Birmingham Phoenix Women host Trent Rockets Women at Edgbaston on Friday 24 July in the fourth match of The Hundred Women’s 2026. It is an afternoon game in near-perfect weather, which suits the strokeplay both teams can offer.
Phoenix are expected to be captained by Ellyse Perry. Tammy Beaumont, Emma Lamb, Davina Perrin and Alice Capsey form a strong batting group, with Fatima Sana and Phoebe Brett adding all-round options. Alana King, Linsey Smith, Lauren Filer and Eva Gray should handle most of the bowling.
Trent Rockets are likely to be led by Ashleigh Gardner and have Beth Mooney keeping wicket. Sophia Dunkley, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Georgia Adams and Georgia Elwiss give them quality through the order, and Kim Garth, Katie Levick and Samantha Bates are among the bowlers. Millie Taylor and Eve Jones are also in the likely XI.
Batting first looks like a slight advantage on this surface, with no dew likely in the afternoon. A par score is around 135–150 runs. We back Trent Rockets Women for the win.
