Lancashire vs Worcestershire Prediction
A string of underwhelming performances has dashed the quarter-finals hopes for Worcestershire Rapids who are placed second to bottom on the points table with 8 defeats from 12 matches. They will be coming after having lost their last three matches in a row which is something that will dent their confidence even further. Lancashire Lightning have a nearly immaculate record against Worcestershire, beating them seven times out of eight. Plus, they will be playing on their home ground where they haven't faced defeat in the last seven matches. Lancashire have beaten Worcestershire four times out of five here and we predict them to add one more win to their tally on Wednesday.
Final Verdict: Back Lancashire Lightning to beat Worcestershire Rapids in this North Group fixture of the NatWest T20 Blast 2017.
