Preview:
Worcestershire has started its campaign at the T20 Blast 2021 with mixed responses. Their first match against Hampshire at home had ended in a tie, for which they shared points. After that, they travelled to Northamptonshire and won that match convincingly by 32 runs.
Now they will be up against Lancashire, who has not played a single away game yet. They have won two matches at home against Leicestershire and Derbyshire. This contest should be interesting as both the teams have some quality players in their ranks.

Top Picks for WOR vs LAN Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Worcestershire
Moeen Ali has started his tournament with a bang. He took two wickets in the first match and repeated that effort in the next match. In the second match, he scored a fantastic 30-ball 52.
Ross Whiteley has got some runs in both matches. He started the tournament with a 42 and followed that up with a 23.
Top Picks – Lancashire
Finn Allen showed in the previous game how dangerous he can be during his knock of 73 runs. He would be looking to add some more to his tally.
Liam Livingstone played quite an exceptionally knock in the first match when he smashed an unbeaten 94. He may not have scored runs in the second game, but surely, he is still in good form.

WOR vs LAN Risky Captaincy Choices:
Matt Parkinson has been among the wickets, and that could make you want to choose him as a captain, but it will be a risky pick.
Josh Tongue is a pretty one-dimensional player, but on his day, he can pay off dividends. He will be a risky captaincy pick.
Player you should avoid:
Ed Barnard has played 77 T20 matches and picked up only 48 wickets. He doesn’t even have a great batting record. It’s advisable that you avoid him.
