Match Details

Worcestershire Team Preview

Worcestershire Rapids have revived their campaign with recent wins and now face a critical match to stay in the hunt for the playoffs. Brett D’Oliveira’s side defeated Derbyshire by 12 runs in their last outing, with solid contributions across departments.

The batting lineup has finally clicked. Skipper D’Oliveira along with Isaac Mohammed and Gareth Roderick at the top can build the platform. Middle-order hitters like Kashif Ali and Adam Hose will be crucial for acceleration, while Ben Dwarshuis and Tom Taylor add finishing power.

In the bowling department, Worcestershire have a good mix of pace and spin. Tom Taylor and Khurram Shahzad will take the new ball, while Dwarshuis, Finch, and Fateh Singh are expected to control the middle overs. However, their bowling still looks vulnerable under pressure.

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

Warwickshire Team Preview

Warwickshire Bears are peaking at the right time. Alex Davies’ team is on a winning streak and crushed Lancashire in their last match. With eight wins already, they are poised for a top-two finish.

Alex Davies and Tom Latham form a dynamic opening pair. The middle order is in fine touch, with consistent performances from Dan Mousley, Sam Hain, and Ed Barnard. The likes of Robert Yates and Hasan Ali provide firepower at the backend.

In bowling, Warwickshire are better balanced than their opponents. Hasan Ali and Richard Gleeson have delivered early breakthroughs. George Garton has offered sharp pace, while Craig Miles and spinner Danny Briggs offer control in the middle overs. Their all-round strength makes them a top contender.
