Who Will Win Worcestershire vs Derbyshire 95th T20 Blast 2025 Prediction – 10th July

Worcestershire vs Derbyshire prediction is highly anticipated as the two sides face off in the 95th match of the T20 Blast 2025 on Thursday, 10th July, at the County Ground, Derby. With group-stage qualification still up for grabs in the North Group, this fixture has significant implications for both teams.

Worcestershire Rapids are placed seventh but could climb to fourth with a win, thanks to a healthy Net Run Rate. They ended a four-game losing streak with a convincing six-wicket win over Northamptonshire, led by a stunning 88 from Kashif Ali. The Rapids’ bowling also found rhythm, with Adam Finch and Tom Taylor producing incisive spells.

Derbyshire Falcons, meanwhile, come into this clash with momentum after destroying Yorkshire by chasing 201 in just 17.2 overs. Aneurin Donald starred with a record-equalling 13-ball fifty and a match-winning 85, supported by a composed knock from Wayne Madsen. With both teams eyeing critical points, expect fireworks under the Derby floodlights.

Match Details

Derbyshire Falcons Preview

Derbyshire’s campaign has been revitalized after their explosive win over Yorkshire. The highlight was undoubtedly Aneurin Donald, who scored 85 off just 30 balls. Donald now has 312 runs at a strike rate of 212 and four fifties, making him the tournament’s most dangerous opener.

He is ably partnered by Caleb Jewell, who has 258 runs with consistent starts. Wayne Madsen offers stability at No. 3, while Samit Patel and Ross Whiteley add all-round strength in the middle.

Patrick Brown, the team’s leading wicket-taker (12 wickets), will again lead the bowling with AM Ghazanfar and Zak Chappell. Brown had starred in their last win over Worcestershire with 4 wickets and will be key again.

Predicted XI:
Caleb Jewell, Aneurin Donald (wk), Harry Came, Wayne Madsen, Samit Patel (c), Ross Whiteley, Martin Andersson, Zak Chappell, Alex Thomson, AM Ghazanfar, Patrick Brown

Worcestershire Rapids Preview

Worcestershire’s morale is high after Kashif Ali’s 88-run blitz and Adam Finch’s 3-for in the last game. The opening pair of Brett D’Oliveira and Isaac Mohammed provides firepower, while Gareth Roderick stabilizes at No. 3.

The middle-order is Worcestershire’s strength with Kashif Ali, Ethan Brookes, and Ben Dwarshuis. Dwarshuis, the team’s top wicket-taker (13), also contributes heavily with the bat.

Their bowling lineup featuring Fateh Singh, Tom Taylor, and possibly Jacob Duffy adds variety and threat. Duffy has picked up 10 wickets this season and may return to bolster the attack.

Predicted XI:
Brett D’Oliveira (c), Isaac Mohammed, Gareth Roderick (wk), Kashif Ali, Ethan Brookes, Henry Cullen, Ben Dwarshuis, Tom Taylor, Fateh Singh, Adam Finch, Khurram Shahzad

Fantasy Team XI (WOR vs DER)

Fantasy Analysis:

• Captain Pick: Aneurin Donald – Form player, explosive opener.
• Vice-Captain Pick: Kashif Ali – Fresh off a match-winning 88.
• Players to Avoid:
  • Harry Came – Inconsistent middle-order returns.
  • Henry Cullen – Limited impact in recent games.

Favourite Team – Worcestershire Rapids

Despite Derbyshire’s recent dominant win, Worcestershire Rapids have a more balanced side with batters in form, experienced finishers, and a bowling unit that has clicked. Ben Dwarshuis adds value as a finisher and death-over bowler, while Kashif Ali and Brett D’Oliveira bring explosive potential at the top. Their win over Northamptonshire showed depth and adaptability, making them favorites today.
