DER vs WOR Match Prediction - Jul 02, 2021

We are moving towards the business end of the tournament at a frantic pace in the Vitality T20 Blast and the competition is getting more and more intense with every passing match. Almost all of the matches hereon will have a big impact in determining the final four from the respective groups and we expect all sides to come out hard at each other.

In a bid to stay alive in the competition, Derbyshire Falcons are set to take on Worcestershire Rapids in an important North Group clash. This match will be played at County Ground, Derby on Saturday, 2nd June 2021. Given the stakes involved, a mouth-watering match is certainly on the cards.

DER vs WOR Team Previews

Derbyshire

Derbyshire Falcons haven't done as badly as numbers reflect but are still languishing at the eighth spot on the points table - such is the nature of this highly competitive tournament. They currently have seven points to their name from ten games, but a couple of wins hereon will put them back into the hunt for the playoffs. A loss, however, will likely be the end of the journey for them.

They had a massive opportunity to defeat Nottinghamshire, the current table-toppers, in the last match, but their batting lineup perished like a pack of cards. Chasing a modest total of 137, Derbyshire could not keep up with the scoring rate and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. They eventually managed to score a total of 137 runs as the match ended in a tie.

Before their previous match, however, Derbyshire produced a refreshing performance as they defeated Birmingham Bears by a heavy margin. Chasing a total of 168, the Falcons were clinical with the chase as Tom Wood and Leus du Plooy smacked match-defining fifties. Apart from du Plooy, they haven't found anyone who has scored consistently enough for them thus far in the tournament. If the others can chip in to support du Plooy, as Tom Wood did in their game against the Bears, Derbyshire Falcons will ensure a tough challenge ahead for Worcestershire Rapids in the next match.

Derbyshire Playing 11

Luis Reece, Harry Came, Tom Wood, A Leus du Plooy, MJJ Critchley, Fynn Hudson Prentice, Brooke Guest, Matt McKiernan, Logan van Beek, Jade Dernbach, George Scrimshaw.


Worcestershire

Worcestershire hall-mark in the two tournaments that they did well in was peaking just at the right moment. With the business end of the tournament right around the corner and each match gaining in importance, Worcestershire Rapids now need to pull up their socks and put up their best foot forward going ahead.

At the moment, they are placed at the sixth spot on the ladder, and with heavy competition at the top of the group, Worcestershire Rapids will need to weave a string of wins. They are coming off a deflating defeat at the hands of Lancashire and will be looking to get back to the winning ways. Recent history, however, favors them as they won two matches in succession before registering a loss to Lancashire in the recently concluded encounter.

With Moeen Ali away on national duty, Worcestershire's lineup definitely doesn't look as good as it does with Ali in the side. However, the Rapids have done a commendable job even without Ali as they defeated Leicestershire and Durham with heavy margins before their match against the Lancs.

On paper, Worcestershire have a good side with the likes of Riki Wessels, Brett D'Oliveira, and Jake Libby in good form. However, it is the bowling that has been Worcestershire's strength and it will have to come good in this upcoming match as well. The likes of Ed Barnard, Ish Sodhi, Charlie Morris, and Ben Dwarshius have all done pretty well in recent times and will be expected to deliver yet again. If they can do that, Worcestershire will not find it difficult to bounce back to the winning ways.

Worcestershire Playing 11

Riki Wessels, Brett D Oliveira, Jake Libby, Daryl Mitchell, Ben Cox, Ross Whiteley, Ed Barnard, Ben Dwarshuis, Ish Sodhi, Dillon Pennington, Charlie Morris.
