These are the likely lineups. Both are confirmed at the toss.

Key Player Battles

Ben Duckett vs Chris Wood: Duckett likes to fly out of the blocks, and Wood, Phoenix’s most reliable wicket taker this season, will look to get him early with the new ball.

Tim David vs Rehan Ahmed: David finishes games in a hurry, and Rehan’s leg spin in the middle overs is exactly the kind of bowling that can slow him down before he gets going.

Joe Clarke vs Mitchell Santner: Clarke has been Phoenix’s most consistent batter, and Santner’s clever left arm spin gives Trent Rockets control in the middle overs.

Billings gets the captaincy as the leader of the form side, a keeper batter who bats up the order. Clarke is vice captain as Phoenix’s most in form batter. The rest of the team mixes both top orders with the main bowlers, since this ground has been fairly even between bat and ball.

For grand leagues, try Rehan Ahmed as captain. He’s a wicket taking leg spinner who won’t be picked as much as the bigger batting names. David as vice captain gives you a finisher who can win the game in a few balls. Scott Currie and Laurie Evans are cheap picks who could still contribute with bat or ball.

Birmingham Phoenix have shown they can beat this exact opponent when they click, and Edgbaston has been kind to their batting before, but their season has been inconsistent everywhere else. Trent Rockets are the clear pick, though Phoenix have already proven once this season that they have the tools to cause an upset.
