THE LOWDOWN
Lancashire Lightning’s frustrating Blast campaign continued with a defeat to Notts Outlaws at the weekend. That means the Lightning have really stuttered to a position whereby this match is close to must-win. They come up against a Worcestershire Rapids side that are in a position whereby victory in this one will take them extremely close to securing qualification for the knockouts. The impressive form of Jake Libby has helped the Rapids on that run.
THE PREDICTION
The return fixture between these two saw the Worcestershire Rapids hammer a stuttering Lightning with Jos Buttler failing to find rhythm in that match. They will come into this as the favourites again because Lancashire have been relentless in their inconsistency. A faltering top-order and out-of-form middle-order means the Rapids should have the edge.
