In The Hundred Women's 2025 Match 10, Birmingham Phoenix Women were beaten by 22 runs by Oval Invincibles Women after failing to complete the run chase of 175. The effort of the outgoing batters for Phoenix, namely Ailsa Lister (33 off 18), Ellyse Perry (29 off 16), and Emma Lamb (25 off 19), was not enough to lift the team to the total set by Invincibles, which was bolstered by top-order power hitting and disciplined bowling and thus, was the deciding factor of the match. Here are the main reasons why Birmingham Phoenix (Women) lost the match:

1. Oval’s Powerful Top-Order Batting

Alice Capsey was on fire as she smashed 52 from 29 balls and Meg Lanning came to her rescue with a brisk 36 from 19. The power play domination gave them the platform to rake up a scary total, thus putting Phoenix in a position where they were always one step behind.

2. Bowling Miseries of Phoenix in Crucial Overs

Two wickets by each of Hannah Baker (2/24) and Emily Arlott (2/25) were the silver lining in Phoenix bowling effort that was uncharacteristically prone to giving away runs at the wrong times. Megan Schutt’s 1/34 in her 20 balls highlighted the inability to contain set batters, especially in the death overs.

3. Lack of Big Partnerships in the Chase

Although Phoenix’s top three all got starts, no batter carried on to play a match-winning knock. The middle order couldn’t accelerate when required, and regular wickets meant they finished at 152/6—well short of the target.

Birmingham Phoenix Women (BPH-W) will take on Oval Invincibles Women (OVI-W) in Match 10 of The Hundred Women’s 2025 at Edgbaston, Birmingham, on Tuesday, August 12, at 7:30 PM IST. Birmingham Phoenix began their campaign with an 11-run win over Trent Rockets but stumbled in their next match, losing to Southern Brave. Ellyse Perry’s side will look to regain winning momentum in front of their home crowd.

Oval Invincibles have had a bad start to their journey so far, as they lost the first two matches and are currently ranked in the bottom half of the table. As the competition is moving fast, they will be thirsty for a victory in order to put their campaign back on the right track. It follows that Birmingham Phoenix will face a hard time due to the rivalry between the teams.
