Warwickshire Team News & Playing 11
Ian Bell hit five fifties and scored 489 runs last year to become the leading run-getter for Warwickshire. Sam Hain was also among the runs and he along with Bell will be the ones to watch out for with the bat. Rikki Clarke and Oliver Hannon-Dalby were quite good with the ball in the 2016 edition. Both picked up 15 and 12 wickets respectively and Warwickshire will want these two seamers to replicate that performance this season.

Riki Wessels ranked among the tournament's top 10 batsman in the previous season with 420 runs under his belt from 12 innings. Once again, he will be expected to get the big runs for Nottinghamshire. Alex Hales has also shown good form in T20 cricket of late and he too will be the key in this batting lineup. Harry Gurney and Samit Patel will pose the biggest challenge to Warwickshire. The two were the pick of the lot last year with 17 and 16 wickets apiece.

Birmingham Bears vs Nottinghamshire Prediction
Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire have faced each other 10 times in the past with the former winning on six of those occasions. Both teams won one game each out of the two between them last season. Nottinghamshire will take confidence from the fact that they have beaten Warwickshire in their most match which was played at the Edgbaston. However, Warwickshire (Birmingham Bears) will have the home advantage on their side and they have more international names on their roster which makes them a little stronger on paper. We thus predict the hosts to win this game.
Final Verdict: Back Birmingham Bears to beat Nottinghamshire Outlaws in this North Group match of the NatWest T20 Blast 2017.
