WOR vs LEI Match Prediction - Sep 21, 2021

After a terrific run of white-ball Cricket in England, County Cricket is on a roll. We have already seen some scintillating matches recently and as it seems, the best ones are yet to come. Up next in the tournament, Worcestershire are set to take on Leicestershire in Division 3 mid-table encounter that is to be played at New Road, Worcester. The match is to be played from 21st September to 24th September. Given how things have panned out for the two sides so far, this is expected to be a cracker of a contest.

WOR vs LEI Team Previews

Worcestershire

Worcestershire are one of the better white-ball outfits in English Cricket but the same cannot be said about their red-ball team. They were outclassed by all of their opponents in the group stage and unless they can perform well from here, they would finish in the bottom half of the Division 3 points table.

As it currently stands, Worcestershire are placed fourth on the points table, having 44.5 points from three matches gone so far. They have won one and lost two out of those three matches played. Their run in the group stage was similarly dismal as they won only one match after playing ten matches in total. They finished with 109 points then.

Worcestershire are coming off a massive loss at the hands of Middlesex and that loss would certainly have hit their confidence hard. Despite having Middlesex on the mat, Worcestershire failed to make a mark in a match that was theirs for the taking. They were left to chase a total of 221 in the fourth innings on a decent batting wicket but ended up losing the match by 101 runs.

On paper, Worcestershire are missing some of their key players, but that is not the primary reason for their poor performance. The problem is that even the ones who are available have not performed as well as they would have liked in the matches done so far. Given the on-paper strength that Worcestershire have, it would be mighty difficult to beat them if they are able to play to their potential in the upcoming match.

Leicestershire

Leicestershire had a terrible run in the Vitality T20 Blast and although they did not do well in the group stage of the county championship, they are looking well set in division three of the tournament. At the moment, they are placed on the third spot on the ladder and a win here will put them firmly in contention to finish among the top two sides. A loss, however, would pretty much mean curtains to their top-of-the-table finish dream.

Leicestershire are coming off a terrific win over Sussex in their last match and should be brimming with confidence. Also, the quantum of win that they posted should add to their confidence. They not only batted Sussex out of the equation, they also ensured that their bowlers bowled in tight enough channels to get quick wickets. As it panned out, Leicestershire won the match by an innings and five runs.

Leicestershire may not have the services of experienced players at their disposal, but they are certainly making the best use of the resources they have. Callum Parkinson and Ben Mike were brilliant in the last match and would want to continue to build on their form. If their youngsters are able to support the experienced ones well, Leicestershire may well go on to register another surprise victory here.
