide and provide more firepower.

Lower Order: Tim Southee, Adam Milne

In addition to their bowling brilliance, the batting skills of the Kiwi duo Tim Southee and Adam Milne bolster the lower order. In stressful situations, Southee’s international experience could come in handy while Milne’s raw speed makes him a danger for the oppositions. Both are also capable of scoring important runs down the order.

Bowlers: Trent Boult, Chris Wood, Liam Patterson-White

Liam Patterson-White, Chris Wood, and Trent Boult lead a strong and diverse bowling attack. Boult’s left-arm swing frequently results in early breakthroughs, which puts opponents at a disadvantage right away. Wood is suitable for death overs since he brings lethal yorkers and scorching pace. Particularly when facing right-hand heavy line-ups, Patterson-White’s left-arm spin offers variation and the capacity to control runs.
