Worcestershire Rapids will lock horns with the Northamptonshire Steelbacks in a North Group T20 Blast fixture at the County Ground in Worcester on Friday.
Worcestershire Rapids have won two out of their four matches and are currently sixth in the North Group points table. The Yorkshire Vikings thrashed the Rapids by 94 runs in their last T20 Blast outing.
Northamptonshire Steelbacks, on the other hand, are sitting at the bottom of the North Group standings, having failed to pick up even a single win from their four T20 Blast matches. The Steelbacks will head into today's game on the back of a five-wicket loss to the Derbyshire Falcons.
Worcestershire Rapids claimed a 32-run victory over the Northamptonshire Steelbacks in the reverse T20 Blast fixture earlier this season.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the County Ground in Worcester is a pretty balanced one, where the pacers will get some movement early on with the new ball. The batsmen, meanwhile, will need to spend some time in the middle before shifting gears. Anything above 160 should be a good first innings score at the venue. The captain winning the toss should look to field first as the majority of the T20 Blast games played on this ground have been won by the chasing teams.
