Birmingham Phoenix Women will kick off their 2025 campaign at home against Trent Rockets Women at Edgbaston, a venue where they’ve enjoyed solid support in the past. In the previous season, Phoenix finished 7th with 3 wins and 4 losses from 8 matches, including 1 no result. They ended the season with 7 points and a poor Net Run Rate of -0.742.
Phoenix’s recent form coming into this season has been mixed, with two wins, two losses, and one no-result in their last five completed games. While they failed to make a deep run in last year’s competition, they showed glimpses of promise. In the 2024 season, Birmingham Phoenix Women first defeated Trent Rockets Women by 3 runs in a tense encounter on July 31. However, in the return fixture on August 12, Trent Rockets hit back, securing a narrow 3-wicket win with just 3 balls remaining, leveling their head-to-head battle.
Sterre Kalis and Ellyse Perry lead the Phoenix batting unit. Kalis has scored 236 runs in 10 matches at an average of 29.5 and a solid strike rate of 119.79, providing consistency at the top. Perry adds all-round value, having amassed 203 runs in 8 matches at a strike rate of 125.3, and also picked up 8 wickets at an economy of 7.13. With the ball, Emily Arlott has been a standout performer, claiming 14 wickets in 9 matches at a strike rate of 12.5, making her a key threat with the new ball.
With a balanced squad under the captainship of Ellys Perry and home advantage on their side, Birmingham Phoenix Women have the depth and firepower to put up a strong challenge. If their key players find form early, they are more than capable of starting the season with a crucial win.

Trent Rockets Women begin their 2025 campaign with an away game against Birmingham Phoenix Women at Edgbaston. Having finished 5th last season with 4 wins and 4 losses, they narrowly missed out on the playoffs. They ended the 2024 tournament with 8 points and a Net Run Rate of 0.407, showcasing a fairly balanced performance throughout the season.
Among their most notable results last year was a tight 3-wicket win over Birmingham Phoenix, where they chased down the target with just 3 balls to spare. Earlier in the season, they had fallen short against the same opponents by 3 runs, reflecting how evenly the two sides have matched up — with the recent head-to-head record sitting level at 2-2, with one no-result.
The Rockets boast some of the most formidable names in the competition. Nat Sciver-Brunt was a top scorer last season (303 run at an average above 60). She now has 342 runs in 10 matches at an average of 48.86 and a striking 137.34 strike rate. Her ability to anchor and accelerate makes her central to the team’s success. Ashleigh Gardner adds a dynamic all-round option, contributing 176 runs at 138.58 SR and also taking 10 wickets at a brilliant economy of 6.86. She’ll be a key threat with both bat and ball.
In the bowling department, Heather Graham further strengthens the lineup with 9 wickets in 8 games and an economy rate of 6.88. With proven match-winners in both departments and the confidence from last season’s strong finish, Trent Rockets Women are well-equipped to start their 2025 campaign on a high under the able leadership of one of tournaments best batters - Nat Sciver-Brunt.

The venue of the match is Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham. Established in 1882, it is one of the oldest and most iconic cricket stadiums in England. Known for its electric atmosphere, Edgbaston has been the stage for many historic moments in cricket history, including memorable Ashes battles and World Cup fixtures. The stadium regularly hosts Test matches, ODIs, T20Is, and The Hundred games. With a seating capacity of around 25,000, Edgbaston is widely regarded as one of the most passionate cricket venues in the UK.
At Edgbaston, captains often choose to bat first after winning the toss. The pitch tends to be good for batting early on, and chasing can be tricky due to variable bounce and slight movement for bowlers. The team winning the toss should bat first.
With both teams starting their 2025 campaigns, the Trent Rockets Women appear to have the upper hand heading into this clash. They finished higher on the table last season, boast a more consistent core, and have match-winners like Nat Sciver-Brunt and Ashleigh Gardner in top form. While Birmingham Phoenix Women have home advantage and a capable lineup led by Ellyse Perry, their inconsistency last season suggests they’ll need a strong collective performance to win. Trent Rockets’ all-round strength gives them a slight edge in this opening battle.
We predict that Trent Rockets Women will defeat Birmingham Phoenix Women.
