Derbyshire vs Worcestershire Predictions


Worcestershire have won four of their matches in the Blast, which is just one more than Derbyshire. I am backing Worcestershire for the win as they have two bowlers in the top 11 best economy rates in the Blast and a top six that are playing with greater consistency than Derbyshire.

  • Worcestershire’s Kashif Ali hit six sixes in his 46-ball 88 against Northants.
  • Worcestershire’s Gareth Roderick has scored 35, 49, 80 & 36 in his last 8 innings.
  • Derbyshire’s Aneurin Donald has scored 50, 73, 60 & 85 in his last 8 innings in the Blast.
  • Derbyshire’s Wayne Madsen has scored 53 & 38* in his last 2 innings.

Head-to-Head


Worcestershire have won two and lost three of their last five matches against Derbyshire.

Derbyshire Form


Derbyshire lost their first five matches of the season but have recently found form, winning three of their last five matches. 

Yorkshire’s top-order all contributed as the visitors posted 200/6 off their 20 overs. AM Ghazanfar (2/21, econ 5.25) starred with the ball in picking off two of Yorkshire’s top four.

Aneurin Donald played a brutal innings of 85 off just 30 balls to lay the groundwork for Wayne Madsen (38*) and Ross Whiteley (29*) to take them home with 16 balls and seven wickets in hand.

Derbyshire Team News


In a must-win game for Derbyshire, Aneurin Donald’s form will be key on the back of his explosive 30-ball score of 85 against Yorkshire.

Worcestershire Form


Worcestershire have won two and lost two of their last four matches, beating Northamptonshire by six wickets in their last match. 

A superb bowling performance from Worcestershire saw Nothants restricted to 152/9 off their 20 overs after recovering from 53/4. Adam Finch (3/28, econ 7.00) was the pick of the Worcestershire bowlers. 

Worcestershire lost their opening pair for a total of three runs, but Gareth Roderick (36) and Kashif Ali (88 off 46 balls) set the foundation for a six-wicket win with 20 balls to spare. 

Worcestershire Team News


Worcestershire’s star bowler Jacob Duffy has left after the completion of his three-month contract. 

Verdict

I am backing Worcestershire to win. I am also backing Kashif Ali to top score for Worcestershire.

Aneurin Donald is a good bet to top score for the Derbyshire.
