Meanwhile, the Phoenix, captained by Moeen Ali, have struggled to meet expectations. Both their batting and bowling performances have been subpar, resulting in their current bottom position in the points table. To secure a playoff spot, they’ll need significant improvements in both departments. BPH lost their previous encounter against the Welsh Fire (WEF) as they faced defeat by six wickets.
