The Vitality T20 Blast 2025 keeps delivering high-octane action, and another exciting contest is on the cards as Worcestershire (WOR) take on Northamptonshire (NOR) at the scenic Worcester ground. Scheduled for June 6th at 10:00 PM IST, this match presents both sides with an opportunity to gain crucial momentum in the group stage. While Worcestershire will rely on their home advantage and look to bounce back with a strong performance, Northamptonshire—powered by seasoned names like Willey and Bopara—will aim to assert dominance and build on their campaign.
Clear and nice weather is anticipated, which is perfect for a full and uninterrupted match. Cool evening conditions should aid both pacers and spinners.
While the match is at Worcester, the pitch is reported to behave similarly to The Oval — slightly on the slower side. Batting becomes trickier as the match progresses, making it advantageous to set a target.
With 36 meetings and 18 victories apiece, Worcestershire and Northamptonshire enjoy one of the T20 Blast's most evenly matched rivalries. This sets up a classic showdown in the 2025 edition.

Northamptonshire (NOR) appears to have the advantage on paper, with David Willey leading from the front and seasoned fighters like Ravi Bopara supporting them. But Worcestershire, playing at home, will look to bank on local knowledge and an in-form Dwarshuis to pull off a win.
Prediction: Northamptonshire to win a close match unless WOR’s middle order clicks.
