The new T20 Blast season has begun, and all teams are eager to begin their quest to be crowned champions. With batting becoming more evolved and bowlers becoming more intelligent, the battle between bat and ball in the T20 Blast’s shortest format will be one to watch.

Birmingham Bears has had an excellent start to the season, winning their first two games with a dominant performance. They are second on the points table with 4 points thanks to the return of Glenn Maxwell and the good form of the top order and bowling department.

Lancashire has won three of their three games this season, putting on dominant performances in each of them. Their openers are batting well and putting up big totals, which the bowling staff is defending. They’ll want to go 4 for 4 and take home the lead-up top.

Winning 3 out of the 3 games so far, they will want to capitalise on the start and seal the top spot in the group as soon as possible. They are the team to beat in the competition and will hope to keep up this form for the rest of the tournament.

With such a large total to defend, the bowling staff ensured the victory was secured without allowing many runs. By dismissing both openers within the first three overs, they ensured they would not lose this game. Luke Wood was the standout bowler, taking two wickets for 29 runs.

Warwickshire vs Lancashire Batsmen Worth Watching

Glenn Maxwell would improve any T20 team anywhere in the world, and the Bears certainly benefited from his 47 runs from 27 balls against the Leicestershire Foxes on Friday. Before this game, Sam Hain has been the standout batter, with scores of 83 not out and 65 not out.

Lancashire Lightning had three scores in the 30s (Phil Salt, Luke Wells, and Liam Livingstone) against Notts Outlaws on Saturday, but New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell produced the biggest knock of 85 not out from 41 balls in a team total of 208-4.

Warwickshire vs Lancashire Bowlers Worth Watching

So far in the competition, the wickets have been evenly distributed among the Birmingham Bears team, and it was Danny Briggs’ turn to step up in the most recent match, returning very impressive figures of 3-15 from four overs. Craig Miles has already taken two wickets in both games.

Luke Wood is not only a T20 specialist bowler, but he is also in excellent form, as evidenced by his wickets of Notts Outlaws’ strong openers Alex Hales and Joe Clarke in his first two overs on Saturday. Saqib Mahmood has also been performing admirably.
