The Birmingham Phoenix (BPH) will lock horns with the Trent Rockets (TRT) in Match 4 of The  Hundred Men's 2025 on Friday, August 8, at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Phoenix, last season’s runners-up in the league stage, narrowly missed the final after a defeat to Southern Brave in the Eliminator. Led by Liam Livingstone, they will be eager to go one step further and secure their maiden title this year, with star players like Ben Duckett, Trent Boult, and Tim Southee in the squad.

Trent Rockets, on the other hand, finished in mid-table in 2024 finishing in fifth place. With David Willey as captain and key match-winners including Joe Root, Marcus Stoinis, and Lockie Ferguson, the Rockets will be eager to show more impact this time around. The two sides have racks of power hitters and quality bowlers, so a thrilling clash under lights is what fans can look forward to at Edgbaston.
