County Ground in New Road

Worcestershire and Leicestershire are scheduled to face off for a second time in the Vitality Blast this season on July 11, 2024. They will meet at County Ground, New Road, Worcester, at 10:00 P.M IST.

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.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Leicestershire

Worcestershire’s hopes of qualifying were ruled out a long time ago and they can use this time to test out possible combinations for the next season, which is largely what they have been doing given the constant change-ups in their squad. With two wins and eight losses, they are entirely out of the picture at the bottom of the North Group table. Leicestershire’s campaign has not been laudable either as they stand sixth with four wins and four defeats. Nonetheless, they have the potential to reign supreme in the upcoming encounter.
