- Leicestershire’s Rishi Patel continues to be the tournament’s leading batter with 400 runs in nine innings.
Worcestershire vs Leicestershire Chances of Winning
Worcestershire put their best foot forward against Lancashire in the previous match but it was not quite enough to take them over the line. Josh Cobb’s 74 was the standout performance from Worcestershire while Adam Hose’s unbeaten 45 was a close second, both of which helped the team boast a total of 181. They looked poised to defend it but Lancashire had other intentions; as a contender for a top finish, the latter could not slack off and with much exertion, they were able to surpass the target and hand Worcestershire a two-wicket defeat.
Leicestershire had an intense, cutthroat endeavor against Derbyshire in the last match and they came out as the losers from this battle. The former batted first and racked in 184 runs; wicket-keeper batter Ben Cox was the linchpin from the bottom of the lineup with an unbeaten 61 while Lewis Goldsworthy’s narrow miss of a half-century at 48 contributed to the team’s success. However, Derbyshire were just better on this occasion and chased down the target with four wickets to spare.

Worcestershire vs Leicestershire Betting Tips
Worcestershire to score low before first dismissal
There has been no whiff of progression in Worcestershire’s opening partnerships this season and no matter what combination they try out, it seems to fall flat. With the plethora of opening batsmen they have tested this season, there is no stability whatsoever and that is a tough problem to negotiate. The last five matches have witnessed first wicket stands of 12, 19, 10, 20 and 13 runs. Their performance is a flatline and at this point in the season, the pressure is too high for them to achieve rapid advancement.

Worcestershire vs Leicestershire Betting Odds
Leicestershire to have a better opening partnership than Worcestershire
Worcestershire’s opening totals have stagnated in the 10-20 range in the last three matches with no sign of improvement. Brett D'Oliveira and Kashif Ali have had a less than ideal collaboration with scores of 12, 19 and 10 runs which raises doubts about their form going forward. Leicestershire have had different sets of openers but with Rishi Patel consistently on the front lines, they have been quite convincing with first wicket totals of 17, 61 and 42 runs. Regardless of who is tasked with opening alongside Rishi Patel, Leicestershire are solid on the opening front and have the edge against Worcestershire.

Worcestershire vs Leicestershire Best Batters
Adam Hose to be Worcestershire’s Best Batter
Adam Hose has consistently delivered for Worcestershire amidst the struggles, too, and stands at the top with 219 runs in ten innings. He was the second highest scorer for the team in their previous match against Lancashire where he amassed an unbeaten 45 and narrowly missed out on his first half-century of the season. He is the top pick for the next match.
Rishi Patel to be Leicestershire’s Best Batter
Rishi Patel faced an untimely dismissal for 15 in the last match against Derbyshire after a sensational century prior to that. He is miles ahead of his teammates in terms of runs with 400 runs in nine innings. Despite the subpar performance in the last outing, he has the potential to offset that by showing up for his team in the upcoming fixture.
Worcestershire vs Leicestershire Best Bowlers
Tom Taylor to be Worcestershire’s Best Bowler
Tom Taylor has a heavy lead over the rest of the bowlers from the team with 12 wickets in ten innings so far. His spell against Lancashire last time out was quite expensive and he only picked a single wicket which did not compensate for the economy rate of 10.69 in 3.5 overs. Nevertheless, it was an aberration from the norm and he is expected to pull off a better showing in the next game.
Josh Hull to be Leicestershire’s Best Bowler
Josh Hull is inching his way to the top with 13 wickets in ten innings so far. He was the top bowler for the team in the previous encounter against Derbyshire where his 3.2-over spell yielded two wickets and a brilliant economy rate of 7.50. He also has a bowling average of 22.92 so far and remains the top choice against Worcestershire.
