BPH vs MNR Dream11 Prediction: Stakes are high in the last league game of the Hundred Men’s 2024 season as playoff chasing Birmingham Phoenix entertain Manchester Originals at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Thursday. The match no- 32 is slated to commence at 11:00 PM (IST) on August 15, 2024.
This game carries significant stakes for the Phoenix. They are the team still in playoff contention. All they need is to win this game and if they do that, they will be moving to third on the points table at the expense of Northern Superchargers. For the uninitiated, only top-three teams move to the knockout rounds in the Hundred, with the top-ranked team qualifying to the final, while the 2nd and third-placed team have to negotiate an Eliminator match. The winner of this game will then contest a final game against defending champions Oval Invincibles.
Manchester Originals, on the other hand, have only pride at stake in this game, for they are already out of the playoff contention having won just once in the previous seven rounds. This paltry return is enough to make them one of the worst teams in the Hundred Men’s 2024 season.
BPH vs MNR Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: In the last game played at this venue in the Hundred Men’s 2024, Trent Rockets were bowled out for 118 runs, and Birmingham chased that target down in 93 balls at the loss of just four wickets. In another match, Birmingham also bowled out Northern Superchargers for a paltry total of 83 runs. These totals give an idea about the nature of the pitch. Bowling in the first innings can help the fielding team to get the most out of the pitch which tend to become better for batting as the game ages. Any total above 135 runs can be considered a par total, while the captain winning the toss might prefer to bowl first.

- Ben Duckett: Phoenix’s form changed for the good once Ben Duckett was available for selection post the England vs West Indies test series. He has scored 240 runs at an outstanding average of 80 in just five innings.

- Tim Southee: The veteran New Zealander showed his class with a five-wicket haul in the last match against Trent Rockets. He was simply phenomenal.
