The second quarter-final match of the 2022 T20 Blast will be played between Warwickshire and Hampshire at Edgbaston, Birmingham on July 7 (Thursday). Both teams have done well during the group stage matches and will be looking to win the quarter-final clash and get one step closer to the prized trophy.
While Hampshire won their last group stage encounter with skipper James Vince smashing the Sussex bowlers to every corner of the ground, Warwickshire had to suffer a close defeat against Lancashire by just two wickets. Skipper Carlos Brathwaite has not been able to give his best for Warwickshire and will look to bring out his A-game in an important match.
