Steelbacks are the favourites to win this match.
A win for either team will move them up the North Group standings, and we anticipate a close match with little to choose between the two teams. Under Mickey Arthur, Derbyshire is well-drilled, but Chris Lynn is in terrific form, and we believe he will lead Northamptonshire Steelbacks to victory in this encounter.
