WOR vs NOT: Worcestershire will kick off their T20 Blast 2021 campaign against Nottinghamshire at County Ground, New Road, Worcester.
Nottinghamshire finished as the table toppers of their respective group and ended up being the T20 Blast winners in the previous edition. They’re going to look forward to continuing their red hot form in this year’s edition as well.
After Dan Christian earned his Australia call-up, they recently signed all-rounder Calvin Harrison for three months after turning heads as a trialist.
With the likes of Alex Hales, Ben Duckett and skipper Steven Mullaney, the club would be aiming to carry on the legacy forward.
Meanwhile, Worcestershire ended at the bottom of their group and would look to make amends and improvise on their winning tactics. They’re going into this encounter on the back of a strong squad.
With new signings such as Ben Dwarshuis and Ish Sodhi, as well as the return of Moeen Ali to the side, they’ll be looking forward to clinching a win off their first game.
