Nick Gubbins' side performed well in their quarterfinal against Worcestershire. Their bowlers held their nerves in the game's dying stages to a 10-run win in the contest. They will face a tough opponent in Warwickshire, and Gubbins would like to see his players put up their best performance in their bid to enter the final for the first time since 2019.
Fletcha Middleton has been among the top run-getters this season and will look to deliver a good start with James Vince. Aneurin Donald is in good form with back-to-back hundreds to his game, and he will look to add runs with Ben Brown and Gubbins in the middle order. They have depth in the batting line-up and expect runs from Liam Dawson, Toby Albert, and Ian Holland.
Keith Barker and Holland have bowled well in the last couple of games, and the side will expect early wickets from this pair. Brad Wheal will feel confident after his 4-wicket haul in the last game, and he must do well in the middle overs with Dawson. Mason Crane and Gubbins add depth to this bowling attack.

There will be a cloud cover over Birmingham. The surface is flat but slow, where the ball stops on the batsmen, making it difficult to play strokes. Bowlers will get some assistance from the surface here, and a score of 300 would be a good one under these conditions.
Edgbaston, Birmingham, is a slow wicket where batsmen can't easily hit through the line. The fast bowlers get favorable conditions at the start, and the spinners can also grip and turn the ball. The large boundaries also make it a tough ground for the batsmen who have to build their innings to do well.
It is the end of the season, and the pitches have got slower, and setting up a score on the board is always a challenge. The weather predictions for the day don't look good either, adding to the challenge for the batsmen. Thus, we believe the side winning the toss would choose to bowl first here.
Hampshire has performed well with the bat in the last few games. However, there are still a few concerns about the consistency of their bowlers. They need to bowl well to win this game against the hosts. Warwickshire has been consistent, and they have the home advantage. It gives them an edge in this contest.
