Steven Mullaney's side went down by 5 wickets against the Worcestershire Rapids in the last game. They are fourth on the points table, with three other teams breathing down their neck. A win here will assure them of a place in the quarterfinal. They are up against the strongest side in their group, and Mullaney would like his key players to be at their best in this game.     
 
Joe Clarke has been in good form and must deliver a positive start in this game, along with Alex Hales. Matthew Montgomery, Lyndon James, and Haseeb Hameed make it a strong middle order, and they must do well in this game. Tom Moores, Mullaney, and Calvin Harrison must bat well down the order, as the Bears' bowlers will test them.    

Shaheen Afridi is the key bowler for the side, and he must grab early wickets, sharing the new ball with Lyndon James. Jake Ball and Matthew Carter must do well in the middle overs as the Bears have a very strong batting line-up. Mullaney and Calvin Harrison add variety to this attack.

Warwickshire Preview

Alex Davies' side is through to the next round. They defeated Worcestershire Rapids by 53 runs in the last game in a dominant show with the bat and the ball. Davies will look to build momentum ahead of the next round. His opponents have also done well, and the Bears skipper would look a strong show from his players.  

Alex Davies and Robert Yates set up an 80-run stand in the last game, and the team will need a similar show from them in this game. Glenn Maxwell brings in X-factor to the middle order and will look to add runs with Dan Mousley and Sam Hain. Chris Benjamin, Chris Woakes, and Ed Barnard make it a strong batting line-up.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Nottingham be partly cloudy on June 30. The conditions are expected to be tough for the batters. The track has played slow, and batters would have to play the patient game and look to rotate strike. A score of 175 runs or more would be good for this surface.

Venue Details

Trent Bridge, Nottingham, has a large outfield, so the batters have fewer boundary-scoring opportunities. They have to rotate the strike to do well in these conditions. There is early movement off the surface for the fast bowlers, and we have seen spinners enjoy a good record here.

Toss: To Bowl

We have seen several high-scoring games here this season. The wicket hasn't changed much in character in the second innings, we have seen big run chases. The side that wins the toss would like to take advantage of the early assistance for bowlers by opting to bowl first.

NOTTS vs WARKS
Winning Prediction

Birmingham Bears have done well in the series, but their record at this venue has been poor. They had lost against the Notts Outlaws earlier in the season and need a good show from their players in this game. The Outlaws have a strong batting line-up and a great record at home. We expect it to be a close game, but the Outlaws, playing at home, have the edge.
