Spinner Danny Briggs came in for pace bowler Henry Brookes in Birmingham Bears’ fixture in Northampton on Wednesday night. Neither have taken a wicket in their last appearances and we expect Brookes to get the nod on a quicker surface at Edgbaston.

Any T20 squad with Moeen Ali, Brett D’Oliveira, Colin Munro, Dwayne Bravo and Patrick Brown in the side should not be at the bottom of any league. However, Moeen returned from England’s trip to the Netherlands with a slight injury and missed Thursday’s game and will also miss this match.
Worcestershire Rapids’ only victory in this season’s T20 Blast came on Friday June 3. They have struggled throughout the competition.
Ed Pollock, Brett D’Oliveira, Jake Libby, Colin Munro (c), Ed Barnard, Kashif Ali, Gareth Roderick (wk), Dwayne Bravo, Josh Baker, Patrick Brown, Mitchell Stanley

With Worcestershire Rapids without their captain and enduring a torrid season in this format, the bookies have Birmingham Bears as heavy favourites.
Sam Hain and Adam Hose continue to pile on the runs for Birmingham Bears whereas Worcestershire Rapids are overly reliant on Colin Munro and Brett D’Oliveira.
For Birmingham Bears, Sam Hain, Adam Hose and Alex Davies are our batting tips. Davies hit 42 runs from only 18 balls against Northamptonshire Steelbacks.
Colin Munro, Brett D’Oliveira and Jake Libby are our batting recommendations for Worcestershire Rapids. Libby has scored five half-centuries in this format.
Jake Lintott, Henry Brookes and Olly Stone are our bowling tips for Birmingham Bears. Stone dismissed Jimmy Neesham in the win over Northamptonshire Steelbacks.
Dwayne Bravo, Patrick Brown and Mitchell Stanley are our bowling tips for Worcestershire Rapids. Brown has 10 wickets so far in this campaign.
