Warwickshire Team News & Playing 11
Sam Hain has been Warwickshire's best batsman this season and after having scored in 20s in his previous two innings, the team will want him to produce a big knock in this match. Skipper Ian Bell had clubbed a 75 not-out in the reverse fixture and so Worcestershire will look to get his wicket early on. Jeetan Patel will be the one to watch out for with the ball. The offspinner is one of the season's leading wicket-takers with 14 wickets to his name.

Worcestershire Team News & Playing 11
The team's batting is going to depend largely on Joe Clarke who has by far been the most consistent of all the batsmen in the side. Averaging 49.66, the opener has scored the most runs for Worcestershire so far and he will be coming on the back of a spectacular 53-ball 124 against Durham in the last game. Brett D'Oliveira picked up a wicket in that match while conceding just 16 runs off his four overs and Worcestershire will expect the legspinner to bowl well once again.

Worcestershire got outplayed when these two teams met earlier at Worcester this season. But they will gain plenty of hope from the fact that they beat Warwickshire in both their encounters last year. Warwickshire however do have the home advantage in their favor and they have won three of their last five matches at the Edgbaston. Further, four successive wins means that the hosts will have lots of momentum on their side which is another reason why we predict them to win this game.
