In The Women’s Hundred 2026, as the race for the knockout spots tightens, Birmingham Phoenix Women prepare to host Sunrisers Leeds Women in Match 24. Sunrisers Leeds currently occupy fifth place on the table with eight points from five games (two wins, three losses), sitting just outside the qualification spots after bouncing back in their previous outing. On the other hand, Birmingham Phoenix find themselves down in seventh position with six points (one win, three losses, one No Result) and a heavy Net Run Rate deficit of -1.954. With the top half of the table pulling away, both sides desperately need to secure maximum points to keep their tournament alive.
For Sunrisers Leeds, the spark has largely come from Annabel Sutherland, who has accumulated 183 runs at a massive average of 91.50 while striking at 156.41, alongside Hannah Baker’s disciplined bowling that has yielded seven wickets at an economy of 6.56. Birmingham Phoenix will look to their star names to turn things around at home, relying heavily on Ellyse Perry, who has anchored their top order with 124 runs at an average of 62.00, and Alice Capsey, whose off-spin has chipped in with four key wickets. If Phoenix are to climb out of the bottom half, they will need Perry to build another big foundation and their bowling unit to deliver a tight, clinical performance against a dangerous Leeds side.
