Match Details

Worcestershire will meet Nottinghamshire in the second match of the T20 Blast 2021 at the New Road in Worcester on Wednesday (June 9).

This match will get underway at 10 PM IST, and the live streaming will be available on FanCode.

Preview

Worcestershire and Nottinghamshire have been slotted in the North Group alongside seven other teams. This will be the first game for both these sides in the competition, and they would want nothing less than a win. Nottinghamshire have been one of the teams to beat in the County Championship this season and would be confident ahead of this fixture.

However, they can’t afford to be complacent as Worcestershire have a knack of thriving under pressure. Their consistent performances have guided them to the T20 Blast Finals Day twice in the last three years. This season, the Moeen Ali-led side would like to go one step further and clinch the title.

Captaincy Picks

Moeen Ali

The England all-rounder was in red-hot form during his stint with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the now-postponed IPL 2021. Ali played several fiery knocks in the tournament and also troubled batsmen with his handy off-spins. Moreover, the southpaw is well-versed with the Worcester conditions, and the visitors must beware of him.

Ben Dwarshuis

Ben Dwarshuis is yet to get a game at the highest level, but the Australian pacer has been doing exceptionally well in T20 competitions. The right-arm fast bowler can swing the new ball and has a bucket of variations for the death overs. Notably, Dwarshuis was the second-highest wicket-taker in Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 with 24 scalps in 12 outings. He would like to put up a similar show for Worcestershire as well.
