WRW vs NOT Match Preview
The Birmingham team took on Derbyshire in their last game. Warwickshire won the toss and elected to field first. The Derbyshire team made a good start to their inning and had a decent scoring rate in the beginning. They also continued the good work in the middle overs where they didn’t drop too many wickets. The Bears were successful in accelerating the run rate toward the end of the innings. Tom Wood was mainly responsible for accelerating the inning toward the end. Wood provided a top finish to the inning helping the Derbyshire team to put together 174 runs for the loss of 5 wickets.
The Birmingham team in their reply did not get off to a good start. They lost 4 wickets even before the powerplay overs were finished with the score sitting at 43 runs. But they did witness a good partnership for the 6th wicket. However, it was not possible to recover from the early damage they received in their inning. The Derbyshire team won the game by 17 runs in the end. The Warwickshire team has several good all-rounders in the team such as Moeen Ali who is a good batting all-rounder and Ed Barnard, Jacob Bethell, Carlos Brathwaite, Ethan Brookes, and Glenn Maxwell are others.
Notts went up against Worcestershire in their last game where they won the toss and decided to field first. It was a dream inning played by Worcestershire batters. It appeared as if everyone coming into bat was having a great day with the bat. The openers realized a partnership of 98 runs from just 7 overs. The middle order batting was just a continuation of the top order batting as they kept the pressure on Notts bowlers to raise a massive total of 226 runs. During the chase, Notts did make a good beginning but apart from their openers, none of the other batters managed to reach double figures.
The Notts team in the end was bowled out for 170 and the Worcestershire picked up a heavy win by a margin of 56 runs. The Notts Outlaws have some good all-rounders in their team such as Calvin Harrison, Brett Hutton, Lyndon James, Tom Loten, Steven Mullaney, and Liam Patterson-White. The Notts' top-order batting will be in the hands of players such as Joe Clarke, Ben Duckett, Alex Hales, Haseeb Hameed, Ben Slater, and Colin Munro. The Notts will be looking at Steven Mullaney and Samit Patel to pick up vital breakthroughs in the game.

It is likely to offer help to both quicker bowlers and spinners. The outfield at Edgbaston is well-maintained and fast so, the ball will travel to the boundaries quickly.
