Northamptonshire vs Warwickshire Chances of Winning
Northamptonshire are back in the mix with a victory over Durham which makes the fight at the top tighter. In a match that was affected by the rain, Durham had eight overs to post a winning target and they scored 90 runs which did not seem to be a par score against Northamptonshire who already overcame Durham in similar fashion earlier in the season. Skipper David Willey’s golden duck dismissal raised concerns but Northamptonshire held their nerve as Ashton Agar’s well-made 31 and opener Matthew Breetzke’s 20 reduced the burden on the others and they were able to breeze past Durham with a six-wicket victory.
Warwickshire have pretty much secured a spot in the playoffs after their performance against Derbyshire in the previous match where the Birmingham heroes scored 198 runs. The top order were spot on with their approach as Dan Mousley’s unbeaten 60, Sam Hain’s 52 not out and Moeen Ali’s 59 gave the bowlers enough wiggle room to put Derbyshire under pressure. They managed to bundle out the latter for 154 in the final over and celebrate a 44-run victory.

Northamptonshire vs Warwickshire Betting Tips
Warwickshire to score over 22.5 before first dismissal @ 1.85 (Parimatch)
Rob Yates and Alex Davies were evidently having a tough time keeping Warwickshire’s opening wicket alive for a while and more often than not, the burden fell on the other batters. For the previous match against Derbyshire, though, Moeen Ali replaced the former and there seems to be some hope of a revival. He collaborated with the skipper for 21 runs and has an average of 37.50 after two innings. Alex Davies has still got his work cut out for him in terms of consistency and making himself useful but together, the pair are expected to soar.

Northamptonshire vs Warwickshire Betting Odds
Warwickshire to have a better opening partnership than Northamptonshire @ 1.85 (Parimatch)
Northamptonshire were already starting to show signs of trouble at the front before Ricardo Vasconcelos was replaced by skipper David Willey to open with Matthew Breetzke. In the last three games, Northamptonshire have posted opening stands of 0, 22 and 34 runs but the steady decline does not indicate any abating. On the other hand, things have started looking up for Warwickshire as an underperforming Rob Yates was dropped to accommodate Moeen Ali in the last game and it is certainly a step in the right direction. The team have secured 21, 1 and 24 runs before the first dismissal in the previous three matches and they are on course for a better performance in the next fixture.

Northamptonshire vs Warwickshire Best Batters
Matthew Breetzke to be Northamptonshire’s Best Batter
Matthew Breetzke’s 20 against Durham in the last match made him the second highest run scorer for the team in a truncated match. Overall, he has set himself apart from the other batters with 363 runs in 11 innings and an average of 36.30 . Considering the form he has been in, he continues to be the top pick for Northamptonshire.
Sam Hain to be Warwickshire’s Best Batter
Sam Hain’s fifth half-century of the season came against Derbyshire in the last outing where he was not out on 52 by the end of the innings. He has been at the top of his game all season and stands as Warwickshire’s leading run scorer with 461 runs in 11 innings. He is anticipated to come out on top in the upcoming fixture.
Northamptonshire vs Warwickshire Best Bowlers
Jack White to be Northamptonshire’s Best Bowler
Jack White’s two-over spell in his first match of the season against Durham was the best of the team since he picked one wicket and only allowed 5 runs, giving him an economy rate of 2.50. He made life difficult for the bowlers and with an average of 5.00, a similar performance is expected of him in the next match as well.
Danny Briggs to be Warwickshire’s Best Bowler
Danny Briggs led Warwickshire’s bowling attack against Derbyshire in the previous match where he took three wickets in four overs and earned an economy rate of 6.00. He is also the team’s leading wicket-taker with 22 wickets in 12 innings and a remarkable average of 12.63. He remains the top choice for the next match, too.
