Worcestershire vs Northamptonshire Prediction

Richard Levi has been their best batsman this year, with two fifties in the first two games and 44 in the third. The opener has 163 runs under his belt and is expected to top-score again for Northamptonshire on Friday. Josh Cobb scored an unbeaten 56 in the reverse fixture against Worcestershire while Ben Duckett has also made significant contributions in every match.

Fast bowler Rory Kleinveldt has been the most impressive of the lot. He took two wickets against Worcestershire who will be looking out for him when the two sides square off again. Seekkuge Prasanna has taken three wickets and has bowled with an impressive economy rate, making him another bowler to watch out for in this competition.

Our Prediction

Both the teams have begun their Natwest T20 Blast 2016 campaign in style. Northamptonshire Steelbacks have already won against Worcestershire Rapids this year and this will give them an edge when they face them again on Friday. However, the latter have a better overall head-to-head record with 3 wins in 5 games. Also, since they will be playing on their home ground, they will be more familiar with the conditions.

Though Northamptonshire Steelbacks are on a roll and are yet to taste defeat this season, we're backing Worcestershire Rapids here to win on their home turf.
