Welsh Fire v Birmingham Phoenix stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

Birmingham Phoenix Women beat Welsh Fire Women in 2021 and 2022, before a Shabnim Ismail hat-trick sealed a three-run win for the Fire last summer.

The Welsh franchise are top of the table after four victories in five completed matches this season, while Birmingham are aiming to bounce back after being bowled out for just 54 against Northern Superchargers on Tuesday.

The Phoenix Men boosted their play-off hopes by skittling the Superchargers for 83 and openers Moeen Ali and Ben Duckett took only 39 balls to reach their victory target.

Welsh Fire cruised to a six-wicket victory in this fixture last season, but they have hit only 10 sixes in their first six matches of 2024.
