Middlesex, batting first, were bundled out for 121 which allowed Warwickshire to surpass the backmarker with 315 runs on the board. Middlesex’s second innings was significantly better as they added 251 runs to the tally but it was not enough to keep the Birmingham-based team at bay who chased it down comfortably and emerged as the victors by eight wickets. Warwickshire also defeated Northamptonshire, Kent, Essex and Hampshire through the course of their campaign.

Prior to that, however, the team were on a three match winning streak and managed to dispatch Glamorgan, Gloucestershire and Leicestershire. They also started their campaign with a brilliant eight-wicket victory over Derbyshire.

Warwickshire vs Worcestershire Betting Odds
Worcestershire to have a better opening partnership than Warwickshire
Warwickshire’s opening partnerships were rather lackluster in the last three matches of the previous season. The openers scored 3, 0, 13, 23 and 10 runs before the loss of their first wicket. Worcestershire’s openers showed a tad more potential as they scored 14, 0, 96, 9 and 0 runs in their final three fixtures of the 2023 season. The latter’s first wicket partnerships have been more convincing and they are anticipated to outperform Warwickshire's opening duo in the upcoming match.

Sam Hain to be Warwickshire’s Best Batter
Sam Hain has always been in a league of his own and his dominance with the bat was evident from his performance in the 2023 season of the County Championship where he amassed 706 runs from 16 innings and emerged as the team’s leading batter. He has proven to be Warwickshire’s most dependable batter and he will be the top pick for the match.
Jake Libby to be Worcestershire’s Best Batter
Jake Libby is undoubtedly the top choice for the next game taking into account his exceptional tally of 1153 runs in 23 innings in the last season of the tournament. He was the team’s leading batter by a margin and consistently delivered great performances. The opener will be expected to come out on top once again.

Chris Rushworth to be Warwickshire’s Best Bowler
Chris Rushworth claimed 53 wickets from 22 innings in the previous season of the tournament, making him the team’s second highest wicket-taker. He also picked up a fifer against Somerset in their final match of the season. His wicket-taking ability coupled with his brilliant economy rate of 3.22 last year makes him the leading contender to emerge as their top bowler.
Joe Leach to be Worcestershire’s Best Bowler
Joe Leach was incredibly prolific as a wicket-taker last season as he garnered a whopping 48 wickets in 24 innings. He was at the top of his game and also managed to be highly economical considering he ended the season with an overall economy rate of 3.26. He will be relied upon to be their best bowler.
