T20 Blast 2022: NOR vs WOR Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between Northamptonshire and Worcestershire

The 61^st match of the T20 Blast will witness Northamptonshire lock horns with Worcestershire at the Country Ground in Northampton. The former are in good form this season, holding the second place in the North Group Points Table with nine points to their name, and they will look to win the upcoming fixture to try and reach on top of the table.

Worcestershire, on the other hand, have had a very poor season this time and are placed last in the North Group Points Table with just one victory from six games. With hardly any chances of making it to the next level of the tournament, Worcestershire will aim for a win to put a brief pause on Northamptonshire’s winning run.
