WAS vs NOT Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's T20 Blast Match - July 2nd, 2021
The North Group of the T20 Blast 2021 has Warwickshire taking on Nottinghamshire at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Friday.
Nottinghamshire, after a dominant win against Leicestershire on Thursday, have moved to the top of the table with just one loss in 10 T20 Blast games. Riding on the exploits of their bowlers, Nottinghamshire are arguably the hot favorites to go all the way this season. However, they are facing some hiccups in the batting unit with Ben Duckett moving to the top of the order recently. The likes of Alex Hales and Samit Patel will need to come up with the goods again, but they are in for a stern test in Birmingham.
Their opponents Warwickshire aren't far off in the points table. With five wins in 11 T20 Blast games, Warwickshire are well on course for a knockout spot. All eyes will be on their in-form bowling attack with overseas recruit Carlos Brathwaite leading the way with 18 wickets so far. Although they may head into the contest as slight underdogs, Warwickshire will bank on home conditions as they seek a crucial win over table-toppers Nottinghamshire.
All in all, another riveting T20 Blast contest beckons at Edgbaston on Friday.

Pitch Report
A high-scoring T20 Blast game beckons at Edgbaston, with there being little help on offer for the bowlers. However, there should be some swing available early on with the new ball, keeping the batsmen on their toes. The pitch might slow down a bit as the match progresses, but the batsmen should still be able to play their shots with ease. Batting second is the preferred option upon winning the toss, with 170 being a competitive total at the venue.
