Sunrisers Leeds vs Birmingham Phoenix Live স্কোর, Match 24 of The Hundred, 2026

Blockbuster weekend coming up - Two extremely one-sided games today at Edgbaston, then. Birmingham Phoenix have been shown the exit door in both genders. Whereas the Sunrisers Leeds are peaking at exactly the right time, with every part of the machine working in perfect sync, and their sights are now firmly locked on a top three finish. Up next, action shifts for a delicious double-header on Saturday, 8th August, 2026. First up, it's MI London taking on Trent Rockets. A game between two teams parked comfortably in the upper half of the table. That game will be played at the Kennington Oval with the first ball scheduled at 2.30 pm GMT (7 pm IST). Following that, the caravan moves down south to the Utilita Bowl in Southampton, where Southern Brave lock horns with the Manchester Super Giants. The first ball of that match will be bowled at 5 pm GMT (10.30 pm IST). Both teams are hanging by a thread and the winner will surely move up the table. As usual, the women take the stage first, followed by the men. Our build begins well in advance, so mark your presence early for that as well. For now, it's goodbye from here. Cheers!

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Ryan Rickelton wins the award for his responsible knock of 65 (37). On the significance of the win, Ryan Rickelton calls it an important one for the side, pointing out it's a big weekend across the competition with the top of the table getting increasingly tight, so getting over the line mattered, and he's hopeful the win comes with a healthy net run rate boost attached too. When asked about his own innings, he credits Mitch Marsh with taking plenty of the early heat off him, landing the first blows and buying him time to settle into his own game. He says he's moving a lot better now and carrying more self-belief than he was a week ago, adding that he's gradually finding his rhythm and genuinely enjoyed building a solid partnership alongside Marsh, hoping that trend continues. On batting alongside Marsh specifically, Rickelton says the two have crossed paths plenty as opponents over the years, even if this marked their first time actually batting together, and explains that facing someone repeatedly helps you understand their game from the outside, which tends to translate well when you're finally on the same side. He notes Marsh likes to go hard early, a role Rickelton would usually occupy himself, but here it let him sit back and ease into his own innings instead, the two complementing each other nicely, and he jokes he'd much rather have Marsh alongside him than bowling at him. About their bowling effort, he reckons Sunrisers probably left another 10 or 20 runs out there, having been well placed for an even bigger total. But he is quick to praise the bowling unit for the way they have executed their plans under pressure match after match, calling it a real testament to the team. Adds that the bowlers are currently carrying the side and he hopes that continues.

... Post-match Presentation ...

Just enough on the board - Sunrisers Leeds posted 169 on the board, their highest total away from home this season. Inserted to bat, Mitch Marsh once again set the tone with a rapid start, with the Sunrisers racing to 46 without loss inside the Powerplay. Usman Tariq struck with just his second ball of the innings, removing the in-form Marsh to pull things back nicely. The Pakistani spinner wasn't done there either, trapping Harry Brook soon after for his second big scalp. Ryan Rickelton, though, kept the innings ticking along nicely, bringing up his second fifty in as many games. Phoenix threatened a genuine fightback as Sunrisers lost a clutch of wickets and there was a phase where the boundaries dried up, but a couple of late sixes ensured the total finished with some real teeth.

Never really got going - Once again it was the Phoenix top order that came undone, no momentum to speak of inside the Powerplay and no foundation whatsoever for the innings to build on. With openers Owen and Smeed, along with Rehan, all falling cheaply again, they found themselves staring down the barrel at 23 for 3, in desperate need of someone to step up and play the rescue act. Joe Clarke and Sean Dickson did fight hard through a resilient 42-run stand, but once Clarke fell, a big chunk of the innings' momentum went with him. There was a late scrap from Dickson and Thompson, but by then it was too little too late, the asking rate had climbed through the roof, and the big overs, sets in this case, simply never arrived. Sunrisers' bowlers hunted as a pack tonight, executing the plan to perfection and never once letting Phoenix find any rhythm. They mixed their pace beautifully throughout. The spinners also chipped in with tidy, miserly spells of their own. Both Carse and Potts walked away with three wickets apiece, with Carse bringing the raw pace while Potts and Ellis cleverly varied theirs to outfox the batters, rounding off a perfect day at the office for the visitors.

