Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Chances of Winning
Worcestershire were on the receiving end of yet another blow which makes their chances more bleak as the season progresses. It was an incredibly close fight between them and Leicestershire where the latter were the first ones to bat. Leicestershire notched up a total of 176 on home soil which left Worcestershire to chase after an attainable target. Brett D'Oliveira and Matthew Waite did much of the damage while opening as they piled on a partnership of 70 runs but then wickets started to fall and a lack of stability in the innings led to their collapse. Worcestershire were on the brink of snatching the victory but Leicestershire were saved by the bell and came out on top by four runs.
Nottinghamshire’s season is starting to go beyond redemption as they faced defeat for the fifth time in a row against Lancashire in the last outing. Batting first, Nottinghamshire racked in 153 runs on home turf and lost eight wickets along the way. Jack Haynes and Liam Patterson-White were the only ones who made a tangible contribution with 45 and 44 runs, respectively. This target was not safe against Lancashire who kept the damage to a minimum with the fall of four wickets but the total was still chased down, leading to a six-wicket victory.

Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Betting Tips
Worcestershire to score low before first dismissal
Brett D'Oliveira and Matthew Waite’s opening partnerships have been quite tumultuous and the stands that they have posted make them somewhat unpredictable. The pair have scored 70, 14, 11, 55 and 2 runs in the last five games they have played and there is absolutely no cohesion in their performances. They are, naturally, disadvantaged as they take on Nottinghamshire’s bowlers in the next match, especially since Worcestershire have shown a tendency to lose early wickets.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Toss Prediction
County Ground in New Road is known to be a chasing surface and it is quite evident since no total is safe at this venue. The teams prefer to field first and no matter the target, they are going to be advantaged by their position. Five out of six matches played here were won by the teams fielding first in the previous season and the last match hosted here between Worcestershire and Lancashire was won by the former while chasing. The toss winner skipper will keep this in mind before electing to field first.

Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Betting Odds
Nottinghamshire to have a better opening partnership than Worcestershire
Worcestershire’s openers have performed quite well in the last few games but consistency is a bit of a problem. Brett D'Oliveira and Matthew Waite scored 70, 14, 11, 55 and 2 runs together in the previous five matches, which is actually quite decent. However, the bookmakers believe that this time around, Nottinghamshire will get off to a strong start with a big opening total. In the last five fixtures, Joe Clarke and Alex Hales have posted stands of 2, 0, 11, 54, and 9 runs and although there is a noticeable upheaval here, they are expected to outdo Worcestershire’s first wicket.

Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Best Batters
Ethan Brookes to be Worcestershire’s Best Batter
Ethan Brookes currently leads Worcestershire’s run charts with 119 runs in five innings. In their last game versus Leicestershire, he was the second highest run scorer with 37 runs and he was striking at 231.25. He has been relatively consistent compared to the rest of the batters from his team and will be anticipated to be their standout batter in the upcoming match.
Jack Haynes to be Nottinghamshire’s Best Batter
Jack Haynes is the only player from Nottinghamshire to have surpassed the 100-run mark with 107 runs in four innings, making him their top batter. He was their leading run-getter in the previous match against Lancashire wherein he notched up 45 runs and fell short of a second half-century this season. He is the top pick for the next game.
Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Best Bowlers
Adam Finch to be Worcestershire’s Best Bowler
Adam Finch is neck-and-neck with Nathan Smith as the team’s leading wicket-taker with six wickets in five innings. However, he has been at the top of his game lately and although they were tied as the top wicket-takers in the last match against Leicestershire with three wickets apiece, he remains the favorite owing to his average of 23.00 and overall economy rate of 8.11.
Olly Stone to be Nottinghamshire’s Best Bowler
Olly Stone was tied with the rest of the bowlers in the last game against Lancashire with one wicket. However, he leads Nottinghamshire’s bowling attack with nine wickets in five innings and a bowling average of 19.33. As their most consistent bowler, he is the leading choice for the next fixture.
