Preview:
After a wonderful start to the men’s edition of the English 100-balls League at the Oval in London, the action will shift to Birmingham for a clash between Birmingham Phoenix and London Spirit. Both the teams have some quality stars amongst their mix and it should be fun to see them live in action.
London Spirit are being led by Eoin Morgan and the presence of Ravi Bopara, Joe Denly and Mohammad Nabi makes their team look solid. On the other hand, Moeen Ali will lead the Birmingham team, who also have superstar players like Finn Allen, Liam Livingstone, and Imran Tahir.

Liam Livingstone has been in magnificent form in recent times. He scored the fastest ever hundred by an Englishman in international cricket. He would be one of the players to watch out for.
