TEAMS PREVIEW
Worcestershire Preview
Worcestershire Rapids have had a stop-start season, never finding momentum to win back-to-back games. They have won two so far and lost four; in fact, they have lost two on the bounce as they enter this match.
Captain Adam Hose has done the heavy lifting in the batting department for Worcestershire, scoring 229 runs in six matches at an average of 38.16 and a strike rate of 146.79.
Gareth Roderick, Brett D’Oliveira, and Ben Dwarshuis have all been steady contributors in this lineup, collecting over 100 runs each. However, they lack another batsman who can pile on the big scores to take the game away from the opposition.
Worcestershire’s bowling has been on point. Jacob Duffy and Ben Dwarshuis have been their main men, taking seven wickets apiece. Fateh Singh, Tom Taylor, and Ethan Brookes have chipped in with some crucial wickets, showing the variety of this bowling attack.
Worcestershire Predicted Playing XI:
Ed Pollock, Jake Libby, Adam Hose (c), Ethan Brookes, Gareth Roderick (wk), Ben Dwarshuis, Matthew Waite, Tom Hinley, Jacob Duffy, Fateh Singh, Tom Taylor

Durham had a patchy start to their campaign, with one win and two losses in their opening three matches, but a string of three victories has now pushed them into the top two.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Scoring at New Road, Worcester, can be unpredictable. Some days the ball comes on nicely and batters enjoy the pace, other times early movement and low bounce make shot-making tricky. Seamers who keep things tight in the first six can shift momentum. Spinners tend to come into play once the ball softens, especially if there's grip. The square boundaries are shorter, so mis-hits can still carry.
The weather forecast shows that Wednesday will be a cloudy day in Worcester with some chance of a few thunderstorms that could impact the game. However, we should still get a full match.
