TEAMS PREVIEW

Leicestershire Preview

Louis Kimber's team suffered has suffered back-to-back losses. It was a bad day for the team as they struggled with the ball going down by 7 wickets against the Derbyshire Falcons in the last game. They return to their home for the game and enjoy a good record at this venue. Kimber would like a strong comeback from his players to win and improve their position on the points table.  

Rishi Patel has struggled with consistency, and the team expects him to deliver a good start with Soloman Budinger. Louis Kimber must anchor the innings in the middle order and add runs with Shan Masood and Rehan Ahmed. They have good hitters to follow, and we shall expect a strong performance from Ben Cox, Logan van Beek, and Liam Trevaskis in the game.  

The bowling attack must recover from its ordinary performance in the last two games, and they need tight spells from Matt Salisbury and Logan van Beek. Roman Walker and Liam Trevaskis haven't got their lines right, and the team expects a strong show from them in the middle overs. Rehan Ahmed and Tom Scriven must do well in the ing roles.

Leicestershire Predicted Playing XI:

Louis Kimber (c), Rishi Patel, Soloman Budinger, Shan Masood, Rehan Ahmed, Ben Cox (wk), Liam Trevaskis, Logan van Beek, Tom Scriven, Roman Walker, Matt Salisbury

Leicestershire Actual Playing XI:

Ben Mike, Rishi Patel, Louis Kimber, Rehan Ahmed, Tom Scriven, Sol Budinger, Matt Salisbury, Liam Trevaskis, Ben Cox, Logan van Beek, Shan Masood

Worcestershire Preview

Brett D'Oliveira’s team suffered a 7-wicket loss in the last game against the Lancashire Lightning. It was a poor show with the bat that cost them the last game. The team will look to make a strong comeback to improve their position on the points table. They don't have a good record at this venue and must improve their record.  

Brett D'Oliveira and Ed Pollock didn't trouble the scorers much, and the team needs them to put up a big partnership at the top. Jake Libby, Adam Hose, and Ethan Brookes must do well in the middle order, as it has been a problem area for the team this season. Gareth Roderick, Matthew Waite, and Ben Dwarshuis add depth to this batting lineup.  

Tom Taylor and Jacob Duffy must use the new ball well, as they failed to do it in the last game. Ben Dwarshuis is the key bowler in this attack and will look to strike in the middle overs with Fateh Singh. Matthew Waide and Brett D'Oliveira must bowl tight spells in the ing roles, as the Foxes have good hitters.

Worcestershire Predicted Playing XI:

Brett D'Oliveira (c), Ed Pollock, Jake Libby, Adam Hose, Ethan Brookes, Gareth Roderick (wk), Ben Dwarshuis, Matthew Waite, Fateh Singh, Tom Taylor, Jacob Duffy

Worcestershire Actual Playing XI:

Adam Hose, Ed Pollock, Jake Libby, Ethan Brookes, Matthew Waite, Tom Ian Hinley, Tom Taylor, Gareth Roderick, Ben Dwarshuis, Fateh Singh, Jacob Duffy

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There are predictions for cloudy skies and rains at Leicester. Bowlers would enjoy bowling under these conditions as the ball will move around. Batsmen must be watchful and play their strokes with caution. The average first-innings score is 163 runs, and the team batting first will need 180 on the board to feel safe. 

LEI vs WOR Pitch Report

Grace Road, Leicester, is a small venue and has been a favorite ground for the batsmen. Big scores are here, as batsmen can play through the line. However, the track also offers good assistance to the fast bowlers. It isn't the best venue for the spinners as the small size of the venue makes it difficult for them to trouble batsmen. 

Toss: To Bowl

In the last 10 games at this venue, the side chasing the score has won seven times. Teams fancy their chances of chasing scores at this venue as there is assistance for the bowlers early in the game. The side that wins the toss in this game should have little hesitation in bowling first on this wicket.
