County Ground in New Road

Worcestershire and Warwickshire are poised to face off in the County Championship Division One at County Ground, New Road, Worcester. The match is scheduled to take place between September 9 and 12, 2024, starting at 3:00 P.M IST.

Worcestershire vs Warwickshire Chances of Winning

Worcestershire had an unusual game against Essex in the last outing where it looked like things were not going in their favor for a long time before they found a way to salvage the match. Batting first, Worcestershire’s total of 266 was not convincing in the slightest and there was no way it would hold up against Essex. After the top order collapsed rather quickly, skipper Brett D'Oliveira anchored the innings with 68 runs. Tom Taylor, Ethan Brookes and Amar Virdi followed suit with totals of 62*, 46 and 42, respectively. However, Essex made light work of this and piled on 404 runs in their chase but Worcestershire did not take this lying down as they snatched the lead right back by adding 321 runs to the original tally. Jake Libby, Adam Hose and Brett D'Oliveira were particularly helpful with scores of 65, 64 and 51, respectively. They were still on tenterhooks but breathed a sigh of relief as Essex got bowled out for 140, leading to win by 43 runs.

After ten winless games, Warwickshire finally achieved their first victory of the season in their previous match against Kent. The latter were bowled out for an embarrassingly low total of 156 runs, courtesy of Oliver Hannon-Dalby, Chris Rushworth and Michael Booth who picked three wickets each. During Warwickshire’s chase, Will Rhodes was towering over the other batters with his extraordinary double century, having scored 201 runs. Ed Barnard was next in line with his half-century as he amassed 65 runs. Warwickshire took the lead and showcased their batting prowess with 420 runs on the board. Essex set out to chase it down but their hopes came crashing down as they got dismissed for 243 runs. In the end, Warwickshire brought home victory by an innings and 21 runs.

Worcestershire vs Warwickshire Betting Tips

Warwickshire to score over 25.5 before first dismissal @ 1.87 (Batery)

Warwickshire’s opening order has consistently been delivering fine performances for the team. It is a well-balanced partnership, although between Rob Yates and Alex Davies the latter tends to be more proactive with scoring runs. In the previous five encounters, they have set up totals of 62, 52, 5, 19, 106, 48, 29, 38 and 15 before the first dismissal. Given the trajectory of the pair, another spectacular display is on the cards.

Worcestershire vs Warwickshire Betting Odds

Warwickshire to have a better opening partnership than Worcestershire

Gareth Roderick and Jake Libby have had a great deal of instability in their opening stands for Worcestershire which makes it difficult to gauge their true form. To put things into perspective, they have amassed 7, 3, 89, 13, 15 and 56 runs together in the last three games. On the other hand, Rob Yates and Alex Davies have forged a reliable partnership over the course of the season, having secured opening totals of 62, 52, 5, 19 and 106 for Warwickshire in the previous three outings. Naturally, the bookmakers are inclined to back Warwickshire’s openers in the next match.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Warwickshire

Worcestershire and Warwickshire are quite closely matched as the former occupies fifth place on the Division One table with three wins while the latter trails behind in sixth with a single victory. They enter this game on the back of four drawn head-to-head games which makes it all the more difficult to support one over the other; however, Warwickshire have finally had their breakthrough and will be expected to ride this momentum in the upcoming fixture.
