Edgbaston, Birmingham Pitch Report

The pitch at Edgbaston for T20s tends to be pretty batsman-friendly, with a true surface and steady bounce that's perfect for big shots and fast-paced cricket. The flat, mostly grassless track favors high scores around 160–180. Pacers may get early swing in cloudy conditions, but it fades fast. Spin bowlers might get more grip in the middle overs as the pitch starts to wear down a bit. Meanwhile, the short boundaries and fast outfield give batsmen an edge, but smart bowlers can take advantage of the pressure that the high-intensity format brings.

BPH-W vs TRT-W Predicted Playing XI

Birmingham Phoenix Women: Amy Jones, Sterre Kalis, Georgia Boyce, Marie Kelly, Emma Lamba, Ellyse Perry (C), Mary Taylor, Megan Schutt, Emily Arlott, Hannah Baker, Bethan Ellis.

Trent Rockets Women: Nat Sciver-Brunt, Grace Scrivens, Emily Threlkeld, Heather Graham, Ashleigh Gardner (C), Emma Jones, Alana King, Bryony Smith, Sophie Morris, Jodi Grewcock, Kirstie Gordon.

BPH-W vs TRT-W Key Performers

Birmingham Phoenix Women Top Batter: Ellyse Perry

The Birmingham Phoenix Women’s team’s success this season will depend a lot on their captain Ellyse Perry. She's a true all-rounder in women's cricket and was the highest run-scorer for the team last season. She has been in good form as well which is a good news for the Phoenix. During WPL 2025, she scored 372 runs across 8 games, and in the T20 Blast 2025, she made 139 runs.

Birmingham Phoenix Women Top Bowler: Emily Arlott

There are lots of wicket-taking options at the Birmingham Phoenix Women’s bowling arsenal. But they will be once again showing faith in the English pacer Emily Arlott. The Kings Lynn born pacer was the team’s top wicket-taker last season and knows very well about the English conditions. He picked 8 wickets in 4 matches in the Women's T20 Blast 2025.

Trent Rockets Women Top Batter: Nat Sciver-Brunt 

The Trent Rockets Women's team batter Nat Sciver-Brunt will be the batter to watch out for in this match. She was the league's top scorer last season with over 300 runs. Not only that, she has been in excellent form prior to the season as she scored 523 runs for the Mumbai Indians Women in the WPL 2025 and was in good form in the recent England international matches.

Trent Rockets Women Top Bowler: Alana King 

The Trent Rockets Women's team pacer Alana King has been in great form in recent months. Although she bagged only 7 wickets last season, she picked 20 wickets in the WBBL and has been doing very well for Australia in the international matches. If she can replicate the same form as the WBBL performance, the Rockets fans would be quite happy.

BPH-W vs TRT-W Today Match Prediction

The Birmingham Phoenix Women and the Trent Rockets Women's team will be featuring in their first match of the season. But importantly, both teams have retained most of their players and would be hoping to improve on their last season’s performance and take that step towards the playoffs.

Both the sides have some top quality batters and bowlers. However, the Rockets were hugely dependent on Nat Sciver-Brunt to score the majority run while the Birmingham team has great depth in batting. However there is not much of a difference between the two teams.

However, the Birmingham Phoenix play at home and have a great batting depth with bowling depth in the form of Ellyse Perry. We believe the hosts for this match, the Birmingham Phoenix Women should win this match.
