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

Worcestershire Rapids will lock horns with Leicestershire Foxes in Match 48 of T20 Blast 2022 at Worcester, on Sunday (June 5). 


Worcestershire languishes at the bottom of the North Group points table with only a single win in five league matches. Brett D'Oliveira (71) and Jack Haynes (53*) were the key contributors to the team posting 217 on the board in the last outing. Then, Dillon Pennington led the bowling attack by picking three wickets, and the team won the game by 15 runs. 


The loan-term period of Yorkshire pacer Matthew Waite has ended with Worcestershire. The likes of Moeen Ali and Dwayne Bravo will look to come up with improved performances. They have announced an unchanged squad for this game. 


On the other hand, Leicestershire is at the penultimate position in the table with two wins in 5 matches. In their last league match, the batting unit averaged 153, with Scott Steel (72) as the biggest contributor. Ben Mike and Rehan Ahmed scalped three wickets to secure a thrilling victory by five runs for the Foxes. 


Experienced players like Hamish Rutherford and Colin Ackermann will be on the lookout to provide notable contributions. After a confidence-boosting victory, no changes are expected in the team's XI for this game.

T20 Blast 2022 | DUR vs NOR | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Durham Dynamos will face the challenge of Northamptonshire Steelbacks in Match 47 of T20 Blast 2022 at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street, on Sunday (June 5). Durham has secured only two victories in five appearances of the tournament. In the last fixture, the contributions of Michael Jones (44) and Oliver Robinson (35) paved the way for the team, posting a score of 186 on the board. Then, the duo of Andrew Tye and Ben Raine scalped three wickets each, and the team won by 48 runs. Sean Dickson is doubtful for this game due to the injury sustained in the Glamorgan game. However, the players like Liam Trevaskis and David Bedingham have not yet displayed their best performances and would look to lead the contributions for the team. On the other hand, Northamptonshire has the same number of wins as Durham, but a single no-result game keeps them three spots up in the points table. In their last outing, Saif Zaib (51) and Ben Curran (37) led the way for the team to score a modest 153. It was an impressive effort from James Neesham (4 wickets), but the opposition chased down the total in the penultimate ball of the innings. There has been no update on Chris Lynn, who missed the last game due to being unwell. In-form players like Neesham and Ben Curran have to continue their momentum to get much-needed wins for the team.
