The Birmingham Phoenix will take on the Southern Brave in Eliminator of The Hundred 2024 season
Birmingham Phoenix Vs Southern Brave The Hundred Eliminator Preview
With just one match between them and the final, both teams will bring their A-game to this eliminator match.
The Birmingham Phoenix come into this game in fine form, on a four-match winning streak. They kicked off their season with a loss against the Oval Invincibles, which was followed by wins over the London Spirit and the Trent Rockets. After the next match was a defeat at the hands of the Southern Brave, the Phoenix went on a winning streak, scoring wins against the Northern Superchargers, the Welsh Fire, the Rockets, and the Manchester Originals. With six wins, two losses, and 12 points in eight matches, the Birmingham Phoenix finished second on the table.
The Southern Brave, on the other hand, have been incredibly consistent this season. They started this competition with a win over the Spirit, which was followed by a loss against the Superchargers. They then won three games in a row – against the Originals, the Phoenix, and the Fire, before losing their second game of the season against the Invincibles. After a close win over the Rockets in their penultimate game, the final match of the league stage for the Brave against the Fire was washed out. With five wins, two losses, one no-result, and 11 points in eight games, the Southern Brave finished third on the table.

BRM Vs SOU The Hundred Eliminator Pitch Report
The pitches at the Kennington Oval are some of the most typical English T20 surfaces in modern times. That means the ball will come onto the bat nicely, making high runs the norm here.
However, there is something for the pace bowlers here, especially in the early overs as the ball moves around in the air and after the bounce.

Phoenix Vs Brave Prediction
In the playoffs, it is anyone’s game. Prior, or even recent form does not matter much as teams usually come into these games with a different mindset. Even if that was not the case, these have been two of the better teams in this competition, so this promises to be a fun contest.
With that being said, the Brave’s most recent match was washed due to rain. Things were looking dicey against the Welsh Fire, who put up a massive score in the first inning. If the Southern Brave lost that match, they would not have made it to the playoffs. So the Brave might be coming into this one with their confidence shaken a bit.
On the other hand, the Birmingham Phoenix are on a four-match winning streak, most recently defeating the Manchester Originals in a rain-affected match. The last time they lost a match, they did so against the Brave.
But seeing the recent form, of both – the players and the team as a whole, Birmingham looks like they have a slight advantage in this match-up and might go into this one as slight favourites
