NOR vs WAS Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 Blast 2022
Northamptonshire host Warwickshire on Wednesday evening in the 2022 Vitality Blast. Northamptonshire are in third place in the North Group but would have gone top had they won on Tuesday evening. Warwickshire are in third place with six wins and 12 points on the board so far. The match begins at The County Ground, Northampton at 18:30 local time.
Northamptonshire could have leap frogged over Lancashire Lightning but instead saw Derbyshire Falcons jump over them after Tuesday’s game. The Steelbacks will still harbour ambitions of winning the North Group.
Warwickshire had a brilliant 55 run victory over Notts Outlaws a couple of games ago but they lost their last match on Sunday to Derbyshire Falcons. They need a victory to cement their place in the top four.

Northamptonshire Team News & Playing 11
NOR Team News
Australian opener Chris Lynn returned to the Steelbacks’ XI for Tuesday’s defeat against Derbyshire Falcons after missing the win over Lancashire Lightning and the no-result on Saturday against Worcestershire Rapids. The team which took the field on Tuesday looks the strongest and we expect no changes ahead of this match.
NOR Key Players
- Chris Lynn - The experienced opener could only make 5 runs on his return to the side but he still has a very healthy average of 94.75 in the 2022 Vitality Blast.
- Jimmy Neesham - The New Zealand all-rounder hit 28 runs from 20 balls on Tuesday evening and dismissed Wayne Madsen who was going at a strike-rate of over 200.
- Tom Taylor - The 27 year old bowling all-rounder went wicketless against Derbyshire Falcons but has taken eight wickets from his last three T20 appearances in Northampton.
NOR Team Form
Northamptonshire have been unable to build on their victory over Lancashire Lightning from last Friday. It was an easy win for Derbyshire Falcons on Tuesday and the Steelbacks need to regain their edge.
Northamptonshire Predicted Playing 11
Ben Curran, Chris Lynn, Josh Cobb (c), Saif Zaib, Rob Keogh, Jimmy Neesham, Lewis McManus (wk), Tom Taylor, Graeme White, Ben Sanderson, Freddie Heldreich
Warwickshire Team News & Playing 11
WAS Team News
In spite of the big win over Notts Outlaws on Friday evening at Trent Bridge, the Bears made two changes ahead of their home fixture against Derbyshire Falcons on Sunday. In came Paul Stirling and Henry Brookes in place of Danny Briggs and Dan Mousley. We expect Briggs to return to the team for this match.
WAS Key Players
- Paul Stirling - The Irish opener got off to an excellent start in the competition with a century against Northamptonshire. However, he has struggled recently and will be looking to re-find his form in this match.
- Sam Hain - The middle order batter is in exceptional form for the Bears. He has scores of 130, 112 not out and 73 not out from his last three appearances.
- Jake Lintott - The short format specialist has not been at his best over the last few games. However, he has plenty of experience in T20 cricket and took 3-19 in the clash against Northamptonshire earlier in the campaign.
WAS Team Form
Warwickshire have won three of their last five games in the competition but they were well beaten in their last match and need to respond with a victory to regain some winning momentum.
Warwickshire Predicted Playing 11
Paul Stirling, Alex Davies (wk), Rob Yates, Sam Hain, Adam Hose, Chris Benjamin, Carlos Brathwaite (c), Jake Lintott, Henry Brookes, Craig Miles, Olly Stone
