BP vs MIL Betting Tips
MI London have considerably more quality and depth across their squad, particularly in the all-rounder and bowling departments. Birmingham Phoenix have won only once in seven matches and arrive on a five-match losing streak. With MI London needing a victory to keep their playoff hopes alive, they should have the greater motivation and quality to get the job done.
Will Jacks has been MI London's leading batter this season and remains one of the most dangerous players in The Hundred. His ability to score quickly at the top of the order makes him our preferred batting selection against a Birmingham attack that has struggled to take wickets consistently.
Birmingham Phoenix have struggled badly with the bat this season, with only Joe Clarke producing consistently strong scores. Their opening partnership has repeatedly failed to provide a platform, while MI London possess a deep bowling attack featuring Richard Gleeson, Trent Boult and Sam Curran. We expect Birmingham to find run-scoring difficult.

Birmingham Phoenix vs MI London prediction
Birmingham Phoenix and MI London meet in the final group-stage match of The Hundred, with very different motivations heading into the contest.
Birmingham have endured a difficult campaign, winning just one of their seven matches and sitting at the bottom of the points table. Their batting has struggled for consistency, while the bowling attack has failed to provide enough penetration.
MI London have also been inconsistent, but they remain firmly in the playoff race and know that victory is essential if they are to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Will Jacks has been one of their standout performers with the bat, while Sam Curran provides valuable contributions in both departments. Richard Gleeson has been particularly impressive with the ball and leads the tournament's wicket charts.
The head-to-head record favours Birmingham, who have won four of the five previous meetings. However, the current form and squad strength point towards MI London.
Prediction: MI London to win.
Pitch report
Edgbaston generally offers good conditions for batting, with the surface providing pace and carry once batters settle at the crease. The new ball can offer some assistance to the quicker bowlers, so the opening spell should be important.
A first-innings score of around 165 should be competitive.
The team winning the toss is likely to bowl first, particularly given that eight of the last 10 matches at the venue have been won by the chasing side.
Key players
Birmingham Phoenix
- Joe Clarke: Birmingham's standout batter and second on the tournament's run-scoring charts with 290 runs.
- Rehan Ahmed: One of Birmingham's more effective bowlers and an important option through the middle overs.
- Usman Tariq: Has been one of the team's more reliable wicket-taking options alongside Rehan Ahmed.
MI London
- Will Jacks: MI London's leading batter and one of the most dangerous stroke-makers in the competition.
- Sam Curran: A key all-rounder who has contributed 218 runs and four wickets this season.
- Richard Gleeson: The tournament's leading wicket-taker with 12 wickets.
- Trent Boult: An experienced new-ball bowler who can exploit any early movement at Edgbaston.
