T20 Blast 2022 | WAR vs DER | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Match 84 of the T20 Blast 2022 will witness Warwickshire Bears taking on Derbyshire Falcons on Sunday (June 19) at Edgbaston, Birmingham. 

Warwickshire have six wins in nine league matches and are placed at third position in the points table. In their last fixture against Notts, the batting unit was sensational to post 261 on the board. Sam Hain scored 112* off 52 and Adam Hose garnered an unbeaten 88 off 35. Then Carlos Brathwaite was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets, and the trio of Stone-Miles-Briggs scalped two wickets each. 

In this fixture, Bears are expected to field the same team, which has built confidence of winning the games in a confident manner. If they secure a victory, they will book the top slot in the table, and nearly confirm their place in the quarter finals. 

On the other hand, Derbyshire will be confident after winning their last game against a tough opponent like Yorkshire. In the bowling unit, Mark Watt and George Scrimshaw picked up three wickets each, as the opposition managed to score 175. The rain delay adjusted the target to be 105 in 10 overs. 

Shan Masood (34) gave a good start to the team, while Leus du Plooy was terrific with 48* off 20 balls to chase down the score in a thrilling manner. They have five wins in nine league matches and need to continue their winning momentum to qualify for the next stage.
