In the 2022 Vitality Blast, Notts Outlaws will face Birmingham Bears. On Friday, June 17th, the game will begin at 18:30 local time at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.

Notts Outlaws are sixth in the North Group with seven points from seven games. They have three wins, three losses, and one no-result, and are now two points out of a top-four spot. The Outlaws ended a two-game losing streak by defeating Leicestershire Foxes by 5 wickets in their last Vitality Blast match on Friday. After only 13.2 overs, Alex Hales and Ben Duckett both scored 44 runs to get the team home. Luke Fletcher, Dane Paterson, and Calvin Harrison had all taken two wickets earlier in the encounter.

After gaining 10 points from their first eight matches in the group round, Birmingham Bears sit in third place. Last Friday, they were defeated by Yorkshire Vikings by 10 wickets in front of their home crowd at Edgbaston. The Bears’ top four batters combined for only 16 runs, and it was only some timely contributions from Adam Hose, Chris Benjamin, and Jake Lintott at the bottom of the order that propelled them to 101 runs. Jake Lintott, a spinner who has 13 wickets in the campaign, has gone wicketless in the last two games.
