NOT vs WRW Match Prediction & Analysis
Notts Outlaws will begin their T20 Blast 2025 campaign at their home venue in Nottingham. They weren’t particularly impressive last season, and won just 2 home games while losing 3.
Birmingham Bears, on the other hand, finished at the top of the points table with 10 wins from 14 matches, including two against Notts Outlaws. The hosts feature batters like Alex Hales, Ben Duckett, and Joe Clarke. These three players will be expected to help the hosts make a comeback this season.
Bears will back their bowlers to put pressure on the hosts as they did last time they played at this venue. They have Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, George Garton, and Danny Briggs to name a few.
There are plenty of reliable wicket-takers in the squad for Birmingham, and in the batting lineup, they will be led by Beau Webster, Robert Yates, and Sam Hain.
Both teams have a solid-looking squad, and this game promises to be an exciting encounter at Trent Bridge.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Nottinghamshire Preview
Notts Outlaws will be looking to start this season with a stronger performance to set the tone for the rest of the tournament. They suffered some big losses last year, including one against Birmingham at their home venue.
Nottinghamshire were bowled out for 57 runs batting first at Trent Bridge. There are some big and promising names in this batting lineup, like Alex Hales, Ben Duckett, and Joe Clarke. However, in addition to these 3, the Outlaws also feature all-rounders Daniel Sams and Moises Henriques in the squad.
It looks like a solid bunch of batters who can post a highly competitive total at a great venue in Nottingham. Jack Haynes and Lyndon James will be crucial in the lower middle order, and if Sams makes it to the XI, he will be in the finisher’s role.
Olly Stone and Matthew Montgomerry will lead the bowling attack for the home team. Daniel Sams could be a great addition to the pace attack. They also have Dilon Pennington and all-rounder Daniel Paterson-White.
The bowling attack doesn’t look as threatening and will be a concern for the skipper going into this match. However, Stone can deliver some game-changing spells and will be one to watch out for.
Nottinghamshire Predicted Playing XI:
Joe Clarke (c), Ben Duckett, Alex Hales, Tom Moores (wk), Matthew Montgomery, Lyndon James, Ben Slater, Liam Patterson-White, Brett Hutton, Olly Stone, Daniel Sams
Nottinghamshire Actual Playing XI:
Joe Clarke, Calvin Harrison, Jack Haynes, Moises Henriques, Lyndon James, Conor McKerr, Matthew Montgomery, Tom Moores, Liam Patterson-White, Dillon Pennington, Daniel Sams
Birmingham Bears Preview
Birmingham Bears finished as table toppers in the last edition of the T20 Blast, but could not make it past the quarter-finals. The batting doesn’t feature as many stars as the opposition or any other team, but they delivered consistent performances to keep the Bears ahead in every contest.
Moeen Ali will be a key batter to watch out for. His batting form will be crucial for the Bears to go far in the tournament. Then there are Alex Davies and Dan Mousley in the top 3, who have been the key performers for the side.
There are plenty of batting options in this squad for every position. And that gives the Bears a big advantage over any other team in this tournament. All-rounders Ed Bernard and Jacob Bethell will be ones to watch out for in the middle-order.
Whereas, Mousley can deliver with the ball and has been a key wicket-taker for the Birmingham Bears. Chris Woakes will be another all-rounder expected to deliver timely breakthroughs with the ball.
George Garton and Jake Lintott will be leading the bowling attack alongside Chris Woakes in this squad. Danny Briggs is a key wicket-taker in the spin department, while Richard Gleeson and Craig Miles are other promising bowling options.
Birmingham Bears Predicted Playing XI:
Alex Davies (wk & c), Moeen Ali, Dan Mousley, Ed Barnard, Jacob Bethell, Beau Webster, George Garton, Chris Woakes, Jake Lintott, Danny Briggs, Craig Miles
Birmingham Bears Actual Playing XI:
Robert Yates, Alex Davies, Ed Barnard, Danny Briggs, Sam Hain, Jake Lintott, Craig Miles, Tom Latham, Kai Smith, George Garton, Adam Sylvester
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There will be light rain on the match day in Nottingham with a high of 21 degrees Celsius. It is likely to affect the match, and we expect a few overs to be reduced or an abandoned game in the worst-case scenario.

Average Turn
It is a balanced wicket at the Trent Bridge, Nottingham, where pacers have enjoyed great help from the surface with the new ball. It isn’t a particularly high-scoring venue, with the average 1st innings scores dropping to 133 runs in recent times. As a result, we reckon, 170+ could be a highly competitive score on this ground.
Toss: To Bowl
Though teams batting first in the T20Is have won 9 of the 15 matches, we don’t see a particular advantage to either batting or bowling first on this ground. Considering the nature of the contest and the strengths of both teams, we reckon, bowling first and chasing a target would be a great option.
NOT vs WRW
Winning Prediction
A lot depends on the availability of the star players in both squads. Hales can be a match-winner for the Outlaws, while Moeen Ali, Beau Webster, and Chris Woakes can take the game away from the hosts. The two sides are well-matched in of batting, but the visitors seem to have the upper hand in the bowling department. Birmingham Bears will start as favorites in our match prediction.
