Birmingham Bears have won three of their previous five games against Derbyshire. They’re in fantastic shape and have a strong understanding of the pitch. Derbyshire, too, is on a winning streak and boasts a well-balanced lineup. Birmingham’s batting form, on the other hand, may be too much for them to handle. Back the Birmingham Bears to win this contest.
