The Hundred Women 2025, Match 24: Birmingham Phoenix Women are set to face Welsh Fire Women in the 24th match of the ongoing tournament on August 22. Edgbaston is all set to host the live clash from 7:30 PM (IST) as fans are already gearing up for some unforgettable cricket drama.
Both teams are under pressure, although Phoenix have a good chance to salvage their pride at home. Birmingham Phoenix have had a disastrous campaign where they have lost four of their last five matches, with their only win coming against Trent Rockets. Welsh Fire have not managed a single win so far, losing all their group-stage matches.
The Edgbaston pitch is generally good for batting. Players can score a lot of runs once they settle in. Fast bowlers may get some help with the new ball, especially during the powerplay when the wind favors pace. However, as the ball loses its shine, they will have to use variations. Spinners are likely to play a key role in the middle overs.
In the 16 matches played at this ground in The Hundred Women, teams setting targets have won 11, while teams chasing targets have won only 5.
Aaj ka BPH-W vs WEF-W match kon jeetega: Edgbaston Stadium is considered a batsman-friendly stadium, so choosing strong batsmen can give you an edge in your fantasy matches. However, cloudy weather in the beginning may help the fast bowlers a bit. Given the history of preferring teams that set targets, including strong all-rounders in your lineup can benefit you a lot. Both teams are coming here after losing all their matches, so Birmingham Phoenix team is more likely to win the match.
Birmingham Phoenix Women (BPH-W) Probable 11: Georgia Voll, Emma Lamb, Mary Kelly, Ellyse Perry (captain), Amy Jones (wicketkeeper), Ailsa Lister, Em Arlott, Mary Taylor, Megan Schutt, Hannah Baker, Phoebe Brett
Welsh Fire Women (WEF-W) Probable 11: Sophia Dunkley, Hayley Matthews, Tammy Beaumont (captain), Georgia Elwiss, Jess Jonassen, Sarah Bryce (wicketkeeper), Katie George, Georgia Davies, Freya Davies, Shabnim Ismail, Katie Levick
