Lancashire haven’t won a match in the last 15 days. They have lost two back-to-back matches against Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire. Lancashire will definitely miss their key players in the likes of Liam Livingstone and Jos Buttler. They are currently occupying the 7th spot in the North Group standings with 8 points.

Worcestershire had an excellent last two games, where they beat Leicestershire and Durham by 7 wickets and 8 wickets respectively. They need to keep the same momentum going forward in their upcoming matches as well. At present, they have placed themselves at the 5th spot in the North Group standings with 10 points.
