Birmingham Phoenix vs MI London, THMC, Today Match Prediction 12 August 2025

BRM vs MIL Match Prediction & Analysis

Birmingham Phoenix will be back at Edgbaston for another home game as they eye their first win of The Hundred 2025. In their opening game, they suffered a 6-wicket loss on this ground.

Oval Invincibles will be coming to Birmingham with the winning momentum on their side. They have won two matches in a row, where they completely outplayed the opposition in every department.

After they bowled out the London Spirit for 80 runs at Lord’s, the Invincibles chased down a 129-run target with 9 wickets in hand at The Oval. Batting is a major issue for the home team ahead of their second home game.

Despite a strong and deep batting lineup, Birmingham Phoenix have failed to post a competitive total in both outings. Their key players, like Ben Duckett, Joe Clarke, and Liam Livingstone, are yet to deliver an impactful performance.

Jason Behrendorff, Sam Curran, and Rashid Khan of the Oval Invincibles will pose a tough challenge to the home team’s struggling batting order. The visitors have looked threatening with the ball, and their key players have been consistent with their performances.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Birmingham Phoenix Preview

Birmingham Phoenix will be looking to turn things around as they face an in-form Oval Invincibles at home. The batting is a major concern for the hosts, and skipper Livingstone will expect his top order to come good in this match.

Ben Duckett, Will Smeed, and Jacob Bethell have failed to deliver impactful knocks in the top 3. Aneurin Donald, who played at number 3 in the opening game, was sent down to number 6 in the next match.

Joe Clarke will be one to watch out for at number 4. He is the only player in this lineup to score 20+ in both innings. The wicket-keeper batsman looks promising and is expected to make an impact in this home game.

The captain needs to lead the finishing effort for the side at number 5 or 6. Liam Livingstone hit 3 sixes in his 39-run knock in the last game at this venue to lead Phoenix to 122 runs. The likes of Dan Mousley and Benny Howell add depth to the lineup and can be handy at the death.

Despite the bowling attack featuring Trent Boult, Tim Southee, and Adam Milne, Birmingham Phoenix picked up just one wicket while defending 106 runs in their last game. Boult and Milne have been wicketless so far in the two matches.

Benny Howell and Tim Southee are the key wicket-takers to watch out for in this bowling attack. On paper, the bowling attack looks very strong. Overall, they have lacked winning performances from key players in both departments. However, this will be another good opportunity for Birmingham Phoenix to find its rhythm and get ahead in the contest.

Birmingham Phoenix Predicted Playing XI:

Will Smeed, Ben Duckett, Aneurin Donald, Joe Clarke (wk), Liam Livingstone (c), Jacob Bethell, Dan Mousley, Benny Howell, Adam Milne, Tim Southee, Trent Boult

Birmingham Phoenix Actual Playing XI:

Jacob Bethell, Joe Clarke, Ben Duckett, Benny Howell, Liam Livingstone, Dan Mousley, Will Smeed, Tim Southee, Adam Milne, Trent Boult, Louis Kimber

MI London Preview

Oval Invincibles are off to a great start with back-to-back wins. Their bowlers have lived up to the expectations, while the openers made a big comeback in the second outing. The Invincibles look very formidable going ahead.

Will Jacks’ 61 off 26 balls at the top helped them to a 9-wicket win in the last game. T Muyeye also scored a quick-fire fifty alongside. There are many all-rounders in this lineup.

Donnovon Ferreira is a key all-rounder to watch out for in the middle order. The Invincibles had decided to promote Sam Curran ahead of the skipper, Sam Billings, in the batting order.

Curran will be expected to score quickly to maintain the run rate. Jordan Cox, at number 3, can also accelerate the flow of runs for the Invincibles. Ferreira and Tom Curran add strength to the lower middle order at 6 and 7.

We don’t expect consistency from Tom Curran, but Ferreira has plenty of experience with the bat and will be responsible for a strong finish. Rashid Khan looks in fine touch in the bowling attack, and along with Sam Curran and Jason Behrendorff, is a key wicket-taker to watch out for.

Oval Invinicibles replaced Jordan Clark with Saqib Mahmood in the second match, and the change worked perfectly for the team. Mahmood is a promising right-arm fast medium bowler who can move the ball both ways.

MI London Predicted Playing XI:

Will Jacks, Tawanda Muyeye, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Sam Billings (c & wk), Donovan Ferreira, Tom Curran, Rashid Khan, Nathan Sowter, Saqib Mahmood, Jason Behrendorff

MI London Actual Playing XI:

Jason Behrendorff, Sam Billings, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Will Jacks, Saqib Mahmood, Tawanda Muyeye, Nathan Sowter, Donovan Ferreira, Rashid Khan

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Though it will be partly cloudy in Birmingham before the match, it will get clear and sunny around game time. There are no signs of rain, and we can expect an uninterrupted match between two promising teams.

BRM vs MIL Pitch Report

It is a balanced wicket where bowlers have held the upper hand in the last few matches of The Hundred. Trent Rockets restricted the hosts to 122 runs in the last game here and chased it down with 6 wickets in hand and 22 balls remaining. The average 1st innings score in the last 4 matches here is 123 runs. However, that is not a match-winning total. The team batting first will need to cross the 140-run mark to be in a competitive position.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams bowling first have won 4 of the last 5 matches of The Hundred Men’s Competition played at Edgbaston. Bowlers have dominated in the first innings in each of these wins, while batters chased down the target quite comfortably. Both teams have a solid bowling attack and should back their bowlers to give them an edge in the contest.
