Worcestershire Rapids Team Preview:
Worcestershire Rapids got off to a disappointing start in their Vitality Blast campaign, losing by 8 wickets to Yorkshire Vikings. Their batting needs to fire in this match, as they were only able to muster 101 runs in their previous outing. The bowling attack, which struggled against a strong Yorkshire Vikings batting lineup, will be hoping for more assistance from the pitch in Worcester.

Lancashire Lightning, in contrast to Worcestershire Rapids, had a winning start to their campaign, defeating Durham comfortably. Their batters displayed excellent attacking intent, while their bowlers, including Tom Aspinwall who took four wickets on his Blast debut, were impressive.
Match Prediction:
Lancashire Lightning appear to be the stronger team on current form, and their bowling attack is likely to be key again. We predict Lancashire to beat Worcestershire Rapids.
