Sam Hain has been Birmingham Bears' standout batter so far in this tournament and it was he and Jacob Bethell who took the team to a competitive total after a very poor start in their last game.
Moeen Ali got a golden duck at the top of the order in that match but he is the type of character who will not be phased by previous failures and instead will come to the wicket this evening and look to tee off from the first ball.
With the ball, George Garton and Danny Briggs, along with the wrist spin of Jake Lintott, are likely to be the main threats with the ball.

Leicestershire Foxes are in strong form as a team but funnily enough it is their premier opening batter Rishi Patel who is woefully out of form at the moment! He is their leading run scorer in the tournament but instead it could be the England international Rehan Ahmed or James Neesham of New Zealand or the man of the moment Louis Kimber who carries the side with the bat.
With the ball, Leicestershire Foxes do not have as much depth or carry such a threat and Scott Currie has been their top performer within this competition.
Spinner Rehan Ahmed is a fine talent and he will be targeting a return to the England Test side with strong performances in this tournament.

When this game gets underway, the temperature will be in the high twenties and we do not expect it to drop below 24 during the match. Humidity will also be high the longer into the evening the match goes.
At Edgbaston players can always expect a good cricket wicket which usually favours the batters over the bowlers. However, although it is not a spinner's paradise, they can benefit from the pace and bounce of the pitch.
We predict that both teams will want to field first in this game. The crowd can carry you with the bat at Edgbaston and they are typically at their noisiest in the second half of the evening.
Although it is Leicestershire Foxes who bring the stronger recent form into this game, both sides have had strong group stages. With the knockouts approaching, we expect Birmingham Bears to look to get back to winning ways and we are backing them to do so.
