These are the likely lineups. Both are confirmed at the toss.
Key Player Battles
Harry Brook vs Chris Wood: Brook is in the form of his life, and Wood, Phoenix’s most reliable wicket taker this season, gives them their best chance of getting him early.
Joe Clarke vs Matthew Potts: Clarke has been Phoenix’s most consistent batter, and Potts swinging the new ball is a real early threat.
Mitchell Marsh vs Rehan Ahmed: Marsh hits the ball hard and clean, and Rehan’s leg spin in the middle overs is the kind of bowling that can slow him down before he gets going.
BP vs SRL Fantasy Team: Small League

Wicket-Keepers: Joe Clarke, Tom Alsop,
Batters: Harry Brook (C), Will Smeed, Zak Crawley,
All-Rounders: Mitchell Marsh, Rehan Ahmed (VC),
Bowlers: Chris Wood, Matthew Potts, Abrar Ahmed, Saqib Mahmood,
Brook gets the captaincy as the most destructive batter on show and in career best form. Clarke is vice captain as Phoenix’s most consistent batter. The rest of the team mixes both top orders with the main bowlers, since bowling first has worked slightly better at this ground.
BP vs SRL Fantasy Team: Grand League

Wicket-Keepers: Joe Clarke,
Batters: Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Will Smeed,
All-Rounders: Mitchell Marsh (C), Rehan Ahmed (VC), Liam Patterson-White,
Bowlers: Chris Wood, Abrar Ahmed, Scott Currie, Matthew Potts,
For grand leagues, try Marsh as captain. He bats and bowls, and won’t be picked as much as Brook or Crawley. Rehan as vice captain gives you a wicket taking leg spinner in good form. Scott Currie and Liam Patterson-White are cheap picks who could still contribute with bat or ball.
Match Prediction
Sunrisers Leeds are the clear form side, riding a huge total in their last game and with Brook and Crawley both batting well. Birmingham Phoenix have lost four straight and are searching for answers, though Edgbaston has been kind to their batting before. Sunrisers Leeds are the strong pick here, and Phoenix will need something well above their recent form to turn it around.
