Nottinghamshire were thumped by a 28 run in their first game of the T20 Blast 2019 by the defending champions Worcestershire. The Notts kept taking wickets in the first innings as the Worcestershire were reeling at 102/6 in the 16th over. No.8 batsman Ed Barnard scored a quick-fire 42* to take his team past a solid total of 160+. Skipper Moeen Ali scored 32; the only other batsman to cross 30+.

Nottingham were fancying their chances with Alex Hales at the crease but once the opening batsman got out, the rest of the team kept losing wickets and failed to achieve the required rate. They will now face Yorkshire in their first away game. The Tom Kohler-Cadmore led Yorkshire will play their first game of the tournament. Nicholas Pooran is expected to be the star attraction in the Yorkshire squad.
