TEAMS PREVIEW
Birmingham Bears Preview
Alex Davies and his team will be confident going into this game. They defeated the Worcestershire Rapids by 23 runs in the last game and have made it to the third spot on the points table. The bowling attack is doing well, and this gives them an edge. Another win will secure the team a berth in the next round, and Davies would like a strong show from his players in this game.
Alex Davies and Tom Latham have missed out in the last two games, and they will aim to deliver a strong start. Dan Mousley and Sam Hain batted well in the last game, and they will look to build partnerships in the middle order with Jacob Bethell. The lower middle order has done well this season, and the side expects Ed Barnard, George Garton, and Hasan Ali to add quick runs.
George Garton and Richard Gleeson troubled the batters in the last game, and the team expects the pair to strike early in this game. Hasan Ali is in excellent form must keep the scoring in check in the middle overs with Craig Miles. The side will also need a good show in the supporting role from Danny Briggs and Dan Mousley.
BB Over/Under Betting Tips
Dan Mousley has scored 316 runs in 10 matches this season, averaging 35.11 and striking at 148. He has scored 32, 12, and 53 in the last three matches played at Birmingham. Against Northamptonshire, he has scored 180 runs in 7 matches, averaging 36. He is a bankable player to bet on in this match, as he has solid numbers both at Birmingham and against Northamptonshire, making him a safe bet, to say the least.

Northamptonshire Preview
David Willey's side defeated the Derbyshire Falcons by 13 runs in the last game. It was a much-needed win for the team after four consecutive losses. The batting lineup was brilliant in the last game, but Willey will expect a better show from his bowlers. They are up against a strong batting unit and must get their acts right.
Matthew Breetzke was unlucky to miss a hundred in the last game, and he will look to deliver a good start with Ricardo Vasconcelos. David Willey, Saif Zaib, and Ravi Bopara make the middle order formidable, and the team expects a strong show. George Bartlett and Lewis McManus are good hitters and will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack will be under pressure as they have struggled with their form. The side needs tight spells with the new ball from Ben Sanderson and David Willey. George Scrimshaw struggled in the last game, and he will look to do well in the middle overs with Saif Zaib. Luke Procter and Lloyd Pope must do well in the supporting roles.
NOR Over/Under Betting Tips
Ravi Bopara has scored 315 runs in 12 matches, averaging 39.37. He is in good form and has scored runs consistently throughout the tournament. He has scored 165 runs in 6 matches at Birmingham, averaging 33, and against the Birmingham Bears, he has scored 111 runs in 5 matches, averaging 27.75. Considering his current form, we back Bopara to score over 22 runs against Birmingham.
