BRM-W vs WFW Match Prediction & Analysis
Birmingham Phoenix will be playing their last home game of the season as they take on Welsh Fire Women at Edgbaston. Ellyse Perry and co. have lost their last two home games and are in desperate need of a win here.
The visitors, too, are struggling to find rhythm and are in search of their first win of The Hundred 2025. Welsh Fire picked up 7 wickets in their last outing while defending 111 runs against Southern Brave Women.
The bowling effort, led by Jess Jonassen, who picked up 4 wickets, will boost their confidence going forward. However, the lack of runs from key batters Hayley Matthews and skipper Tammy Beaumont in the top 3 will be a major issue for the visiting side.
The hosts are also struggling with the bat. Birmingham Phoenix Women scored 76 runs while chasing 160+ in their last match at Edgbaston, and finished with 116 while batting first in the previous game.
It is a high-scoring venue in Birmingham that presents an opportunity for both teams to find their form with the bat. The team batting first at this venue crossed the 160-run mark in the last two matches.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Birmingham Phoenix Women Preview
The question of the hour is whether skipper Ellyse Perry will step up to the occasion and deliver a match-winning performance for Birmingham Phoenix Women at home.
She has struggled to deliver an impactful performance with bat and ball. Her 29 off 16 balls inning while chasing 175 against Oval Invincibles was her best batting performance so far.
She hasn’t found any success with the ball either and doesn’t pose any threat to the visiting team. However, the experienced Megan Schutt has looked promising, while the right-arm medium pacer Em Arlott has been the pick of the bowlers with 6 wickets in her last 3 games.
She is high in the running to be the team’s top bowler. Georgia Voll and Hanah Baker are others in the bowling department with the ability to deliver breakthroughs and keep the hosts in the game.
In the batting lineup, Voll holds a crucial position at the top of the lineup. Emma Lamb and Georgia Voll need to deliver a good start to turn the momentum around and build some confidence for the middle-order players.
While the skipper continues to struggle at number 3, they’ve got Marie Kelly and Amy Jones in the middle order to look up to. While none of them have been exceptional in recent games, Alisa Lister in the lower order showed great promise in one of the recent home games.
Birmingham Phoenix Women Predicted Playing XI:
Georgia Voll, Emma Lamb, Marie Kelly, Ellyse Perry (c), Amy Jones (wk), Ailsa Lister, Em Arlott, Mary Taylor, Megan Schutt, Hannah Baker, Phoebe Brett

Welsh Fire Women Preview
Welsh Fire Women will be under pressure coming into this match. They have lost four consecutive matches, and except for their second game of the season, they have never been close to victory.
In the recent loss against Southern Brave, the bowlers fought tooth and nail to keep Welsh Fire in the game, as they picked up 7 wickets while defending a low score at the home ground in Cardiff.
Georgia Davis and Hayley Matthews also delivered crucial breakthroughs along with Jess Jonessen. Shabnim Ismail, though wicketless, was very economical to keep the opposition under pressure.
These bowlers will be crucial for Welsh Fire against a struggling batting lineup of Birmingham Phoenix Women. Matthews, however, hasn’t made any significant impact with the bat as an opener in this lineup.
That is a worrying sign and a major reason for Fire’s losing streak. Sophia Dunkley looks good at the top, but will need support from Matthews. Skipper Beaumont is another batter who’s out of form and continues to affect the team’s chances.
The middle and lower middle order of Georgia Elwiss, Jess Jonassen, and Sarah Bryce have a major role to play in the batting lineup. They will be expected to carry the responsibility of leading the team to a competitive total.
However, considering the pitch conditions on this ground, we expect the top 3 batters to find their rhythm and make a comeback in this match.
Welsh Fire Women Predicted Playing XI:
Sophia Dunkley, Hayley Matthews, Tammy Beaumont (c), Georgia Elwiss, Jess Jonassen, Sarah Bryce (wk), Katie George, Georgia Davis, Freya Davies, Shabnim Ismail, Katie Levick

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be cloudy weather in Birmingham with a high of 21 degrees Celsius around the match time. We don’t expect rain during the match, and it should be an uninterrupted and complete game without any fives reduced from either of the innings.

Average Turn
It looks like a belter of a pitch with batters enjoying great freedom to play their strokes and score quick runs in recent outings at the venue. The average 1st innings score in the last 3 Women’s Hundred matches is 162 runs. Considering the current form of both teams and their bowling strengths, we reckon anything around 165 to 170 should be a match-winning total in this game.
Toss: To Bat
The teams haven’t been in good form with the bat, and aren’t in good shape to chase a target. The team batting first has won all the last 3 matches of The Hundred Women’s Competition on this ground. There is plenty of help for the batters, and a decent score on the board would put the batting team ahead in the contest.
BRM-W vs WFW
Winning Prediction
There are major batting issues for both teams to deal with. There isn’t any reliable or in-form batter who’s delivering consistently impactful knocks for either team. And though there is great promise in their bowling departments, the pitch helps the batters and will put bowlers in a challenging spot. It seems like an even contest between the two teams, but Birmingham Phoenix, due to their home advantage and a slightly stronger bowling attack, will start as favourites in our match prediction.
