The Vitality T20 Blast 2023 action will resume on Wednesday, May 24, with Northamptonshire locking horns with Worcestershire in a North group clash. The County Ground in Northampton is all set to host this exciting clash between both teams.
After a disappointing season last year, Northamptonshire will be hoping for changes in fortunes this year under the leadership of their new skipper David Willey.
The team finished at the bottom half of the points table last year with 14 points, winning just six of their 14 games. The team will be looking to start their campaign on a high and get closer to winning the trophy this year.
Worcestershire, on the other hand, had an even worse season last year as they finished the league stages at the bottom of the points table with five points. They only managed to win two of their 14 games.
The arrival of Michael Bracewell will provide a much-needed balance to the side as the New Zealand all-rounder is expected to contribute equally with both bat and ball.
