LEI vs WOR Team Previews

Leicestershire

The Leicestershire Foxes team played their game against Yorkshire yesterday. In this day-night affair played at the Leeds, Leicestershire managed to set a score of 195 runs for the loss of 5 wickets from their quota of 20 overs. However, their bowlers were unable to defend this score as the Yorkshire team made light work of this chase scoring the runs with 8 wickets and 11 balls to spare. Dawid Malan played a super 79-run knock from 45 balls to help Yorkshire to their 6th straight win in the T20 Blast this year.

Earlier in the game, Louis Kimber hammered a career-best innings of 59 runs from 38 balls for Leicestershire to take the Foxes to a good score of 195 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. The Foxes got off to a mixed start to their inning but Kimber ensured that his team was able to set a competitive total on the board. But a win was not possible for Leicestershire as Malan and Adam Lyth were involved in a 158 runs stand for the opening wicket from 14 overs. After being asked to bat first, Leicestershire raced to a score of 63 runs from 6 overs.

Nick Welch scored 39 runs from the opening wicket stand. The Yorkshire fightback began in the 7th over. It was left to Kimber to take his side to a good total as he was equally strong on both sides of the wicket. Wiann Mulder provided the necessary support to Kimber scoring a quick 31 from 17 balls towards the end of the innings with 2 sixes and 2 fours. Michael Finan was the only successful bowler for Leicestershire picking up both wickets to fall for 35 runs from 3.1 overs. Callum Parkinson bowled reasonably economically giving away 28 runs from 4 overs.

Worcestershire

In their last game of the competition, Worcestershire played against Birmingham yesterday at the venue of Worcester. They had to take a defeat against the Bears in the North Group encounter. Batting first, Birmingham Bears scored 196 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. The Worcestershire reply fell short by 21 runs as they could muster up just 175 runs for the loss of 6 wickets from their 20 overs. The Birmingham Bears team saw good contributions from their top order viz. Rob Yates, Alex Davies, and Chris Benjamin.

However, none of the top-order batters could get a huge score. It was left to Dan Mousley to provide real impetus to the innings and he obliged. Mousley hit 49 runs from 28 balls with 3 sixes and 2 fours. Jacob Bethall smacked a few big hits lower down the order to ensure that Birmingham Bears had a competitive score on the board. Bethell scored 32 from 13 balls. The Worcestershire team lost a couple of early wickets during their inning. But after that Brett D'Oliveira hit a useful fifty from 38 balls with 5 fours and 1 six.

Mitchell Santner and Adam Hose batted well in the middle order scoring 26 and 36 runs respectively. But it was all in vain as they never really were in the striking distance of the target set by Birmingham Bears. Usama Mir smashed a few lusty blows towards the end scoring 32 runs from 16 balls but the damage was done earlier when the Bears were allowed to get close to 200 run mark. Usama Mir was also the top bowler for Birmingham Bear picking up 3 wickets for 22 runs from his 4 overs. He not only picked wickets but put breaks on the Bears' progress to a degree.

Worcestershire Playing 11
