Sitting at the foot of the ladder in the Women’s Hundred 2026, Birmingham Phoenix find themselves in eighth place with just 6 points from 7 matches, managed through 1 win, 5 losses, and 1 abandoned fixture. MI London sits just one place above in seventh, also holding 6 points from 7 outings with a single victory, 5 losses, and 1 tied match, though carrying a slightly better net run rate. With both teams effectively ruled out of top three contention, this game is all about pride and avoiding the bottom finish.
Birmingham Phoenix have relied heavily on individual brilliant spells and knocks from Ellyse Perry and Alice Capsey, but cohesive team efforts have been hard to come by, especially during tight run chases. MI London bring plenty of star power through Amelia Kerr and Hayley Matthews, yet costly lapses in key moments have derailed their campaign. If MI London’s match-winners finally fire together, they should have enough quality to outplay Phoenix at Edgbaston.

Head-to-Head:
- Played – 6
- Birmingham Phoenix won – 0
- MI London won – 6
This head-to-head record tells a completely one-sided story, with MI London dominating all 6 of their meetings against Birmingham Phoenix. Phoenix are yet to open their account against them, suffering defeats in every single encounter so far. Crossing the line tomorrow would not only earn Phoenix a crucial victory, but also finally end their long winless drought against a side that has had their number since the start.
