Birmingham Phoenix face Sunrisers Leeds in Match 24 of The Hundred 2026 at Edgbaston in Birmingham on 2026-08-07. The Hundred’s unique 100-balls-per-side format, with its strategic timeouts and five-ball overs, creates a rhythm unlike any other cricket competition in the world.

Sunrisers Leeds and Birmingham Phoenix are Midlands-meets-north rivals in The Hundred. Edgbaston’s Hollies Stand and Headingley’s Western Terrace are two of the loudest spectator areas in English cricket, and these fixtures always carry an edge. Both teams are packed with England internationals who know each other’s games inside out.

Sunrisers Leeds, formerly known as Northern Superchargers, brings new branding and fresh investment to the 2026 season. The franchise connection adds international scouting networks and analytical resources that raise the standard of competition across the tournament.

Birmingham Phoenix are built around the all-round brilliance of Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone, two of the most versatile cricketers in the English game. Moeen’s off-spin and clean hitting complement Livingstone’s power and leg-spin. Chris Woakes provides the seam-bowling excellence that Edgbaston’s conditions reward.

Sunrisers Leeds, formerly the Northern Superchargers, now carry the Sunrisers Hyderabad brand. Harry Brook is England’s most exciting batting talent, combining Yorkshire grit with breathtaking shot-making. Adil Rashid’s leg-spin has been a weapon in white-ball cricket for over a decade, and David Willey provides experienced left-arm seam and handy lower-order runs.
