LAN vs WRW Team Previews
Lancashire
Lancashire have beaten Durham, lost to Worcestershire and then beaten Derbyshire to start their 2024 T20 Blast campaign with relative success. They will be hard pressed against a motivated Birmingham Bears out. This is sure to be an entertaining encounter at Old Trafford.
Luke Wells and Matthew Hurst have been at the fore of Lancashire's push with the bat this tournament. Neither have hit a half-century yet, but have been consistent regardless. Steven Croft has hit a half-ton this tournament and can build on that 52 not out against Worcestershire.
Chris Green has been Lancashire's most prolific bowler in this season's Blast. He has already taken six wickets. It's an impressive feat for a spinner to average two wickets per match for an extended period in this short format. Green can perform well with the new ball or an older one.
Lancashire Playing 11
Luke Wells, Josh Bohannon, Keaton Jennings, Tom Bruce, Matthew Hurst, Steven Croft, Chris Green, Luke Wood, Jack Blatherwick, Saqib Mahmood, Mitchell Stanley.
Birmingham Bears
The Bears are undefeated in this year's Blast. They have defeated Nottinghamshire and Durham across a couple of convincing performances. Whether they can collect a third win on the trot remains in the balance. They will be away from their homeground and up against table-topping Lancashire.
Rob Yates has been the Bears' best batter of the tournament so far. He has hit 97 runs in two innings. Yates has more than double the number of runs than any Birmingham team-mate. Sam Hain, who is eager to build on his burgeoning England career, has been solid support of Yates.
Hasan Ali continues to impress in the T20 Blast. Omitted from Pakistan's squad for the T20 World Cup in the United States of America and Caribbean, he is proving a point to the national selectors. Ali has five wickets in two matches this Blast - and is bowling with characteristically high energy and pace.
Birmingham Bears Playing 11
Alex Davies, Robert Yates, Chris Benjamin, Sam Hain, Dan Mousley, Jacob Bethell, George Garton, Danny Briggs, Hasan Ali, Jake Lintott, Richard Gleeson.
LAN vs WRW Toss Prediction
The last two T20 Blast tosses at this venue have brought two decisions to bowl first. It's likely the team to win the toss this time will opt to do the same. Teams prefer to chase rather than set targets here.
Read our guide on toss predictions to learn how we analyze and come up with our tips.
Pitch and Conditions
Old Trafford has produced first-innings scores of 75 and 179 in this season's Blast. The first score was predictably not enough, while the second proved ample.
A first-innings total of 160-plus can be considered competitive at this venue. Each team should field one spinner and have a genuine swing bowler available. No rain is forecast in Manchester on matchday.
LAN vs WRW Betting Tips
These are two relatively evenly-matched teams. Lancashire should be able to take advantage of their homeground benefits and beat the Bears here. Lancashire's bowling resources have been in better form, in particular.
Bet on 1.90 favourites Lancashire to beat 2.10 underdogs Birmingham Bears.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Green will highly likely bowl with the new ball again - and have the opportunity to strike during the powerplay. He is Lancashire's top wicket-taker in this season's competition and primed for more success here.
Wells has been playing professional T20 cricket for more than 10 years and is in good form at the moment. He hit 49 not out against Durham and 34 versus Worcestershire.
Bet on the hosts to win the toss. There is a 50 percent chance of this happening. If Lancashire win the toss, they will probably choose to field first.
Yates was in Warwickshire's second XI a week ago, but has since hit two top knocks for the Bears in the Blast. Back him for another big performance for Birmingham. Momentum is with Yates.
Ali has taken 240 wickets in international cricket and is currently delivering on cue at domestic level. Anticipate another telling spell from the Pakistan pace ace.
