Edgbaston, Birmingham Pitch Report

In T20 games at Edgbaston, the pitch usually makes it easier for the batsmen to score runs. It offers a true, consistent surface with good pace and bounce, making it ideal for attacking play. On a flat track that’s often quite bare of grass, you can expect some high scores, typically between 160 and 180. Pacers might get some early help with the new ball, especially in cloudy conditions, but the swing fades pretty quickly after that. As the pitch starts to wear during the middle overs, spinners can come into their own. The short boundaries and quick outfield give batsmen an edge, but savvy bowlers can turn the tide by creating pressure through the intensity of the game.

BPH vs TRT Predicted Playing XI

Birmingham Phoenix: Ben Duckett, Joe Clarke, Will Smeed, Aneurin Donald, Jacob Bethell, Liam Livingstone (C), Dan Mousley, Benny Howell, Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Chris Wood.

Trent Rockets: Tom Banton, Max Holden, Sam Hain, Tom Alsop, Adam Hose, Marcus Stoinis, David Willey, Rehan Ahmed, Akeal Hosein, Lockie Ferguson, Sam Cook.

BPH vs TRT Key Performers

Birmingham Phoenix Top Batter: Ben Duckett

The England international batter Ben Duckett is going to be the batter to watch out for in this match for the Phoenix. Duckett has been in great form in all formats of the game and is an aggressive batter who can quick runs early in the innings. He scored 115 runs in 3 matches in the T20I series vs West Indies to prove his prowess in the format.

Birmingham Phoenix Top Bowler: Trent Boult

The New Zealand international and the swing bowler Trent Boult is likely to play this match. In England, Boult's swing bowling makes him the ideal bowler for the conditions. This will be his debut season in the tournament, making him quite an uncertainty.

Trent Rockets Top Batter: Tom Banton

With no Joe Root to play in this match after his involvement in the Test series vs India, 26-years-old Tom Banton’s role becomes crucial. He was the team's top run scorer with 211 and would be looking to continue his rhythm from last season. He has been struggling off late though as he scored only 165 runs in 9 matches in the T20 Blast.

Trent Rockets Top Bowler: David Willey

On the other hand, captain David Willey is going to be the bowler who makes the impact for the Trent Rockets. Willey, besides being a versatile player, is also a swing bowler who keeps things tight with his line and length. He was in great touch in the recent T20 Blast 2025 taking 19 wickets in 14 matches. He has been playing across the world and can use all his experience to help his team.
