Worcestershire Team Preview
Worcestershire have won three of their last four matches and are building momentum at the right time. Ethan Brookes leads the run charts with 323 runs and has been instrumental in setting or chasing targets. Gareth Roderick continues to be a dependable anchor, providing stability in the middle overs.
The bowling unit is led by Ben Dwarshuis, who has taken 18 wickets in 13 games. Tom Taylor and Fateh Singh offer great support with their tight spells and ability to pick wickets at crucial stages. Their recent form and better coordination give them a slight edge over Nottinghamshire in this match.
Nottinghamshire Team Preview
Nottinghamshire started slow but are now on a resurgence, winning three of their last four matches. Skipper Joe Clarke has led from the front, scoring 402 runs at a blistering strike rate of 165+. Tom Moores and Jack Haynes have been equally consistent in the middle.
The bowling lineup has improved, with Daniel Sams, Matthew Montgomery, and Liam Patterson-White forming a reliable trio. However, inconsistency in the powerplay and death overs continues to hurt them.
To win this game, Notts need early wickets and Clarke to deliver another explosive knock. The margins are small, but their weak NRR could be a setback if they don’t win convincingly.
