Derbyshire Falcons vs Leicestershire Foxes Preview

• Prior to this match, Derbyshire had lost its previous three games.
• Three of Leicestershire’s past four encounters against Derbyshire have ended in defeat.
• Derbyshire’s batting lineup appears to be a little more formidable than Leicestershire’s.

 

In the 2022 Vitality Blast, the Derbyshire Falcons will face the Leicestershire Foxes. On Thursday, June 9th, the game will begin at 19:00 local time at The County Ground in Derby.

Derbyshire Falcons have won two games and lost four so far in the competition, putting them in the bottom half of the North Group. They enjoyed a good start to the season, but losses to Derbyshire Falcons on Tuesday, Notts Outlaws on Friday, and Lancashire Lightning on Wednesday have put them on the back foot. The Falcons’ leading scorer was Wayne Madsen, who made 37 runs off 27 balls before George Scrimshaw again led the bowling attack. In his last three outings in the competition, he has taken 7 wickets.

Leicestershire Foxes are currently in third place in the North Group after seven games, with three victories and four defeats. After winning three of their previous four matches, they were defeated by Lancashire Lightning by 7 wickets in their most recent match on Tuesday. Only three players reached double digits, with keeper-batsman Lewis Hill scoring 50 runs off 34 balls. Lancashire Lightning was too strong with the bat and cruised to victory with 23 balls to spare, but not before Naveen ul-Haq picked up his 13th and 14th wickets of the tournament.

Derbyshire Falcons Team News & Probable Playing XIs

Shaan Masood, who is having the summer of his life, leads Derbyshire’s batting lineup. His performance in the longer versions of the game was outstanding, and he is capable of winning T20 matches as well. We have high hopes for him and believe he will make an immediate effect.

Leicestershire Foxes Team News & Probable Playing XIs

Leicestershire has fared much better than we anticipated. The batting lineup is one of the poorest we’ve seen all season in the T20 Blast 2022. Steel, Ackerman, and Lilley are the most important players.
