Warwickshire vs Nottinghamshire Prediction
Nottinghamshire have a slight upper hand when it comes to head-to-head count as they have beaten Warwickshire 7 times out of 12 in the tournament. And they are the in-form team with seven victories in their previous eight matches. But having said that, it must not be forgotten that Warwickshire are playing on their home ground where they have won three of their last four matches. Home advantage is definitely a big plus point for them and so we predict the hosts to win this match and claim their second NatWest T20 Blast title.
Final Verdict: Back Warwickshire to beat Nottinghamshire in the Final of the NatWest T20 Blast 2017 at 2.18 with betfair and 2.10 with bet365.
