Derbyshire Team News & Playing 11
DER Team News
Ahead of this game, only their opponents and Durham are below Derbyshire in the North Group. So far, the Falcons have beaten Leicestershire Foxes but lost to Northamptonshire Steelbacks and Lancashire Lightning either side of that victory. They have not won any of their last five clashes against the Outlaws.
DER Team Batting
Although Harry Came and David Lloyd looked solid at the top of the order for the Falcons at Old Trafford, the 57 run defeat margin would have been a lot larger if it were not for keeper-batter Brooke Guest who hit 42 runs from 32 balls. He could well move up the order for this game.
DER Team Bowling
Picking up wickets has not been an issue for Derbyshire so far in this year’s T20 Blast but the economy rates of their bowling attack have been too high. Pat Brown and Zak Chappell are their most potent bowlers but both will need to also keep the runs down against a strong batting line-up if they are to get a positive result.
DER Team Form
Derbyshire impressed in their win over Leicestershire Foxes but were completely outplayed in the last match.
Derbyshire Predicted Playing 11
Luis Reece, Harry Came, David Lloyd, Anuj Dal, Samit Patel (c), Brooke Guest (wk), Ross Whiteley, Zak Chappell, Mitchell Wagstaff, Daryn Dupavillon, Pat Brown
Nottinghamshire Team News & Playing 11
NOT Team News
After losing to Northamptonshire Steelbacks and Birmingham Bears across last weekend, Nottinghamshire went down against Worcestershire Rapids on Thursday. Joe Clarke’s side need to turn around their form very quickly or else they will have too much ground to make up to qualify for the knockout stage.
NOT Team Batting
In front of their home fans against the Rapids on Thursday, Nottinghamshire produced a very poor 134/7 when chasing only 155 to win. Captain Clarke and experienced Alex Hales both made single figure scores and the opening pair must perform better in this match.

🏆 Derbyshire vs Nottinghamshire Prediction
Although it is still early days in the competition, both sides are operating at the wrong end of the table and will view this game as a winnable fixture. We expect the experienced players in the Nottinghamshire XI to step up in this match and we think they will be too strong for the hosts. Our prediction is for Nottinghamshire to win.
