Root Guides Fire to Victory Over Phoenix Joe Root's performance in The Hundred has injected much needed momentum into his career.
Fresh from being reappointed as England's Test captain on Thursday, Root led Welsh Fire to a seven wicket victory over Birmingham Phoenix with an unbeaten half century.
The significance of this win extends beyond the scoreboard. It marks a return to form for a batsman who faced intense scrutiny in recent months after struggling against New Zealand and Pakistan.
