We’re reaching towards the business stages of the 2019 Vitality T20 Blast with each team having just a game or two in hand before we reach the knockout stages. On 28th August, just a single 2019 T20 Blast game will be played and that’s a North Group fixture between two teams who have had a good season so far. We’re talking about the Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire encounter.
Both teams are in the upper half of the North Group points table. Both have played 12 games each, both have won 6 games each. The onyl difference is that Nottinghamshire has lost 3 games to rain while Worcestershire has lost only 2, which puts the former one spot ahead on the points table.

Numbers
- Last 5 games head to head, Worcestershire leads 3-2.
- Harry Gurney – 17 wickets in 9 games this season.
- Riki Wessels – 304 runs in 10 games this year.
- Alex Hales – 275 runs in 9 games this year.
Worcestershire
This team hasn’t been very heavy on individual performances. Riki Wessels is their only batsman who has crossed the 300-run mark while only two bowlers in Pat Brown and Wayne Parnell have picked up 10+ wickets for their franchise in the 2019 T20 Blast so far. Brown isn’t a compulsory pick as he has only 1 wicket in his last 2 games, but Parnell brings all the experience and can also bat well. Remember, he scored 81* earlier this season as well.
Moeen Ali has 100+ runs and a couple of wickets in just 2 games this season, so he can’t be missed in your fantasy team. A regular part of the England squad across all formats, he comes with a lot of experience as well. In the middle order, they also have Ross Whiteley who has scored 6 sixes in an over in this competition in the past. He’s also coming off a good knock of 89* in his last game in the tournament, so you should consider him.
Nottinghamshire
Alex Hales has a point to prove after missing out of the CWC 2019 due to a doping ban. 3 fifties in his 9 innings has been good but he hasn’t been able to perform consistently. As for Joe Clarke, he has 2 fifties in his last 5 games this season, including one innings of 47* so he’s bringing out more consistent knocks. All-rounders are the best choices in T20 cricket and we have two high-quality all-rounders in this side.
Daniel Christian has 165 runs in 9 games this season and he has only been dismissed thrice. He hasn’t bowled that often but has managed to pick up 4 wickets in the tournament as well. The next big all-rounder in the side is Samit Patel, who brings a massive amount of experience to the fore. Pick him in your Howzat (sign-up with code “READ1234”) fantasy team as he won’t be picked by many due to a disappointing season so far.
