Prediction Summary
- Nottinghamshire are favored to win, driven by their recent 51-run (DLS) victory over Essex, where Tom Moores’s explosive 148 and Robert Lord’s tight bowling shone.
- The John Fretwell Sporting Complex’s batsman-friendly conditions align with Notts’ aggressive batting, led by Moores and Haseeb Hameed.
- Worcestershire’s bowling, with Tom Hinley and Jack Home’s five-wicket hauls in 2024, is potent, but their batting has been inconsistent in List A cricket, and they face a confident Notts side at home.
- Despite Worcestershire’s 3-2 head-to-head edge in the last five One-Day Cup meetings, Nottinghamshire’s current form and pitch advantage make them likely to secure a victory, potentially by 20-30 runs or 5-7 wickets if chasing.
