Derbyshire vs Worcestershire Betting Tips

Jake Libby has been simply brilliant this season, and his List A record speaks volumes about his ability. In just 43 games, he has scored 1825 runs at an outstanding average of 60.83 with three hundreds and 15 fifties to his name. Betting on him is an absolute no-brainer. Kashif Ali is just one run behind Libby in the run-scoring list in the England Domestic One-Day Cup 2025, with 213 runs to his name. If you want a smart punt, he is a reliable choice to bet on. Ben Aitchison has picked up 21 wickets in 15 List A matches and has shown enough promise to be a reliable betting pick.

Derbyshire vs Worcestershire Toss Prediction

The County Ground in Derby has traditionally favoured teams chasing. In the four England Domestic One-Day Cup matches held here last season, the toss-winning side chose to bowl first on every occasion and went on to win each time. However, Derby’s huge 127-run win batting first against Nottinghamshire this season at the venue might tempt the team winning the toss to bat first.

Weather Report

With AccuWeather predicting just a 6% chance of precipitation, the clash between Derbyshire and Worcestershire is expected to go ahead without any weather disruptions.

Derbyshire to dominate the powerplay (Parimatch)

In the 2024 season of the ODI Cup, Derbyshire managed 56 runs on average in the powerplay, making them one of the better sides in the competition. This year, they have continued the same as well, scoring at a strike rate of 103. So backing them to do well once again in the first 10 overs isn’t far-fetched.

Derbyshire vs Worcestershire Best Batters

Ross Whiteley to be Derbyshire’s best batter (Parimatch)

Ross Whiteley was the top scorer for Derbyshire in their previous encounter against Nottinghamshire, where he scored a sensational 80 runs off just 52 balls, including eight fours and four sixes. He has shown that he can tee off from any situation and that makes him a great choice to bet on.

Jake Libby to be Worcestershire’s best batter (Parimatch)

Worcestershire captain Jake Libby has been their best batter this season and is the fifth-highest run-scorer in the competition at the time of writing. In three innings, he has scored 214 runs at a magnificent average of 107 with a hundred and a fifty to his name. He is a safe option to bet on, given his prolific form.

Derbyshire vs Worcestershire Best Bowlers

Ben Aitchison to be Derbyshire’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Ben Aitchison has been the pick of the bowlers for Derbyshire in this season of the England Domestic One-Day Cup so far, with six wickets from two innings. His figures of 4/34 in their previous game were one of the main reasons for their 127-run win margin. This makes him an attractive choice to bet on in this contest.

Ben Allison to be Worcestershire’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Ben Allison has been simply sensational for Worcestershire in his two outings so far this season, with seven scalps to his name at an average of just 11.57. He picked up stunning figures of 6/35 in his previous game, and that makes him an absolute no-brainer to bet on.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Worcestershire

Expect Worcestershire to beat Derbyshire. Worcestershire have a well-oiled batting unit which has consistently posted big scores, thanks to the rich vein of form of Jake Libby and Kashif Ali. They also have found a great bowling combination in Ben Allison and Ethan Brookes, and their might could be too much to handle for Derbyshire. Also, a better head-to-head record gives Worcestershire a psychological edge.
