Worcestershire Rapids are enjoying a solid campaign, collecting five victories from seven matches with just two losses, putting them second in Group A. This will be their last group fixture, and they'll want to finish with another win to secure their top-two position.
Their batting unit has performed well, with various players delivering. Captain Jake Libby leads the way with 372 runs across seven innings, averaging 62 while striking at 96. He has one hundred and three fifties this season, and will be backed to deliver at the back end of the tournament with crucial runs.
Kashif Ali sits second on the run charts with 279 runs from seven outings at a decent 40 average and strike rate of 88.57.
Rob Jones and Ethan Brookes have provided substance in the middle order, both passing 160 runs in the competition to date.
Ben Allison has been their most potent bowler, claiming 15 wickets in five appearances while maintaining an economy of 5.84. Ethan Brookes and Matthew Waite have combined for 15 dismissals, while Brett D'Oliveira has added five more. This attack offers plenty of variety and should challenge any opposition.

Surrey's campaign has been up and down so far, sitting sixth with three victories from seven outings. This being their last group match, they need a big victory to reach the top four for the knockout stage since their net run rate of -2.002 is poor.
Their batting department has carried them through most games. Skipper Ollie Sykes has been their top performer, amassing 302 runs across seven matches at 43.14 average while striking at 99. He's anchored the middle order effectively in most encounters.
Adam Thomas has contributed well at the top, gathering 234 runs from seven appearances with a 33.42 average and strike rate of 87.64.
Josh Blake has been another consistent contributor for Surrey, managing 214 runs from seven knocks and adding depth to their batting lineup.
Their bowling attack has been led by James Taylor, who's taken eight wickets from seven appearances at 6.33. Yousef Majid sits close behind with seven dismissals at an impressive economy rate of 5.62. Aristides Karvelas and Ollie Sykes have both captured five wickets and provided decent support in this bowling lineup.

New Road in Worcester doesn’t always play by the book for batters. Sometimes the surface is true, letting them middle the ball with ease. Other times, early seam movement and variable bounce make life difficult. Pacers who maintain accuracy in the opening overs can create problems. Once the ball softens, the spinners often become more threatening, particularly if the track starts taking grip. The shorter straight boundaries add to the challenge, as even edges can sail over the fence.
Humidity will be high in Worcester on Tuesday, and there’s a threat of late storms rolling in. Even so, the odds favor a complete game without too many delays.

Teams batting first at New Road, Worcester, usually post around 230-240 on average. The highest total this season has been Worcestershire’s 298-5 while chasing against Glamorgan. Anything in the range of 250 to 260 should give either team a reasonable shot at staying in the match.
Chasing tends to work better at New Road, Worcester, as all three games played at the venue in this year’s One-Day Cup have been taken by the team batting second. So, it’s almost certain that the team winning the toss will choose to bowl first here.
Worcestershire are well-placed for a semi-final berth, having already collected 22 points. However, they can't afford to relax since Hampshire sit right behind them on 20 points and still have a match to play. Surrey's chances of reaching the next stage appear slim unless they can pull off a huge victory here. That seems unlikely given Worcestershire have outperformed them this season and are playing on their own ground, where they've only tasted defeat once in three attempts this campaign. This makes Worcestershire the more reliable pick to win this encounter.
We are backing Worcestershire as the winners of this match.
