Leicestershire Foxes |Leicestershire got off to a losing start at their home venue playing against Durham. Rishi Patel was the top scorer with 40 off 31 balls while chasing a target of 185 runs. The key players in the top order failed to get to double digits as Foxes were down to 16-3 in the 3rd over. Hamish Rutherford, Lewis Hill, and Arron Lilley need to bounce back and deliver a good start at their home venue against the visitors. Skipper Colin Ackerman is also a reliable middle-order batter to watch out for. The lower order features promising all-rounders like Ben Mike and Rehan Ahmed whose contributions can make a significant impact if the top and middle-order do their job well. Naveen-ul-Haq was economical but couldn’t manage to deliver many breakthroughs. He will be the key bowler along with Callum Parkinson and Roman Walker. Rehan Ahmed with his leg break bowling can be a crucial figure when the skipper needs a breakthrough. Walker has been one of the most successful bowlers for Foxes in the last season. Though he was expensive in the last game, he has the potential to be a match-winning bowler for Leicestershire. Derbyshire Falcons |Derbyshire were the favourites to win on the top betting sites in India during most of the run chase against Birmingham Bears. Though the openers Shan Masood and Luis Reece field to get Falcons off to a flying start, Brooke Guest at number 6 scored 54 off 34 balls to keep Falcons alive in the chase. Another impact performance in the lower order was from Matt McKiernan who scored a quick 26 off 15 balls at number 8. The middle-order batters Harry Came, Leus du Plooy, and Wayne Madsen need to stay a little longer at the crease in a run chase. Plooy has delivered many match-winning performances in the previous seasons and needs to play a longer inning at number 4. At least one of the middle order batters needs to pace his innings to suit the situation of the game. If Masood and Reece find their rhythm at the top, Derbyshire would be even stronger and pose a tough challenge to the home team. Scrimshaw, Hayden Kerr, and McKiernan will be the key bowlers to watch out for in the Falcons’ attack.
Derbyshire Falcons to win the match While both teams are coming into this match with a loss in their season openers, the Falcons seem to be in better form than the home team. Both teams have a deep batting lineup with all-rounders and wicket-keeper batsmen stepping up to the occasion. The top order of both teams is equally dangerous and on their best day can get the team to a massive total. However, in our T20 Blast prediction, Derbyshire Falcons get a slight edge over the Foxes and they start as favourites to win the match. They’ve got a more promising overall squad with their key players showing signs of good form and rhythm.
