NOT vs WOR Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team bet from the NOT vs WOR head-to-head contest.

Worcestershire To Score Under 20.5 Runs Before 1st Dismissal

Worcestershire suffered a 7 wicket defeat in the opening encounter of the season with 11 balls to spare against Nottinghamshire. The openers failed to make a fiery start to the innings as Worcestershire’s total before the first dismissal read 7. J Haynes, B D’Oliveira and R Wessels are the regular ones to open the innings for Worcestershire. In the previous edition of the competition, the side posted scores of 9, 3, 70, 32, 4, 103, 10, 11, 1, 1, 79, 11 & 12 before the first dismissal. This sums up to just 346 runs from 13 matches, averaging almost 26.61 per game for the opening wicket. In the last five head-to-head meetings between the two sides, Worcestershire’s total before the first dismissal read 1, 12, 10 & 31 runs. The openers have consistently failed to gather runs before the fall of the first wicket. In the last five T20 Blast matches, Nottinghamshire has leaked just 46 runs from five matches, averaging just 9.20 runs per game. Against Nottinghamshire the opposition has always struggled to post a big total before the first dismissal and the scores read 15, 1, 22, 1, 7. This clearly indicates that the NOT bowlers will not make it any easier for WOR to gather runs in the beginning of the game. J Haynes and R Wessels had a terrible campaign last time around averaging just 11.00 & 27.77 respectively. Therefore, we expect Worcestershire openers to display a similar performance with the bat in the upcoming game.
