Birmingham Bears
Worcestershire come into this fixture brimming with confidence, fresh from a commanding 6-wicket win over Northamptonshire at the County Ground. Their batsmen pursued a stiff target of 152, guided by solid knocks from Isaac Mohammed, Brett D’Oliveira, and Kashif Ali, securing victory with over three overs to spare.
In contrast, Warwickshire suffered a narrow but telling 8-run loss to Durham at the Riverside. Despite a strong total of 174/8, their bowlers couldn’t hold the chase, and key wickets in the death overs slipped away .
Worcestershire’s batting has shown depth in recent matches; their ability to chase tense targets while maintaining composure under pressure has been a hallmark. Isaac Mohammed and D’Oliveira have anchored the middle order, while Kashif Ali’s cameo provided the punch when needed. Bowler Ben Sanderson (2/24) and seamers Adam Finch and Tom Taylor posed consistent threats, helping dismantle the opposition .
Warwickshire, meanwhile, rely heavily on their top order—Alex Davies, Tom Latham, and Sam Hain—to set the tone. However, their bowling has come under scrutiny. Their seam attack, led by George Garton, Hasan Ali, and Danny Briggs, leaked crucial runs in the final overs against Durham, which ultimately cost them the game .
This clash could be decided by whether Worcestershire can sustain their chase-focused momentum and Yorkshire-like calm under pressure, or if Warwickshire will bounce back through disciplined bowling and a quick start with the bat.
