Preview
Warwickshire have been brilliant this season so far, winning four of their first seven games. Notably, they have suffered just two defeats while one of their encounters was washed out due to rain. They are currently third in the North Group team standings with nine points, but a win in this contest might see them toppling Yorkshire at the top.
On the other hand, Derbyshire’s campaign hasn’t been that delightful. So far, they have won just two of their eight games and are, subsequently reeling at the penultimate position in the table. Performing as a unit has been a concern for them and it would be interesting to see if they can change their fortunes in the upcoming contest. Notably, Warwickshire walked away with a three-wicket away when these two sides met earlier in the season.

Captaincy Picks for WAR vs DER
Sam Hain
The uncapped batsman has played one magnificent knock after another this season and tormented many prominent bowlers. Sam Hain can play shots all over the park and staying at the crease for long is also within his reach. In fact, the right-handed batsman is currently the third-leading run-getter of T20 Blast 2021, having mustered 286 runs in six outings.
Carlos Brathwaite
The West Indies star is one of the most celebrated T20 all-rounders going around and his form this season has been nothing but red-hot. Carlos Brathwaite has been taking wickets regularly, and that too, without conceding too many runs. The dasher has also contributed with his big-hitting lower down the order. Hence, Derbyshire must come up with a plan to tackle him.
