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

Worcestershire Rapids and Derbyshire Falcons will be up against each other in the 64th match of the Vitality T20 Blast 2022, scheduled at New Road, Worcester on June 10.

Languishing at the bottom of the North Group points table, Worcestershire have a solitary win in their kitty out of seven matches.

Their poor run continued yesterday against Northamptonshire Steelbacks as they challenged Worcestershire to the hilt in an eventual one-sided contest. Chris Lynn got the better of the Rapids, giving them a run for their money and helping Northamptonshire post a total of 220 runs. Only Dwayne Bravo had a good day at the office with the ball, claiming two wickets for 15 runs.

After a shambolic bowling performance, the Mooen-Ali led side had a similar showing with the bat. Barring Jack Haynes and Ed Barnard, none of the batters could do the job as Joshua Cobb ran riot with his fifer.

On the other hand, Derbyshire are placed at fifth position on the table after winning three of their seven games so far in the tournament.

The Falcons enjoyed a good start to their campaign but lost the plot in between, suffering three defeats on the bounce. However, skipper Shan Masood pushed the team back to winning ways in the latest fixture versus Leicestershire Foxes, helping Derbyshire chase down 182 runs with his 32-ball 73.
