DER vs WRW Match Prediction & Analysis
Can Derbyshire’s inconsistency be credited to their lack of reliable players in both departments? They’ve delivered some competitive totals but lacked a consolidated effort from both batters and bowlers.
The Falcons will be up against the Bears in their second home game of the season. They beat Northants Steelbacks in their last match here by 24 runs (DLS method). Aneurin Donald’s 68 off 26 balls while opening the innings for Derbyshire ensured they were way ahead of the DSL par score while chasing 194 runs.
It is a great venue for T20 cricket that has witnessed some big totals like 231 by Derbyshire and 94 all-out, also by Derbyshire. Birmingham Bears finally secured a win after two back-to-back games.
They were not the favorites going into the match against Yorkshire Vikings. However, their bowlers stepped up to the occasion and put the Bears in a winning position. The middle-order batters looked promising in the successful run-chase against the Vikings and will have all eyes on them in this match.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Derbyshire Preview
Derbyshire look strong enough at this point in the league stage. Though they’ve been inconsistent when it comes to wins, their performances have been quite strong consistently.
What they’ve lacked is a consolidated, team effort. And it is one or two players who’ve led them to victory. Aneurin Donald was right on the money as the Falcons began their run chase in the last match.
Chasing a 194-run total, it was exactly the kind of start Derbyshire needed. In their previous game against Yorkshire at Headingley, Donald was the top-scorer with 84 off 41 balls.
However, apart from him and David Lloyd, no other batter stepped up to push the total even further as the Falcons finished with 179 runs on the board while batting first.
Derbyshire have been impressive with the bat in both home games so far. They posted a 198-run total in their first match here against the Notts Outlaws. Wayne Madsen scored a fifty at number 4 in that innings while Brooke Guest and Ross Whiteley played finishing knocks in the lower order.
This is what has lacked in recent matches for Derbyshire. The middle and lower middle order has struggled to find its form. This will be an opportunity to do the same but they will also be facing a tough challenge from the Bears who are confident with the ball.
For the Falcons, bowling has been a major concern in recent outings. Since their win over Notts, they’ve struggled to put pressure on the opposition with the ball.
Daryn Dupavillon, Zak Chappell, and Patrick Brown will be the key players expected to stage a comeback with the ball for Derbyshire
Derbyshire Predicted Playing XI:
David Lloyd, Aneurin Donald, Cam Fletcher, Wayne Madsen, Samit Patel (c), Brooke Guest (wk), Ross Whiteley, Zak Chappell, Mitchell Wagstaff, Patrick Brown, Daryn Dupavillon

Birmingham Bears Preview
After failing to chase 177 and 195 runs in their two consecutive losses, Birmingham Bears bounced back as they faced Yorkshire Vikings at home in the last match.
This time around, their bowlers delivered a much better performance to restrict the opposition to 145 runs. And though it doesn’t look like a big total to chase, the Bears lost 6 wickets on their way to victory.
The bowlers will be the key to a win here for the Bears. They’ve looked in good touch and will be expected to carry the momentum. Chris Woakes, Richard Gleeson, and Hasan Ali will be leading the pace attack.
They’ve got 3 spinners - Danny Briggs, Dan Mousley, and Jake Lintott. Mousley is also crucial in the batting lineup at number 3. We reckon the most crucial batsman in this side to watch out for will be Jacob Bethell.
The 20-year-old batting all-rounder from Barbados has been in great touch and scored a quickfire 32 off 15 balls at number 5 in their recent win over the Vikings. He was the top-scorer in the previous game scoring 50 off 32.
With Sam Hain also finding his rhythm, the Bears look much stronger now as far as batting is concerned. The openers haven’t been consistent and that is a big concern for Birmingham going ahead.
Birmingham Bears Predicted Playing XI:
Alex Davies (c & wk), Robert Yates, Sam Hain, Dan Mousley, Jacob Bethell, Chris Woakes, Jake Lintott, Danny Briggs, Chris Benjamin, Richard Gleeson, Hasan Ali

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a great wicket that offers an even contest between the bat and the ball. Though the last game was a high-scoring one dominated by batters, we reckon there is enough help on offer for the bowlers as well. The weather will be partly cloudy with a high of 18 degrees Celsius in Derby on the match day.
DER vs WRW Pitch Report
County Ground in Derby will be the venue for this T20 Blast 2024 match. This will be the 3rd match of this season at this venue. Derbyshire Falcons have won both of their home games so far. The average 1st innings score here is 167 runs but looking at the recent matches here, we reckon even a 190+ score will not be safe on this ground.
Toss: To Bat
The teams batting first and second have won almost an equal number of matches on this ground. While there is no clear advantage to either batting or bowling first, we reckon having runs on the board can be a big plus in this match.
DER vs WRW
Winning Prediction
Birmingham Bears have bounced back and look very promising while the hosts, on the other hand, have some major issues in their consistency. Nevertheless, Derbyshire Falcons, with the home advantage, and a slightly stronger squad, will have the edge going into this contest and start as favorites in our match prediction.
