Warwickshire Playing XI: Alex Davies (wk), Moeen Ali (c), Glenn Maxwell, Sam Hain, Chris Benjamin, Dan Mousley, Ed Barnard, Danny Briggs, Henry Brookes, Jake Lintott, Craig Miles.
Nottinghamshire Playing XI: Joe Clarke, Alex Hales, Colin Munro, Matthew Montgomery, Tom Moores (wk), Lyndon James, Steven Mullaney (c), Samit Patel, Shaheen Afridi, Matthew Carter, Conor McKerr.
Sam Hain: Sam Hain scored a century in the last game between these two sides. Moreover, he is having an excellent season so far being the highest run scorer for the Birmingham based side. He has 203 runs, including two half centuries in five games. Overall, Hain has 584 runs against Nottinghamshire at a mind blowing average of 83.43 in his T20 career.
Alex Hales: Alex Hales has scored half centuries in each of his last three innings. He is looking in great touch. He is also currently the highest run scorer for the Notts, scoring 201 runs, including three 50s after the five games. He has his own limitations at this venue but looking at his form it is advisable to keep him as one of your captaincy choices.
Dan Mousley: Dan Mousley will be another terrific pick considering his all-round form at the moment. He has scalped 6 wickets so far, including 4 of them in Birmingham at a strike rate of 9. Moreover, Edgbaston has always been a suitable place for the finger spinners.
Jake Lintott: Lintott is not having a great season by his standard as of now. He has not been selected by even 10% of the teams as of writing this making him one of the best differential picks to have in your team. He has eight wickets against Warwickshire at an amazing strike rate of 9.75.
Matthew Carter: Matthew Carter is another player which we can have in our team as a differential pick. He has picked wickets against Warwickshire in the past and him being an off spin option improves his chances to do well. He can be worth taking risks.
Moeen Ali: Moeen Ali has returned from IPL duties but his poor form with the bat continues. Moreover, he had a very poor season at Edgbaston last year, averaging around 15. It is advisable to not have him in your XI ahead of this game.
