Leicestershire Foxes vs Lancashire Lightning Preview

• Last season, Naveen ul-Haq was the tournament’s leading wicket-taker, and he was at his best again against Worcestershire Rapids. Against Lancashire, he is our pick for Leicestershire’s leading wicket-taker.
• On Friday, Liam Livingstone scored only 8 runs off 11 balls, yet he is one of the top T20 batsmen in the world. As Lancashire Lightning’s leading run scorer in this match, he is highly worth backing. 
• Richard Gleeson, who has already dismissed nine men in this year’s league, is our pick for the leading wicket taker for Lancashire Lightning versus Leicestershire Foxes.

 

In the 2022 Vitality Blast, the Leicestershire Foxes will face the Lancashire Lightning. On Tuesday, June 7th, the game will begin at 18:30 local time at The Uptonsteel County Ground in Leicester.

The Leicestershire Foxes have won three games so far this season, all of which have come in their last four games. They have since defeated Yorkshire Vikings, Birmingham Bears, and Worcestershire Rapids after losing their first two games to Durham and Derbyshire Falcons. Rishi Patel led the way with 37 runs from 25 balls in the triumph over Worcestershire on Sunday. Naveen-ul-Haq scored 5-11 with the ball, bringing his season total to 12.

With four wins and one tie so far in the tournament, Lancashire Lightning are presently in first place in the North Group. Their most recent success came on Friday at Emirates Old Trafford, when they beat Northamptonshire Steelbacks by two wickets. Northamptonshire were reduced to 153-6 after five different Lightning bowlers each took a single wicket before the batsman got them over the line with one ball remaining. Tim David, a Singaporean, top-scored with 42 runs from 26 balls.
