Southern Brave vs Birmingham Phoenix – Match 13

The 13th Match of The Hundred Mens Competition 2026 will see Southern Brave take on Birmingham Phoenix on Thursday, July 30, at The Rose Bowl, Southampton. The match is scheduled to begin at 6:30 PM local time (5:30 PM GMT / 11:00 PM IST).

Southern Brave have a strong batting lineup featuring Jamie Smith, Ben McKinney, Thomas Rew, David Miller and Tristan Stubbs. Jamie Smith can provide an attacking start, while Miller brings plenty of experience and finishing ability. Stubbs is another dangerous middle-order batter who can score quickly and change the momentum of the match.

Southern Brave also have quality all-round options in Marcus Stoinis, Chris Jordan, Nikhil Chaudhary and Saif Zaib. Stoinis offers powerful batting and useful seam bowling, while captain Chris Jordan provides experience with the ball and valuable runs in the lower order. Their versatility gives Southern Brave good balance.

The Brave bowling attack includes Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood, Daniel Worrall and Chris Jordan. Archer provides genuine pace and can be dangerous with the new ball and at the death. Rashid is a major wicket-taking option through the middle phase, while Wood and Worrall add further pace-bowling depth.

Birmingham Phoenix have an aggressive batting lineup consisting of Will Smeed, Joe Clarke, Rehan Ahmed, Laurie Evans, Donovan Ferreira, Mitchell Owen and Sean Dickson. Smeed can attack from the beginning, while Clarke provides another strong option at the top. Captain Ferreira brings powerful hitting in the middle order and can accelerate quickly.

The Phoenix have useful all-round options in Rehan Ahmed, Donovan Ferreira and Mitchell Owen. Rehan can contribute with both bat and leg-spin, while Owen offers batting power and seam-bowling support. Ferreira also gives Birmingham extra flexibility through his aggressive batting.

Birmingham’s bowling attack features Ben Dwarshuis, Scott Currie, Saqib Mahmood, Usman Tariq, Rehan Ahmed and Mitchell Owen. Mahmood can create problems with his pace, while Dwarshuis offers a left-arm option. Rehan and Tariq provide important spin choices during the middle stages.

The Rose Bowl in Southampton can offer assistance to both pace and spin bowlers. Fast bowlers may find movement with the new ball, especially under suitable conditions, while the larger boundaries can make timing and shot selection important. Spinners can also become effective as the surface slows down.

Both teams have powerful batting lineups and several quality bowling options. Southern Brave appear slightly stronger because of their experienced international players, strong pace attack and the presence of Adil Rashid in the spin department. Birmingham Phoenix, however, have enough aggressive batters and all-round options to make this a competitive contest.

Expert Prediction: Southern Brave have a 55% chance and Birmingham Phoenix have a 45% winning chance.
