In their last encounter, the Birmingham Phoenix were impressive, and all-rounder and skipper Moeen Ali returned for the final. To beat Birmingham Phoenix, the opponents will have to put on a fantastic show.

The Southern Brave thrashed Trent Rockets in The Eliminator, and they’ll be fired up for this matchup. Captain James Vince can bat a match-winning inning and lead his team to victory.

Weather
During the final, the weather will be cloudy with a significant probability of rain. Temperatures will range from 17~19°C.

Pitch
There haven’t been many high-scoring games at Lord’s. The Superchargers scored 155 points in their previous game at this location, which they easily defended. The bowlers will benefit from the overcast weather early on, and batting will be more difficult. In a major game like the championship, runs on the board will be vital. As a result, the team that wins the toss will try to bowl first. A total of 150-160 points would be challenging.
