Birmingham Phoenix vs Oval Invincibles Team Preview

Birmingham Phoenix

With 15 balls remaining in their last two games, Birmingham Phoenix was down by 49 runs and 6 wickets. The Invincibles are in great shape, so this game might be very difficult. 

Birmingham Phoenix stuck with the same starting lineup after losing to Manchester Originals by 49 runs at Old Trafford on Monday in order to defeat Welsh Fire on Thursday night. Although there haven’t been any injuries reported, Phoenix might still look to make some adjustments as they try to get their first victory.
