Birmingham Phoenix have lost five games in a row and sit bottom of the table with just one win all season. The BP vs MIL Fantasy Team prediction will be an interesting one, with both sides coming into the match with very different recent form. MI London arrive in far better shape, sitting second in the table despite a narrow loss to Trent Rockets in their last game. Donovan Ferreira leads a Phoenix side searching for answers, and Sam Curran captains an MI London team that’s been one of the more consistent sides in the competition.

These are the likely lineups. Both are confirmed at the toss.
Key Player Battles
Nicholas Pooran vs Chris Wood: Pooran can clear any ground when set, and Wood, Phoenix’s most reliable wicket taker this season, gives them their best chance of getting him early.
Joe Clarke vs Trent Boult: Clarke has been Phoenix’s most consistent batter, and Boult swinging the new ball is a real early threat.
Sam Curran vs Rehan Ahmed: Curran’s clever variations against Rehan’s leg spin, two England bowlers testing each other in different roles for their sides.
BP vs MIL Fantasy Team: Small League
Wicketkeepers: Joe Clarke, Nicholas Pooran,
Batters: James Vince, Will Smeed,
All-Rounders: Sam Curran (C), Sikandar Raza (VC), Rehan Ahmed,
Bowlers: Trent Boult, Chris Wood, Olly Stone, Saqib Mahmood,
Curran gets the captaincy as MI London’s in form captain and all rounder. Clarke is vice captain as Phoenix’s most consistent batter this season. The rest of the team mixes both top orders with the main bowlers, since this ground has leaned slightly towards bowling first.
BP vs MIL Fantasy Team: Grand League
Wicketkeepers: Joe Clarke, Nicholas Pooran,
Batters: Will Smeed,
All-Rounders: Sam Curran, Rehan Ahmed (C), Sikandar Raza (VC),
Bowlers: Chris Wood, Trent Boult, Scott Currie, Olly Stone, Saqib Mahmood,
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. Raza as vice captain gives you an all rounder who contributes with bat and ball. Scott Currie and Olly Stone are cheap picks who could still contribute with bat or ball.
Match Prediction
MI London are the far stronger side right now, sitting comfortably in the table with a squad full of proven performers, while Birmingham Phoenix are mired in a five match losing streak with no signs of turning it around. Phoenix do have the historical head to head record in their favour, and Edgbaston has been kind to their batting before, so they can’t be completely written off. MI London are the clear pick, though, given the gulf in current form.
