Birmingham Phoenix stand-in captain Liam Livingstone hit a stunning unbeaten 92 off 40 balls during a superb all-round display as his side secured their place in inaugural final of English cricket's The Hundred competition with a dominant eight-wicket win at the Northern Superchargers on Tuesday. "We've got a young, fearless line-up and we've seen some great talent coming through." This season has also seen Livingstone compile England's quickest T20 hundred, off just 42 balls, against Pakistan at Trent Bridge in July. This guy can hit a seriously big ball," the former England captain added. Birmingham are now guaranteed to take top spot in the men's Hundred table, meaning they go directly into Saturday's final at Lord's.
