LEI vs WRW Team Previews

Leicestershire

Over 450 runs were scored in the previous match that Leicestershire was involved and it is quite unfortunate for them to be on the losing side even after scoring 222 runs! They ended up losing by just 18 runs and were left ruing what might have been.

Runs for Josh Inglis, Colin Ackerman, and Aaron Lilley are a good sign going forward in the T20 Blast but the bowling will have to improve rapidly. Griffith gave away 60 runs in his three overs, Naveen ul Haq 49 in his four, and almost every bowler struggled to get it right.

Only Callum Parkinson and Colin Ackerman were able to exert some control over the opposition.

Things are looking bleak for Leicestershire right now and qualification may be difficult but the form of its batsmen does give it some hope for the immediate future.

Leicestershire Playing 11

Scott Steel, Josh Inglis, Arron Lilley, Colin Ackermann, Rishi Patel, Lewis Hill, Ben Mike, Callum Parkinson, Louis Kimber, Naveen-ul-Haq, Edward Barnes.


Birmingham Bears

Sam Hain and Pieter Malan played very well to set up what turned out to be a winning total by a comfortable margin. 170 is not a very big total by the T20 Blast standards, however, the Birmingham bowling was brilliant.

Jacob Lintott continued his fine form to pick up four wickets, Carlos Brathwaite picked up two, and Craig Miles ended up with two as well. Danny Briggs bowled in the powerplay and returned figures of 21-1 from his four overs.

It was a dominant display of bowling. This lineup is going to be tested more against Leicestershire on an absolutely flat batting surface but we think Birmingham should have enough to come out ahead.

Almost every batsman from their top-order has been able to score runs as well and so there is no donut about the form and balance of the Birmingham lineup at the moment.

Birmingham Bears Playing 11

Ed Pollock, Pieter Malan, Will Rhodes, Sam Hain, Carlos Brathwaite, Dan Mousley, Michael Burgess, Tim Bresnan, Danny Briggs, Jake Lintott, Craig Miles.
