Our Tipster’s Angle

Both teams are coming into this game with victories in their previous matches. Nottinghamshire managed to eke out a close win over Lancashire, while Warwickshire cruised to a 10-wicket win over Yorkshire.

With the likes of Carlos Brathwaite, Tim Bresnan, and Craig Miles delivering excellent bowling performances, Warwickshire has the firepower to dismantle Nottinghamshire’s strong batting lineup.

The only concern for Nottinghamshire will be the lack of runs from the middle-order in the last couple of matches.

So, the prediction is for Warwickshire to register a hard-fought win over Nottinghamshire at Edgbaston.

Tip 1- Carlos Brathwaite’s impressive bowling form this season.

Despite being known for his big-hitting in the T20 format, medium-pacer Carlos Brathwaite has been sensational with the ball in hand for Warwickshire this season.

With 18 wickets at an economy rate of 7.53, Carlos Brathwaite is the leading wicket-taker in the competition. Given his consistently good performances, we expect Carlos Brathwaite to take one wicket or more in this high-octane [email protected].

Tip 2- Alex Hales to continue his purple patch for Nottinghamshire.

Former England opener has been the standout performer with the bat for Nottinghamshire so far this season. In the previous game against Lancashire, Hales smashed a blistering ton to see the side register a close win at Trent Bridge.

With 335 runs at a strike rate of 172.68, there is no doubt that Alex Hales has been a bankable player for the side this year. So we expect Alex Hales to score 30 runs or more at [email protected]

Conclusion

Expect Warwickshire to beat Nottinghamshire and clinch the top spot in the T20 Blast competition.

1. Carlos Brathwaite to take one wicket or more in this high-octane clash- [email protected].
