T20 Blast 2022 | NOT vs WOR | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI
Nottinghamshire Outlaws and Worcestershire Royals will be up against each other in Match 9 of T20 Blast 2022.
In the last edition, Nottinghamshire topped the points table after the end of the league stage, with nine wins in 14 league matches. However, they lost the quarter-finals by two runs. They will look to perform well under pressure in this edition.
The team will be led by the all-rounder Steven Mullaney. Dan Christian, James Pattinson, and Dane Paterson are the overseas players for the team.
In the batting department, Alex Hales and Joe Clarke are among the finest players in England's domestic cricket. The players like Jake Ball and Calvin Harrison will be the key wicket-takers for the team.
On the other hand, Worcestershire started the 2022 edition with a loss to Yorkshire. They posted 172 on the back of 61 from Jack Haynes but could not defend it as the opposition chased down the total with 11 balls to spare.
Ahead of the fixture against Notts, the team is boosted by the return of Colin Munro and Matthew Waite. However, the likes of Ed Barnard and Josh Baker are likely to make way for both the players.
