Worcestershire Rapids vs Bears prediction

Whilst the Bears may have the bigger name players, Worcestershire Rapids have the momentum and head into this game on the back of consecutive victories against Derbyshire Falcons and Northamptonshire Steelbacks respectively. Bears though, also won their most recent Blast encounter, defeating high-flying Lancashire Lightning by 36 runs.

But as impressive as that result was, it will be a significantly different environment for them here, playing at a much smaller, compact ground where as a bowler, being able to adjust will be vital. Worcestershire are used to these surroundings and motivation is so high for them, knowing a top four spot is still well within reach. The value play here would be to back the Pears over the Bears.
