Birmingham Phoenix and London Spirit will clash in the 18th match of The Hundred Men’s 2025 on August 17, 2025, at the Edgbaston ground in Birmingham.

London Spirit is placed fifth on the points table with two wins from four games. Spirit will come into this game with a huge win over Trent Rockets, and this has boosted their chances to qualify for the knockout stage as well. Now facing Birmingham Phoenix, the Spirit has the chance to continue their winning ways and move up the points table.

Here is the predicted London Spirit XI for match 18 of The Hundred Men’s 2025:

Top Order: Jamie Smith (WK), David Warner, Kane Williamson (C)

Jamie Smith was promoted to opening the batting and made 52 runs to give his team a huge win. He has 90 runs in three games now with a strike rate of 157.89. David Warner has the most runs with 156 runs with two fifties and a best of 71. Kane Williamson moved to his preferred no. 3 spot and has 87 runs in four games with a best of 45.

Middle Order: Ashton Turner, Ollie Pope, Sean Dickinson

Ashton Turner has scored 88 runs in four games with a strike rate of 172.54 and has one wicket with his spin. Ollie Pope made 19 runs in two games, and it will be best to see him bat up the order more and score quickly. Sean Dickinson has 16 runs in two games, playing only 12 balls across these matches.

Lower Order: Jamie Overton, Liam Dawson

Jamie Overton has smashed 23 runs with a strike rate of 176.92 and has four wickets at economy of 7.90 with the ball. Liam Dawson is the safe bet with both the bat and the ball. He has four wickets in four games at an impressive economy of 7.20, but he has not got the opportunities to showcase his batting skills.

Bowlers: Luke Wood, Richard Gleeson, Daniel Worrall

Luke Wood might continue to get chances despite one wicket in three games, given that he brings swing at a high pace. Richard Gleeson has four wickets in four games so far, and his variations with height advantage make him stand apart. Daniel Worrall has the most wickets with five scalps with a best of 2/31 and is the best pacer for the Spirit.
