MI London vs Birmingham Phoenix Live స్కోర్, Match 32 of The Hundred, 2026

League stage done and dusted - And that is a wrap to the final league contest of the season, where MI London dug deep to secure a 2-run victory but ultimately fell short of advancing to the next round. Despite finishing level on 20 points with Sunrisers Leeds, MI London missed out on the playoffs due to the Sunrisers' superior net run rate. The stage is now perfectly set for the Men's Eliminator, which will see the Manchester Super Giants lock horns with Sunrisers Leeds on Friday, 14th August, at 5 PM GMT. Join us an hour ago for the buildup and updates. Cheers for now!

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Richard Gleeson wins the award for picking 2 for 29. Richard Gleeson says it is disappointing to win five games and still not qualify when two other teams have done the same, but that shows the strength of the competition and how you have to be on top of your game all the way through and adds that 30, 40, or 50 runs can make a big difference. On the toss and bowling first, he says that is what they wanted to do. Adds that he has played here this year for Birmingham and seen teams score 200 and bowl others out for 130, so chasing was still within their capabilities, but it just was not meant to be. It got very dewy towards the end and that definitely improved conditions for batting. Still, they managed to get the win, so all’s well that ends well.

MI London faltered after strong start - MI London started their innings with a flourish but ended with a whimper, posting a below-par 157 for 6 in their 100 balls after a costly middle-order surrender at Edgbaston. Sent in to bat first, openers Will Jacks and James Vince came out all guns blazing during a fruitful Powerplay, finding the boundaries at will before Jacks fell early. Vince then stitched together a quick-fire 36-run partnership with Nicholas Pooran, but his dismissal on the final ball of the Powerplay left the side at 48 for 2. The momentum stalled dramatically from there as Sam Curran departed for a four-ball duck, Jason Roy struggled heavily to find the boundary in a sluggish 32-run stand, and Pooran eventually perished for a 21-ball 36 while trying to force the issue. Sikandar Raza labored on the slow surface for his 17, and though late fireworks from Ollie Sykes and Tom Curran provided a late surge against a clinical bowling attack led by Rehan Ahmed and Chris Wood, who picked up two wickets each alongside a scalp apiece from Tom Helm and Jordan Thompson, the final total left MI London roughly 10 to 20 runs short of a truly competitive score, especially given their steep requirement to win the match by at least 59 runs.

Boult secures thrilling victory - Faced with immense pressure, veteran speedster Trent Boult delivered a masterclass in death bowling by nailing back-to-back yorkers to seal a dramatic victory for MI London. On the bowling front, it was a mixed bag for London as Richard Gleeson stood out with a couple of crucial scalps, while Sam Curran also picked up two wickets despite being a touch expensive, complemented by a solid wicket apiece from Sikandar Raza and Boult to close out a thrilling contest.

Final overs drama unfolds - Donovan Ferreira and Joe Weatherley then ensured that Birmingham landed the ultimate knockout punch to eliminate MI London from playoff contention before both batters were eventually dismissed. The match built to a grandstand finish, leaving Birmingham needing just 7 runs off the final 4 balls, tipping the scales heavily in their favour on a tense evening.

BP top order collapsed early - Chasing a target of 158, Birmingham Phoenix endured a disastrous start as the MI London bowling attack ran through their top order, reducing them to a precarious 23 for 3 inside the fourth set of five balls. However, a brilliant 58-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Joe Weatherley and Sean Dickson completely resurrected the chase and shattered MI London's qualification hopes, as the London franchise desperately needed to restrict Birmingham to 98 runs or less to secure a spot in the Eliminator.
