Tymal Mills Shows Brilliant Bowling Performance in Southern Brave vs Birmingham Phoenix

Tymal Mills starred with the ball as Southern Brave cruised to a four-wicket victory over Birmingham Phoenix in the 22nd match of The Hundred Men’s Competition 2023 at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on August 16.
Mills took three wickets for 20 runs in his four overs, including the wickets of Will Smeed, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes.

He also bowled a tight spell to dismiss the trio in his 20-ball spell to restrict Birmingham Phoenix to a low-par total. Rehan Ahmed also bowled well for Southern Brave, taking three wickets for 22 runs. The teenage leg-spinner bamboozled the Phoenix batsmen with his googlies and leg breaks and was particularly effective in the middle overs.

George Garton top-scored for Southern Brave with 28 runs off 18 balls, while Devon Conway made the contribution of 24 runs. The Brave chased down the target of 120 with six balls to spare. The win moves Southern Brave up to second place in the table, while Birmingham Phoenix remain bottom.

Here is a more detailed analysis of the match:

Batting: Will Smeed got off to a good start for Birmingham Phoenix, scoring 23 runs off 13 balls. However, he was caught by Leus du Plooy off the bowling of Tymal Mills at the 23th delivery of the inning.

Bowling: Tymal Mills was the star with the ball for Southern Brave, taking three wickets for 20 runs form his 20-ball spell. He was particularly effective in the death overs, bowling a tight yorker to dismiss trio of the star batters.

Result: Southern Brave won by four wickets with six balls to spare. This was a brilliant performance by Tymal Mills, who showed that he is still one of the best bowlers in T20 cricket. He was able to extract good pace and bounce from the pitch, and he bowled with great control.

His three wickets were all crucial, and they helped to restrict Birmingham Phoenix to a below-par total.
Rehan Ahmed also bowled well, and his three wickets were also important. He is a very talented young bowler, and he has a bright future ahead of him.

Southern Brave were clinical in their chase, and they never looked in danger of losing. They are now in second place in the table, and they will be looking to challenge for the title. Birmingham Phoenix will be disappointed with their performance, but they still have time to turn their season around. They need to start winning games consistently if they want to make the playoffs.
