Northamptonshire Steelbacks will lock horns with Worcestershire Rapids in Match 61 of T20 Blast 2022 on June 9 (Thursday) at County Ground, Northampton. Steelbacks are positioned second in the points table with four victories in seven league matches. In their last outing, Tom Taylor finished with figures of 4/27, helping the team restrict the opposition to a score of 151. Then, Northants captain Joshua Cobb garnered 70 off 44 balls, which paved the way for them to chase down the total with 11 balls to spare. The team management has named an unchanged squad for this game and will look to continue their fine winning momentum.

On the other hand, Rapids are languishing at the bottom of the points table with a single win in six league matches. Ed Barnard picked two wickets in their last league match and contributed 27 runs as well. Other batters like Ben Cox and Brett D'Oliveira scored 25 each, but the team lost by 26 runs in a chase of 163. Ed Pollock has suffered illness, and Jacques Banton has been added to the squad. Talented batter, Gareth Roderick, is expected to get his due opportunity in the playing XI. It will be critical next few games for the Cobb-led side to maintain their hopes of sealing the quarter-finals spot.
