In the upcoming North Group match of the Vitality T20 Blast, Warwickshire will be squaring off against Nottinghamshire on Sunday (June 05) at the Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Warwickshire got off to a brilliant start in the tournament as they won their first three games. However, they lost the momentum in between, losing their next two matches.
Carlos Brathwaite-led side succumbed to a 15-runs defeat in their last game against Worcestershire as they failed to chase down the target of 218 runs.
After getting a poor start, their middle order tried to steady the ship, but they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and ultimately scored 202 runs, which were not good enough to earn them a victory. They are currently at the second position in the North Group points table.
Nottinghamshire, meanwhile, have managed to win two of their four games while their one match was abandoned due to rain. They outwitted Derbyshire by seven wickets in their most recent encounter.
Alex Hales was at his aggressive best as he smashed 91 runs off just 33 balls to provide Notts with a terrific start as it helped them complete the chase in the 18th over. Dan Christian-led Nottinghamshire is currently placed at the fifth spot in the North Group standings.
