Northamptonshire will face Worcestershire in a North group clash on Wednesday, May 24. The County Ground in Northampton is ready to host this thrilling match between both clubs.
After a dismal season last year, Northamptonshire will be hoping for a turnaround this year under the leadership of new captain David Willey.
Last season, the squad finished in the bottom part of the standings with 14 points, winning only six of their 14 games. The club will be trying to start the season on a positive note and get closer to lifting the trophy this year.

Worcestershire, on the other hand, had an even poorer season last year, finishing the league stages with five points at the bottom of the table. They only won two of their fourteen games.
Michael Bracewell’s presence will bring much-needed balance to the team, as the New Zealand all-rounder is expected to contribute equally with both bat and ball.
