The Birmingham Bears welcome the unbeaten Leicestershire Foxes to Edgbaston, hoping to become the first side to inflict defeat on the visitors this season.
The Leicestershire Foxes head across the Midlands to Edgbaston to take on the Birmingham Bears hoping to keep their unbeaten run going. Our Birmingham Bears vs Leicestershire preview features one side looking to keep their 100% record going, while the other look to get a third win in four games. The Bears have started solidly with two wins from three, while Leicestershire have won both of their matches in the competions this year.
The Bears will rely heavily on former International stars Jeetan Patel with the ball and Ian Bell with the bat. Both players have been incredible for the Bears and will be the key figures in both disciplines. The Foxes have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball and HD Ackerman has been prolific with the bat. Luke Ronchi adds a touch of international class and Mark Cosgrove is always dangerous.
The Birmingham Bears opened their account with a big eight wicket win over Worcestershire before overcoming the dangerous Nottinghamshire by six wickets. They were then humbled by Northants in their last outing. The Foxes beat last years North group winners Lancashire by three wickets as well as Worcestershire to stay perfect in the competition.
Ahead of our Birmingham Bears vs Leicestershire prediction we look at the head-to-head record of the two sides. The sides have met three times in T20 Blast competition since the inception of the tournament in 2015. Birmingham have won two out of the three completed matches between the two sides.
Odds available at 10Bet.
Despite the fact they have lost a game in the competition, it is easy to see why the Bears are favourites. They have the added touch of class in the ranks and they will utilize that against the Foxes. They should also be backed by a large home crowd, who should venture out to back their team.
The Bears have a strong line up and will want to start strongly with the bat. Expect them to fly out of the blocks and look to set a platform for a big total. The Foxes will hope they can restrict the Bears if they are forced to chase a total.
