Team Previews
Leicestershire Preview
The Foxes are desperate to bounce back after consecutive losses. Captain Louis Kimber will hope his top and middle-order click together. Rishi Patel needs to bring stability at the top with Soloman Budinger, while Shan Masood and Rehan Ahmed offer the flair in the middle. The lower order has hitters like Ben Cox and Logan van Beek, capable of boosting the scoring rate.
Bowling remains the major concern. Logan van Beek and Matt Salisbury have shown glimpses of control, but consistency is lacking. Roman Walker and Liam Trevaskis need to improve their accuracy in the middle overs. The spin duo of Rehan Ahmed and Tom Scriven are expected to keep things tight and pick up key wickets.
Worcestershire Preview
Worcestershire are also coming off a defeat. Brett D’Oliveira’s men failed to get going with the bat against Lancashire. The opening pair of D’Oliveira and Ed Pollock must deliver a strong start. The middle-order, featuring Jake Libby, Adam Hose, and Ethan Brookes, hasn’t lived up to its potential and needs to contribute more.
With the ball, Ben Dwarshuis remains the most impactful bowler. Jacob Duffy and Tom Taylor will share the new ball duties, but both must improve their economy. Fateh Singh, Waite, and D’Oliveira need to control the middle overs, especially against Leicestershire’s powerful lower order.