Rose to the occasion as a unit - Orange is the colour of joy in Edgbaston tonight. Both the men and women have handed Phoenix back-to-back crushing defeats, and it's now curtains for their campaign in both formats, with both the men and women of Birmingham Phoenix languishing at the bottom of their respective tables. It has been a season where precious little has gone their way. So it's clear - Birmingham Phoenix are officially knocked out of the competition. A purely dominant win for Sunrisers. They simply outbatted, outbowled and outfielded Phoenix in their own backyard, a performance that also marks their first away win of this edition. And this massive win catapults the Sunrisers up to the second spot, with their net run rate now being the best among all eight teams.

That's it! Sunrisers Leeds beat Birmingham Phoenix by 45 runs, and they will not only be getting four points but also get a massive boost in their Net Run Rate. Hard-length delivery, over off. Chris Wood rocks back and goes for a wild swing but fails to connect. Another dominant win for the Men in Orange and they do the double over the Phoenix, whose season comes to a very painful end.

Back of a length, over off. Chris Wood makes room to heave it away but gets beaten on the outside edge.

What happened there? There's a bit of a delay as the on-field umpire is having a chat with Leeds' captain, Crawley. Not sure what that is about. All clear to continue now.

On a nagging length, wide outside off, Jordan Thompson punches it toward the right of mid off but fails to beat the fielder. Single taken. Thompson is very frustrated with his batting.

Fuller, wide outside off, Jordan Thompson drills it to deep point and gets a couple of runs.

WIDE! Another wide yorker, but this has been sprayed away from the guideline.

Yorker, wide outside off, Jordan Thompson fails to offer any shot at it.

Cherry on the cake. A maiden set from Ellis as he finishes with figures reading 1/25 in 20 balls. Matthew Potts will bowl the last five balls of the match. 3/18 in 15 balls so far.

Wide yorker now, just lurking inside the tramline, outside off. Jordan Thompson leans away and looks to get some connection on his bat, but misses out.

Good-length delivery, shaping across, outside off, Jordan Thompson swings and misses.

Much fuller, nearly a yorker, on midde, Jordan Thompson flicksit through square leg for no runs.

Barely matters at this point, but the Sunrisers have been penalised for not finishing their sets in time. Meaning, they will have to keep an extra fielder inside the ring for the rest of the innings.

Short of a length, wide outside off, Jordan Thompson shuffles across the line and pulls it to deep square leg.

On a good length, angling outside off. Jordan Thompson looks to smoke it downtown, but ends up slicing it to deep cover. The ball flies and drops safely. However, Jordan Thompson denies taking the single.

Okay then, last 10 balls left. 50 runs needed for the Phoenix, with just one wicket left. It's just a matter of when now. Nathan Ellis will bowl out. 1/25 in 15 balls so far.

Nearly, nearly snuck through! Another well-executed yorker from Potts, around middle. Wood manages to jam the bat down in time and dig it out.

Chris Wood is the next batter in for the Phoenix and will face the Hat Trick ball. There have been four hat tricks in the history of the Hundred so far. Can this be the fifth one?

OUT! BOWLED'EM! Potts is on a hat trick! Superb bowling from him as he has his third. Perfectly-executed yorker, at the base of the off stump. Tom Helm exposes the stumps by backing away and trying to loft it over cover, but misses to lay his bat on the ball and the ball crashes into the off stump. The Phoenix come crashing down to 120/8 as Helm comes and goes.

Another one bites the dust. Tom Helm is in at number 9.

OUT! BOWLED! You miss, I hit, says Potts. He picks up his second wicket. Currie walks across his stumps and switches his grip, eyeing the reverse ramp off a full one around off. He completely misjudges the pace of it though, and his off stump takes a battering as he's left rooted in his stance. Birmingham Phoenix are 120/7, needing 50 more from 12 balls.

Nails the yorker in, on off, Jordan carves it in front of mid off for a single.

Well-disguised slower bumper, on top of off. Arriving at the shoulder height. Jordan tries to help it over the short fine leg fielder, but misses.

Matthew Potts (1/17 in 10 balls) returns.

Another full toss, wide outside off. Currie slices it on the bounce to deep cover for a single.
