• Date: Sunday, 17 August 2025

London Spirit Women defeated Birmingham Phoenix Women by 88 runs following one of the more one-sided and lopsided matches at Edgbaston. The Spirit, who batted first after Birmingham won the toss, relatively easily made their way to a target of 164/6 from 100 balls, led by the entertaining 69 off 35 balls by Kira Chathli and some explosive hitting from Grace Harris (34 off 15). Emily Arlott (3/25) bowled excellently but sadly received little help and support from her teammates. After Canberra's total, the Phoenix was in for a shock, as having to face a disciplined London Spirit attack saw them collapse to 76 all out from only 79 balls. Charlie Dean (2/4) and Eva Gray (2/13) excelled for the Spirit and ensured the bonus point win.

BPH vs LDN Probable Winners:

This match concludes the 2023 Men’s Hundred group stage, and we anticipate that both teams will want to finish with an offensive contest. Birmingham Phoenix have a group of players who have been widely predicted to go all the way this season, but for whatever reason, they have yet to get going. We believe London Spirit will win this match on Thursday evening because they have some experienced players in good form. Considering the team combination, London Spirit is expected to win this match.
