The Birmingham Phoenix Women will play against the Oval Invincibles Women in the 19th match of the Women’s Hundred 2023 at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The Birmingham Phoenix Women are currently struggling in this year’s competition, with no wins in four games as well. They faced a loss against the Welsh Fire Women in their last game as well. Bowling first, the Phoenix Women did a great job of restricting the Fire Women to 137/7. In reply, Tess Flintoff (55) and Amy Jones (48*) built a partnership but the game went to the final over and they failed to win and lost the game by three runs as well. They will have to do well to grab their first win of the tournament as well.
The Oval Invincibles, on the other hand, have had a mixed season so far. They have managed to win only one game so far and lost two as well. They faced a loss against the Northern Superchargers Women in their last game and will be hoping to do well on Sunday as well. Marizanne Kapp picked up two wickets but the other bowlers failed to do well as the Superchargers Women posted 143 on the board. Cordelia Griffith played a quick cameo of 30* off 15 balls but it wasn’t enough as the Invincibles Women fell short of 14 runs at the end.
