Birmingham Phoenix face MI London in Match 32 of The Hundred 2026 at Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham, on Wednesday 12 August 2026, starting at 18:30 BST (UTC+1). Edgbaston holds 25,000 and has earned the nickname ‘Fortress Edgbaston’; its Hollies Stand produces a wall of crowd noise that has been a decisive home factor in international matches for decades.

This is one of the final group stage matches before the playoff picture is confirmed. Birmingham Phoenix host MI London with both clubs having fought for top-four finishes across the tournament. At Edgbaston, the crowd advantage is tangible, and Phoenix’s coaching staff will have planned the home leg carefully in the weeks prior.

Birmingham Phoenix are built around two of the English game’s most versatile cricketers. Moeen Ali combines off-spin wickets with middle-order clean hitting that can accelerate at any point in an innings. Liam Livingstone’s leg-spin and explosive power make him one of the most dangerous all-round options in The Hundred. Chris Woakes provides reliable seam-bowling excellence that Edgbaston conditions consistently reward.

MI London, carrying Mumbai Indians’ IPL investment, are one of the most heavily resourced sides in the competition. Sam Curran is a complete all-rounder; his left-arm seam can swing matches in the powerplay. Will Jacks provides explosive batting at any position. Jason Roy brings a decade of white-ball experience at the top of the order.

At Edgbaston under floodlights on a summer evening, the humidity and dew can affect ball movement. The team that wins the toss and reads conditions correctly gains a structural advantage.
