The Hundred 2026 men's competition

Overview

In late July 2026, Birmingham Phoenix were scheduled to face Welsh Fire at Edgbaston on 1 August. At that point, Phoenix had secured one win from three matches, while Welsh Fire sat second with two victories.

By 7 August, Birmingham Phoenix's performance had declined significantly. In the men's competition, Sunrisers Leeds defeated Phoenix by 45 runs at Edgbaston, driven by a 65-run performance from Ryan Rickelton. This result left Phoenix at the bottom of the table and eliminated them from contention. In the women's competition, Sunrisers Leeds also secured a dominant nine-wicket victory over Birmingham Phoenix, led by Phoebe Litchfield's unbeaten 71.

During this same period, other teams made significant progress in the tournament. The Trent Rockets secured a place in the knockout phase following a six-wicket win over MI London, extending their lead at the top of the standings. Additionally, the Manchester Super Giants maintained their pursuit of a top-three finish with a 10-run victory over Southern Brave.
