Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Chances of Winning
Worcestershire suffered their second defeat of the season as they took on Surrey in the previous game. The odds were never really in their favor to begin with but their performance was painfully substandard against a top team in the tournament. Surrey batted first and scored a mere 213 runs which, ideally, should have been surpassed by Worcestershire but the latter demonstrated why they are among the tail-enders this season as they got bowled out for 128 runs. Surrey went hammer and tongs after the fact and added 427 runs to the scoreboard while Worcestershire’s attempt to chase it down was so miserable that they missed the mark by 281 runs.
Nottinghamshire, too, had a tough time getting past Hampshire in their last outing but their effort was commendable at the very least. The former batted first and scored 235 runs on home soil but Hampshire only went ahead marginally as they scored 276. Nottinghamshire regressed in their second innings which led to a knockout for 209. Hampshire somehow showed signs of struggle in chasing down a low total but they eventually made it over the line by five wickets.

Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Betting Tips
Nottinghamshire to score low before first dismissal
Nottinghamshire’s openers made a decent start to the season but their performance worsened over the course of time. Skipper Haseeb Hameed has been their mainstay on the opening front but his partners tend to change and the choice is between Ben Slater and Ben Duckett. In the six matches they have played so far, the opening pair has added 0, 0, 18, 44, 16, 12, 0, 8, 18, 91, 33 and 15 runs to the first wicket. Not only have their partnerships been weak but also rather blow hot and cold in the season so far. It does not seem likely that Nottinghamshire will put on a competitive first wicket partnership against Worcestershire.
Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Toss Prediction
County Ground in New Road is proven to be a good surface for the batters to play their shots freely and take advantage of the short boundaries. The venue has not hosted a match in the County Championship this season but chasing might be the preferred strategy since three out of seven test matches played here went in favor of the teams fielding first.
Weather Report
There is no possibility of precipitation at Worcester around the time of the match, although overcast conditions are likely to prevail at the venue. The temperature is expected to reach 28 degrees Celsius.

Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Betting Odds
Worcestershire to have a better opening partnership than Nottinghamshire
Haseeb Hameed and Ben Slater took turns to gift their wickets to Hampshire in their last match since in both innings, the pair failed to establish a partnership for Nottinghamshire at all. Their two matches prior to that witnessed the pair score 18, 44, 16 and 12 runs before their first dismissal which is not a particularly inspiring trajectory. Worcestershire’s openers are a tad more consistent in their partnerships, if nothing else. In the last three matches, they have added 17, 11, 31 and 23 runs to the opening wicket which gives them a decent chance of outperforming Nottinghamshire in terms of first wicket total.

Joe Clarke continues to lead Nottinghamshire’s run charts with 556 runs in ten innings and three centuries to his credit. He amassed his first half-century of the season against Hampshire, having scored 57 runs in the second innings. With an average of 61.77, he is the top choice for the match against Worcestershire.

Matthew Waite to be Worcestershire’s Best Bowler
Matthew Waite was the top wicket-taker for Worcestershire in their last outing against Surrey where he bagged three wickets in each of the two innings. He has 12 wickets under his belt in nine innings so far and will be anticipated to be at the top of his game in the next match as well.
Dillon Pennington to be Nottinghamshire’s Best Bowler
Dillon Pennington is the leading wicket-taker for Nottinghamshire with 21 wickets in eight innings thus far and has a bowling average of 26.04. He was also the top wicket-taker for the team in their last match versus Hampshire where he bagged three wickets in the first innings and two wickets in the second innings. He will be expected to come out on top again in the upcoming game.
