DER vs WOR Match Prediction : T20 Blast 2025

Derbyshire come into this clash buoyed by a commanding chase against Yorkshire, where they knocked off 200 with more than two overs to spare. Aneurin Donald’s explosive 85 off 30 set the tone, while Wayne Madsen and Ross Whiteley steered the chase with maturity.

Their bowling remains a concern though—Zak Chappell and Patrick Brown both went for over 9 RPO, and despite AM Ghazanfar’s economical spell (4-0-21-2), death bowling will be tested against deeper lineups.

Samit Patel’s all-round control adds valuable balance, and Derbyshire’s batting firepower—especially in home conditions—can compensate for occasional inconsistency with the ball.

Worcestershire, meanwhile, are fresh off a clinical win over Northamptonshire, chasing 153 in under 17 overs. Kashif Ali’s 88 (47) was the standout, supported by useful cameos from Roderick and Brookes. The bowling unit is clicking—Adam Finch and Khurram Shahzad delivered disciplined spells, and Dwarshuis continues to be a handful with the new ball.

There are concerns at the top—Oliveira and Isaac Mohammed have struggled for fluency—but their depth and recent form make them a tricky opponent. They’ll need a strong bowling show to counter Derbyshire’s red-hot top order.

Bet on Derbyshire to win.
