Warwickshire Team News & Playing 11
WAS Team News
Although they lost their last game, on Thursday evening, to Northamptonshire Steelbacks by 11 runs, Warwickshire have enjoyed a fine group stage and come into this match at the top of the table. The Bears have also beaten Leicestershire Foxes in three of their last five head to heads.
WAS Team Batting
Requiring 198 to be Northamptonshire Steelbacks, Warwickshire fell to 0/2 and 11/3 before Sam Hain and Jacob Bethell gave them hope with half-centuries. Moeen Ali got a golden duck at the top of the order in that game but he is one of the cleanest hitting batters in T20 cricket and will be looking to make an impact in this match.
WAS Team Bowling
Zakary Foulkes and Moeen Ali were the only two players in Warwickshire’ bowling attack to go wicketless in the last game with Danny Briggs taking 2/38 and George Garton 1/6 from only two overs. Both bowlers will be key players for the Bears in this game.
WAS Team Form
In spite of topping the North Group, Warwickshire have lost two of their last three matches in the tournament.

Leicestershire Team News & Playing 11
LEI Team News
Last Sunday’s five wicket win with six balls remaining over bottom of the table Notts Outlaws was enough to lift Leicestershire Foxes into the top four places. However, their place in the knockout stages is not guaranteed as they are only one point above the sides in fifth, sixth and seventh.
LEI Team Batting
Rishi Patel has been Leicestershire Foxes’ standout batter across this campaign and he comes into this game as one of only six batters to have already hit 400+ runs in the tournament. Keeper-batter Ben Cox will come in as the finisher lower down the order whilst Rehan Ahmed is enjoying his attacking role at number three.
LEI Team Bowling
Scott Currie comes into this match on Friday as Leicestershire Foxes’ top wicket taker so far in the 2024 Vitality Blast and he has best figures of 4/25 in the tournament. James Neesham has plenty of experience which will be vital against this Warwickshire side.
LEI Team Form
Leicestershire Foxes are ending the group stage in fine form and are looking for their third win in a row in this match.
🏆 Warwickshire vs Leicestershire Prediction
This looks like being a very exciting game with Leicestershire Foxes in fine form and Warwickshire sitting at the top of the table. Our prediction is for a close contest but with home advantage we are backing Warwickshire to come out on top.
