WAS Team News
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.

Worcestershire Team News & Playing 11
WOR Team News
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.
WOR Key Players
- Brett D’Oliveira - The top order batter captains the side in the County Championship and is their leading run scorer in this season’s T20 Blast.
- Colin Munro - The New Zealand batter has a very strong T20 record across the globe. He began this spell with the Rapids with successive half-centuries and hit 29 runs from 25 balls against Yorkshire Vikings.
- Dwayne Bravo - The West Indian bowling all-rounder has been effective but maybe not as successful as the Worcestershire management would have hoped. He dismissed Jonathan Tattersall on Thursday.
WOR Team Form
Worcestershire Rapids’ only victory in this season’s T20 Blast came on Friday June 3. They have struggled throughout the competition.
Worcestershire Predicted Playing 11
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

🏆 Warwickshire vs Worcestershire Prediction
Birmingham Bears will believe they can beat anyone in this competition after beating form side Northamptonshire Steelbacks in the last game. Worcestershire Rapids have been the worst side in the tournament this year and, in spite of the fact that they beat the Bears last time out, we are predicting a win for Birmingham.
