DER Team News
Although there were rain delays and Duckworth Lewis had to be used, Derbyshire Falcons recorded another win on Friday evening when they defeated Northamptonshire Steelbacks by 24 runs. The Falcons return to the same venue only two days later for this game looking to defeat the Bears.
DER Team Batting
The opening pair of David Lloyd (33 not out from 29 balls) and Aneurin Donald (68 runs from 26 balls) were key to Derbyshire Falcons’ success against Northamptonshire on Friday with the pair putting on 94 for the first wicket. Wayne Madsen, batting at three, gives the Falcons a very strong top three for this match.
DER Team Bowling
Derbyshire Falcons have a very strong pace attack and we saw Daryn Dupavillon (3/43), Zak Chappell (2/34) and Pat Brown (1/39) in the wickets in the last game. Samit Patel is likely to be used in a defensive role with the quick bowlers encouraged to concentrate on pace against this Birmingham batting line-up.
DER Team Form
Derbyshire Falcons have won three of their last five in this year’s T20 Blast.

WAS Team News
After losing their two previous games in the North Group to Lancashire Lightning by eight runs and by 26 runs to Durham, Birmingham Bears returned to winning ways with a four wicket victory over Yorkshire Vikings at home on Friday evening.
WAS Team Batting
The powerful trio batting at numbers 3, 4 and 5 were critical for Birmingham Bears in their win over Yorkshire Vikings as both their openers were dismissed for single figure scores. Even lower down the order, they have the talent of Chris Woakes and Danny Briggs at numbers seven and eight.
WAS Team Bowling
England international Chris Woakes was the only bowler for the Bears to go wicketless against Yorkshire Vikings but he is such a consistent performer that we expect him to return to his peak in this game. Left-arm wrist spinner Jake Lintott took 3/15 and he will turn the ball here in Derby, as will Danny Briggs.
WAS Team Form
Birmingham Bears had lost successive games before their win on Friday which means they have won three of their last five.
Warwickshire Predicted Playing 11

🏆 Derbyshire vs Warwickshire Prediction
After Friday’s games left these two sides in third and fourth place, this could be a very competitive clash. They are level on points but although Birmingham Bears have played one match fewer, it is Derbyshire who have home advantage. We think that Derbyshire Falcons have their key players in top form so we are backing them to win.
