Preview:
In their second home fixture, Warwickshire will take on Leicestershire in the Group 1 match of the English One Day Cup 2021 on Thursday. Warwickshire finally registered their 1st win of the tournament against Derbyshire by 8 wickets, before losing their first two matches against Glamorgan and Nottinghamshire. They will feel relieved after their 1st win and will look forward to continuing the same momentum in the upcoming matches.
On the other hand, Leicestershire won their 1st game against Derbyshire quite convincingly by 6 wickets, but despite putting 327 runs on the board, they couldn’t defend the target and lost their 2nd match against Yorkshire. Batting has been their main strength and they need to work on their bowling skills if they want to win more matches.
