NOR Team News
There was a first appearance of the season for Freddie Heldreich on Monday and he celebrated by taking one wicket from his three overs. We expect he will retain his place in the side which is unlikely to change with no injury worries in the squad.
NOR Key Players
- Chris Lynn - The experienced Australian opener is yet to find his top form in the 2023 T20 Blast but still managed to hit 31 runs in the win over Derbyshire Falcons.
- David Willey - The skipper is a fine all-rounder and can win a game in this format with either bat or ball. He took 1-21 as well as hitting 31 runs from 25 balls in the last match.
- Andrew Tye - The 36 year old right-arm medium fast Australian has taken three wickets from the opening three matches of the tournament and will relish bowling at Glenn Maxwell in this game.
NOR Team Form
Northamptonshire got their first win of the campaign by a margin of 6 wickets in the last game. It was an impressive performance with both bat and ball

WAS Team News
Alex Davies’ side became the first team to beat Lancashire Lightning in the Vitality T20 Blast 2023 with a convincing victory on Monday. Although this game will be played in Northampton on a pitch which will offer something different we expect to see the same XI selected.

🏆 Northamptonshire vs Warwickshire Prediction
Warwickshire have an excellent recent record over Northamptonshire and are also in fine form. As a result, it will be a very tough evening for the Steelbacks but they do have a chance after winning their last match. Danny Briggs is in fine form with the ball for the Bears and they have plenty of big run scorers in their team. Our prediction is for Warwickshire to get another win in this fixture.
