Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire will take the field for the first time this week in the T20 Blast. The Birmingham Bears last played on Friday and Nottinghamshire on Saturday last week. The two sides are in same position in the North Group and are only separated by NRR. The Warwickshire club, led by Jeetan Patel, won their first two completed games before losing against Northamptonshire.

Fidel Edwards, who was brought in on a loan by Birmingham has excelled with the ball starting with a 3-wicket over on his debut. Nottinghamshire, on the other hand, have been slightly inconsistent. They began with a defeat against the defending champions Worcestershire but bounced back with consecutive victories. They fell 21 runs short of Leicestershire in the 11-over game at home in their previous fixture.
