NOT vs WRW Match Prediction & Analysis
Match number 85 of the 2024 Vitality Blast will see Nottinghamshire clash with Birmingham Bears at Trent Bridge. The Bears are sitting pretty at the top of the table in the North Group, and, barring some crazy hiccups, they have all but certainly made their way into the next stage. Things, however, aren’t too pretty for the Notts. They are in eighth place and need a miraculous turnaround from here to make it to the quarterfinals.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Nottinghamshire Preview
After struggling for the first half of the season, Nottinghamshire have finally managed two back-to-back wins (two of their last four matches were abandoned). They have earned just 6 points from 9 games and have a tough road ahead of them this season.
Captain Joe Clarke has led from the front, scoring 237 runs in 8 games at a strike rate of 163. He will have to continue doing the good work, because most of the other batters in the lineup haven’t turned up at all this year.
Jack Haynes (154 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 178) has had a decent season too, and you can expect a vital hand from him in this game.
Among the bowlers, Olly Stone (12 wickets in 8 innings at an economy of 9.46) has consistently delivered, but he tends to be a little expensive.
Ben Lister (8 wickets in 8 innings at 7.81) may not always get the wickets, but he bowls a tight spell at the start with the new ball.
Nottinghamshire Predicted Playing XI:
Joe Clarke (c), Benjamin Martindale, Alex Hales, Jack Haynes, Tom Moores (wk), Matthew Montgomery, Lyndon James, Liam Patterson-White, Calvin Harrison, Olly Stone, Ben Lister

Birmingham Bears Preview
Birmingham Bears are an unstoppable force this season, winning seven of the nine games they have played so far and losing just two. They are coming off a close four-run win against Yorkshire, where the Bears posted 214-7 and managed to restrict the opposition to 210-5.
Sam Hain, who was the top-scorer in that match, with a terrific unbeaten 95 off 50 balls, now tops the season’s batting charts with 395 runs in 9 innings at an average of 65.83 and a strike rate of 135.
He isn’t the only batsman doing well for the Bears this season. The likes of Jacob Bethella (280 runs in 8 innings at an average of 46 and a strike rate of 163) and Dan Mousley (226 runs in 9 innings at an average of 28 and a strike rate of 136) have done a fantastic job as well.
In the bowling department, it is left-arm spinner Danny Briggs who has been the standout performer, taking 16 wickets in 9 innings at an economy of 6.20.
Also, you should keep an eye on new ball bowler George Garton (8 wickets in 8 innings at 9.10).
Birmingham Bears Predicted Playing XI:
Alex Davies (c & wk), Ed Barnard, Dan Mousley, Sam Hain, Jacob Bethell , George Garton, Chris Benjamin, Zakary Foulkes, Craig Miles, Jake Lintott, Danny Briggs

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Trent Bridge is known for its a true, hard surface, conducive to fluent strokeplay for batsmen. However, the pitch does offer some assistance to bowlers, particularly under overcast conditions, as is likely to be the case here. The initial overs present an opportunity for bowlers with the new ball to exploit lateral movement, demanding vigilance from the batsmen. As the match progresses and the ball loses its shine, scoring runs becomes a more straightforward proposition for batters.
The weather in Nottingham on the day of the match is expected to be breezy with chances of rain. The game may hence be hampered or we can have a shortened affair.

Winning Prediction
Birmingham Bears have won four of their last five Vitality Blast encounters against Nottinghamshire, including one earlier this season. They are on top of their game right now and have great momentum with them. Nottinghamshire, on the other hand, are struggling to put up strong totals. Their bowling attack, too isn’t exactly threatening. The Bears’ robust batting unit itself makes them strong favorites for this clash. We reckon they will dominate this contest.
We are backing Birmingham Bears as the winners of this clash.
