Sam Hain revived the innings with his knock of 63 runs in 39 balls. Imad Wasim also chipped in with an innings of 26 runs in 25 balls. On the back of their batting brilliance, Southern Brave could cross the 130 run mark and reach 133.

During the chase, Finn Allen and Devon Conway started off very slow. They weren't striking even at a 100. Once these two got dismissed, Southern Brave were already under the required rate pressure. James Vince also disappointed as he got out to Wasim for 3. Chris Jordan fought hard and tried his best to take Southern Brave over the line. Despite his cameo of 22, Southern Brave fell short by 6 runs.

Birmingham Phoenix Form Guide:

Birmingham Phoenix's previous match against Northern Superchargers was washed off due to rain.

The top wicket taker for Birmingham Phoenix in the previous edition of The Hundred Men's was Tom Helm with 14 scalps under his belt.

Players to look out for:

1. Chris Woakes- He had an unforgettable run at the recently concluded Ashes series. Woakes can swing the ball both ways and reap rewards in the early part of the game.
