After a dramatic six run victory over Derbyshire Falcons last night, the Steelbacks continued their 100% start to the Vitality Blast and made it three wins out of three.

Attention now turns to Friday as an unchanged squad heads to Visit Worcestershire New Road to face Worcestershire Rapids.

The Rapids have won one and lost one, having beat Yorkshire on Sunday but lost their opener away at Lancashire.

Play is scheduled for a slightly earlier time of 5:30pm.

Opponent preview:

Worcestershire Rapids

Previewed by ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay

Captain: Brett D’Oliveira

Overseas players: Ben Dwarshuis (Australia, full competition), Jacob Duffy (New Zealand, first eight matches)

2024 finish: Eighth (North Group)

2024 leading run-scorer: Ethan Brookes (321)

2024 leading wicket-taker: Tom Taylor (17)

Key winter moves: The Rapids have strengthened their bowling with overseas duo Jacob Duffy, who is available for eight games, and Ben Dwarshuis while Ben Allison has signed permanently from Essex. Dwarshuis is a tried and tested T20 all-rounder, Duffy should hit the ground running after four impressive Rothesay County Championship games while Allison will be available this season to add further depth to a handy attack. Two-time Blast winner Josh Cobb left after a one-year white-ball contract.
