HEAD TO HEAD

TEAMS PREVIEW

Birmingham Bears Preview

Alex Davies and his men have struggled with consistency this season. The team defeated the Yorkshire Vikings by 32 runs in the last game. The batting lineup delivered the goods and looked confident. They must build on this momentum and gain consistency for the rest of the season. They enjoy a good record against the Notts Outlaws, and Davies would like his players to take inspiration from their past wins.  

Alex Davies and Tom Latham are experienced batters, and the team expects a strong start from the pair. Dan Mousley, Sam Hain, and Ed Barnard have struggled with consistency in the middle order, and the team needs them to build partnerships. Moeen Ali, Kia Smith, and George Garton are good hitters and will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.   

The bowling attack hasn't looked in great shape this season. Garton and Hasan Ali have leaked runs, and the team needs early wickets to put the Notts Outlaws under pressure. Dan Mousley and Ed Barned bowled tight spells in the last game and shall look to do the same. The team expects a strong show in the ing roles of Moeen Ali and Danny Briggs.

Birmingham Bears Predicted Playing XI:

Alex Davies (c & wk), Tom Latham, Dan Mousley, Moeen Ali, Sam Hain, Ed Barnard, George Garton, Kai Smith, Hasan Ali, Danny Briggs, Jake Lintott

Birmingham Bears Actual Playing XI:

Alex Davies, Moeen Ali, Hasan Ali, Ed Barnard, Danny Briggs, Sam Hain, Jake Lintott, Dan Mousley, Tom Latham, Kai Smith, George Garton

Nottinghamshire Preview

Joe Clarke and his team will be under a lot of pressure. After making a good start to the season, the side has lost steam, with three losses. They went down against the Derbyshire Falcons in the last game by 46 runs. The team will look to make a strong comeback and keep hopes alive for the rest of the season. Clarke expects the senior players in the team to do well in this contest.  

Joe Clarke has been consistent this year, and he must lead from the front and deliver a good start with Lyndon James. The middle order has let the side down in the last few games, and they need partnerships between Jack Haynes, Freddie McCann, and Matthew Montgomery. Tom Moores and Daniel Sams must use their hitting abilities to get the team to a big total.  

The bowling attack didn't execute its plans in the last game. Dillon Pennington and Daniel Sams must get early breakthroughs to put the team in a strong position. Robert Lord and Calvin Harrison struggled in the last game, and the team needs better spells. Liam Patterson-White and Lyndon James add variety to the attack and must do well. 

Nottinghamshire Predicted Playing XI:

Joe Clarke (c), Lyndon James, Jack Haynes, Freddie McCann, Tom Moores (wk), Matthew Montgomery, Daniel Sams, Liam Patterson-White, Calvin Harrison, Robert Lord, Dillon Pennington

Nottinghamshire Actual Playing XI:

Farhan Ahmed, Joe Clarke, Calvin Harrison, Jack Haynes, Lyndon James, Freddie McCann, Matthew Montgomery, Tom Moores, Liam Patterson-White, Dillon Pennington, Daniel Sams

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Birmingham will be clear during the game, though we may see odd clouds. The batting conditions will be excellent, with a flat surface and the ball coming onto the bat nicely. The average first-inning score is 146 runs, and the team batting first should look to have 180 on the board.

WRW vs NOT Pitch Report

Edgbaston, Birmingham, has a lively surface that allows fast bowlers to extract bounce from the track. Batsmen have also enjoyed a good record as the ball comes onto the bat nicely, allowing them to play their strokes. The large dimensions of the ground also offer spinners a good opportunity to experiment with flight and turn.

Toss: To Bowl

The side chasing the score in the last three games has won twice. The wicket is good for batting and allows teams to chase big totals on the surface. The side winning the toss won't hesitate to bowl first and aim at restricting the opponents to a small total.
