Southern Brave host Birmingham Phoenix in the next match of the men's Hundred 2023.
The game is due to start at 6.30pm BST on Wednesday, August 16.
Southern Brave's home ground is the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
A depleted Southern Brave came up good against Welsh Fire in their previous outing. They now have two wins from five games and sit fourth in the table (prior to the game between Oval Invincibles and London Spirit on Tuesday, August 15).
Birmingham Phoenix also won their most recent outing, against league leaders Oval Invincibles, but remain rooted to the foot of the table.
With the bat, Finn Allen is the only batsman on either side to have breached the 100-run barrier this season. There is a lack of consistency with the bat among both lineups.
With the ball, Tymal Mills has eight wickets and has a decent economy rate of 120 runs conceded per 100 balls. For Phoenix, Benny Howell is going at just 88.
Tymal Mills versus the big guns. Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Ben Duckett and Will Smeed have not yet fired for Phoenix in 2023. If in-form Mills can contain them, at either end of the innings, Southern Brave can win again.
