Team Previews
Worcestershire Preview
Worcestershire have enjoyed a fantastic campaign so far, winning three of their five matches and looking well set to qualify from their group. Jake Libby has been their batting star, already scoring an unbeaten century and two half-centuries, averaging over 70. His ability to anchor and accelerate makes him a huge threat. Brett D’Oliveira has complemented him superbly with another century and fifty, showing composure and reliability.
On the bowling front, Ben Allison has been a match-winner, picking up 10 wickets in just three games. His 6/35 against Hampshire remains one of the best spells of the competition. Ethan Brookes has also been effective, with six wickets in two games earlier, though slightly quieter recently. With such balance in their lineup, Worcestershire enter this clash as strong favourites.
Glamorgan Preview
Defending champions Glamorgan have endured a disastrous season, sitting bottom with five losses and one abandoned match. Their batting hopes rest on Kiran Carlson, who has already scored a century and a fifty while maintaining an aggressive strike rate. Eddie Byrom, unlucky to miss out on a century with 94, also brings stability at the top. However, inconsistency from the middle order has hurt them badly.
Their bowling has struggled too, with Ned Leonard and Zain-ul-Hassan being the only standouts. Leonard’s best figures of 3/54 highlight his wicket-taking ability, while Zain-ul-Hassan showed promise against Essex. But without collective effort, Glamorgan are staring at another tough outing.

Favorite Team in Today’s Match
Worcestershire are the clear favorites for this contest. Their batting unit has shown consistency with Jake Libby and Brett D’Oliveira leading the charge, while their bowling attack looks sharper with Ben Allison’s match-winning spells. Glamorgan, on the other hand, have struggled to find rhythm both with bat and ball. While Carlson and Byrom remain dangerous, they lack the overall balance needed to compete against Worcestershire’s form and depth. Unless Glamorgan produce a miraculous all-round performance, Worcestershire are likely to dominate this fixture.
