That's it from the coverage of this game. This is Vikhyat Jain signing off on behalf of my fellow commentator, Anirudh and scorer, Dushyant. Until next time, Ciao!
In the end, it was a rather comprehensive win for Warwickshire after losing the toss. A collective team effort got them through the line and they sit at the helm of the Point Table of the North Group.
Earlier in the day, Worcestershire won the toss and opted to field first but the decision did not turn out to be in their favour. The Warwickshire batters were up for the task as they put a mammoth total of 196 runs on the board. Without a single fifty in the innings, Warwickshire reached the score, courtesy of some crucial partnerships right from the star. Mousley was the top-scorer for the team with a not-out 49. Worcestershire's bowling looked pale apart from Usman Mir who took three wickets, splurging only 22 runs.
In response, Worcestershire did not have a great start either as they lost two quick wickets upfront. Brett and Hose resurrect their innings with an important partnership of 78 runs. But the chase went nowhere as the Worcestershire were not able to keep up with the ever-creeping required run rate. Worcestershire will look back and feel that they let it slip with their bowling effort in this game.

18.6 H Ali to U Mir
2 In the block hole, Mir flicks it to the mid-wicket for a couple
18.5 H Ali to U Mir
6 Banged in short and bang it goes long into the distance. Mir is a fierce striker of the ball and here's an example of it. Stays in his crease and deposits it over the cow corner for a biggie
18.4 H Ali to U Mir
0 Perfect yorker. Mir could only push it back to the bowler. Hardly any batter could have done anything about it
18.3 H Ali to U Mir
2 Short ball, pulled from the bottom half of the bat only for a single. Need sixes here Worcestershire

2 Full and wide, Mir plucks it out to the right of the sweeper and collects a couple while the fielder gives it a chase and stops it
18.1 H Ali to B Cox
