The Warwickshire squad looks ahead of Lancashire in both the departments of the games. The side has six batters who have scored over 300 runs. In complete contrast, Lancashire just have three batters who have scored over 300 runs this season.

There is a similarity between their bowling groups. Both of them have their key pacers missing due to their respective international commitments. James Anderson will be absent from the Lancashire line-up, while Hasan Ali and Chris Woakes are gone from the Warwickshire squad. Both teams rely heavily on two pacers, however, the side support these bowlers will get is better in the Warwickshire squad. With the likes of pacers Ed Barnard, Henry Brookes and spinner Glenn Maxwell also featuring now, Warwickshire have an edge.

Warwickshire vs Lancashire Betting Odds

Warwickshire to score over 300 runs in 1st innings

Warwickshire piled up 549/7 in the first and only innings they batted in their innings and 46-run win against Kent in their last match. Opener Robert Yates scored an unbeaten 228. Glenn Maxwell chipped in with 81 off 67 lower down the order. Henry Brookes also scored an unbeaten 50 while batting at number nine. It's quite clear that Warwickshire bats really deep.

The Lancashire bowling unit relies heavily on Tom Bailey and Will Williams (both have taken over 300 wickets). The lack of support these two bowlers have got from others has hurt the team. Same is the reason why Essex managed to score 282 and 292/8 in their last match against Lancashire.

Warwickshire have six batters in the team who have scored over 300 runs in the County Championship 2023. With Maxwell also featuring in the line-up, the chances of Warwickshire scoring over 300 runs in the first innings is really high.
