Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Predictions

Nottinghamshire are level on points with Worcestershire, but with a game in hand they are better placed to make the playoffs. Their top-order is batting well, so I’m backing them to beat Worcestershire.

Nottinghamshire’s Joe Clarke scored 43 off 26 balls against Durham.
Nottinghamshire’s Moises Henriques has scored 34, 60 & 43 in his last 5 innings.
Worcestershire’s Ethan Brookes has scored 38, 43 & 56* in his last 5 innings.
Worcestershire’s Gareth Roderick has scored 36, 71, 30 & 26 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

Worcestershire have won four and lost one of their last five matches against Nottinghamshire.

Worcestershire Form

Worcestershire bounced back from defeat against the Bears to grab a six-wicket win over Leicestershire to make it three wins from four.

Tom Taylor (3/25) starred with the ball as Worcestershire restricted Leicestershire to 173/6 off their 20 overs.

Worcestershire’s top four all made starts but failed to reach 30. Ethan Brookes scored an unbeaten 56 off 28 balls to drive his side over the line with six wickets to spare and 13 balls in the bank.

Worcestershire Team News

Worcestershire’s batters need to produce their best display of the season, but they will be buoyed in their quest by the bowling form of Ben Dwarshuis, who has picked up 18 wickets at an average of 23.27.

Nottinghamshire Form

Nottinghamshire beat Durham by seven wickets to make it four wins from six.

An incredible bowling performance from Matthew Montgomery (4/30) saw him knock over four of Durham’s top six. Daniel Sams (4/26) helped run through the rest of the Durham side as they were bowled out for 156 off the last ball of their 20 overs.

Nottinghamshire timed their chase perfectly, reaching 159/3 off 18.4 overs. Joe Clarke (43 off 26 balls), Jack Haynes (55* off 40) and Moises Henriques (43 off 33) saw Notts home in style.

Nottinghamshire Team News

Nottinghamshire are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their line-up.

Verdict

Worcestershire v Nottinghamshire

I am backing Nottinghamshire to win. I am also backing Joe Clarke to top score for Nottinghamshire.

Ethan Brookes is a good bet to top score for the Worcestershire.
