Warwickshire vs Derbyshire 122nd T20 Blast 2025 Match Details

Derbyshire Team Preview:

Derbyshire have had a disappointing season with only four wins. They’ve struggled to find consistency with both bat and ball. In their last match, Aneurin Donald and Wayne Madsen showed promise with aggressive knocks. Donald’s 54 and Madsen’s unbeaten 51 were the highlights of their batting innings. Caleb Jewell also contributed well.

Their bowling has been their Achilles heel, despite a strong showing from Ben Aitchison (5/29) and support from AM Ghazanfar and Zak Chappell. Captain Samit Patel will need to inspire an all-round performance to challenge a strong Warwickshire side.

Warwickshire (Birmingham Bears) Team Preview:

Warwickshire comes into this match with better form and greater motivation, needing a win to qualify for playoffs. Their batting, led by Sam Hain (50 in the previous match), has looked composed. Danny Briggs, Alex Davies, and Ed Barnard add solidity and aggression.

The bowling department boasts international experience in Hasan Ali and consistent domestic performers like Danny Briggs and Richard Gleeson. Gleeson and Craig Miles each picked up two wickets last game, making them key assets. Warwickshire will look to dominate from start to finish.

Warwickshire XI: Alex Davies (c & wk), Tom Latham, Dan Mousley, Sam Hain, Jacob Bethell, Ed Barnard, George Garton, Danny Briggs, Hasan Ali, Craig Miles, Richard Gleeson
