Vitality T20 Blast 2023, Northamptonshire vs Warwickshire: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
The 16th fixture of the North Group Division of the 2023 T20 Vitality Blast Season will get underway between Northamptonshire and Warwickshire on Wednesday, May 31, at 11 PM IST.
Northamptonshire haven’t made an ideal start to their campaign and find themselves lower down the points table ranking at the No. 7 position with a dismal NRR of -1.047. While defeats in the opening two games have significantly lowered their morale as a team, a win against Derbyshire on Monday would have surely healed their wounds a fraction.
On the flip side, Warwickshire are at the top of their game and have won all three fixtures in this tournament. They are ranked number one in the points table and have a robust NRR of 1.824. Danny Briggs looked in outstanding form in the last game as his figures of 4/15 dismantled Lancashire's batting lineup, powering Warwickshire to a massive seven-wicket victory.
Northamptonshire will look to build upon their momentum from the last game and register another win on the board to get themselves going this season. Meanwhile, Warwickshire will aim to maintain their winning streak and try not to tinker around with their winning formula. Whatever the outcome may be, the game promises to be an exciting contest.
