TEAMS PREVIEW

Warwickshire Preview

It has been a blow-hot and blow-cold season for Will Rhodes’ side so far. They won by 4 runs under the DLS method in their last game against Somerset. With two wins they are placed at the fourth position in the points table and they will need to win this one to open their chances for a berth in the quarterfinal. They had defeated Glamorgan in the earlier game and this will serve as a confidence booster. 

The side will expect a good start from Ed Pollock and Ian Bell. The pair has made runs earlier in the season and look in good form. Rhodes and Sam Hain played well in the last game and together with Adam Hose add good balance to their batting. In Michael Burgess and Tim Bresnan they have good batting talent down the order and both these players have good hitting abilities. 

Olly Stone and Tim Bresnan were experience with the new ball in the last game and they will look to improve their performance in thus game. Henry Brookes and Jeetan Patel bowled well in the last game and Patel’s experience adds strength to this bowling attack. Jacob Lintott bowled tight spell in the last game and he will look to carry on with the same show.

Will Rhodes (c), Ed Pollock, Ian Bell, Adam Hose, Sam Hain, Michael Burgess (wk), Tim Bresnan, Henry Brookes, Olly Stone, Jacob Lintott, Jeetan Patel

Glamorgan Preview

Chris Cooke’s side went down by 4 wickets in the last game against Northamptonshire Steelbacks. This was their third loss in a row which has pushed them down to the fifth spot on the points table. The side still has a chance of making it to the next round and shall need to play exceptionally well in the next game.  

Their batting looks good at the moment with openers Nicholas Selman and Daniel Douthwaite in good form. They will look to provide a good start in the next game. Andy Balbirnie hit form in the last game which is great news for the side. In Owen Morgan, Coioke and Callum Taylor the side possesses good strength down the order and shall look to use it in this game. 

They will need to make improvements on the bowling end they haven’t been consistent. Prem Sisodiya and Andrew Salter did well in the last game but others have leaked runs. Douthwaite and Marchant de Lange will have to do well in the middle overs. Taylor, Graham Wagg and Ruaidhri Smith add good variety to this bowling attack.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The weather would be partly cloudy over Birmingham on September 11 and this is likely to make batting tough initially on this surface. Bowlers would enjoy good assistance in the early overs. Any score of 160 and above would be good one to defend with a disciplined bowling effort.

Venue Details

Edgbaston, Birmingham is a venue that has always helped the bowlers.  There is lot of bounce and movement off the surface for the fast bowlers and spinners also enjoy bowling here as the large dimensions of the ground make it tough for the batsmen to hit boundaries. Batsmen who spend their time on this wicket have done well. 

Toss: To Bowl

The pitch here has always something for the bowlers in the early overs which makes batting bit of a challenge. In the last few seasons most teams have won game here chasing the score being able to pace their innings well. Thus we expect to see the side winning the toss bowling first here.
