Pre-Match Pack: Worcestershire Rapids (A) & Durham (H)

Derbyshire Falcons have named a 15-player squad for their back-to-back Vitality Blast fixtures against Worcestershire Rapids (Thursday, 5.30pm) & Durham (Friday, 7pm). 

The Falcons go into their final two fixtures knowing only a pair of wins will give them a chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals, as well as hoping other results go their way.

With 17 wickets to his name, Pat Brown will be hoping to end the group stage in the 20s, while Mohammad Amir will be looking to end his stint with the Falcons on a high.

Derbyshire Squad:

04. Harry Came
05. Mohammad Amir
08. Daryn Dupavillon
10. Luis Reece
12. Aneurin Donald
15. Alex Thomson
21. Samit Patel (c)

28. Cam Fletcher
29. Brooke Guest (wk)

36. Pat Brown
44. Ross Whiteley
46. David Lloyd
77. Wayne Madsen

The Opposition

Worcestershire Rapids have endured a frustrating Vitality Blast campaign, with their eight points from 13 matches meaning they cannot progress to the knockout stages.

Durham, on the other hand, sit just outside the top four and know the final game against the Falcons could prove to be a winner-takes-all affair, as the North Group enters its final chapter on Friday night.
