The Hundred, Women: Manchester Super Giants vs Birmingham Phoenix

Platform comparison

Market context

Manchester Super Giants Women and Birmingham Phoenix Women are scheduled to meet in The Hundred on 26 July 2026, with the market sitting at a near coin-flip 50% before the result is known. The clearest recent frame is that Manchester produced a dominant 87-run home win over Birmingham in the men’s competition at Emirates Old Trafford, but the women’s side has its own record against Phoenix and the current market should be read against the specific women’s squads rather than the men’s result.[1]

For comparable women’s cases, Birmingham have shown they can win from modest totals when their attack controls the chase: they beat Manchester Originals Women by 16 runs in 2025 after posting 111 for 3, with Ellyse Perry and Amy Jones central to that defence.[6] That sort of low-to-mid scoring outcome is the main reason a 50% price makes sense: in The Hundred, small batting collapses, a strong powerplay, or a single standout spell can swing the game sharply, so historical head-to-heads and recent scorelines tend to matter more than broad reputational strength.[6]

The key traders should watch is availability and late team news, especially whether either side fields its full first-choice overseas core and how the toss shapes the chase, because even one batting change can alter a short-format projection materially. ESPN’s competition listing confirms the fixture date in the women’s tournament, while a recent preview noted the match was set for Trent Bridge, underscoring that venue and conditions are part of the pre-match read, not just the team names on the card.[2][3]
