Derbyshire will square off against Leicestershire in Match 63 of the Vitality T20 Blast 2022 on Thursday, 9 June. The North Group fixture will be played at the County Ground in Derby.

Derbyshire have struggled so far this season. They have won only two of their six matches and are placed eighth in the North Group standings. Their previous game against Northamptonshire resulted in a five-wicket loss.

Derbyshire could only get to 151/9 batting first. The total was never going to be enough and Northamptonshire got over the line in just 18.1 overs to win comfortably in the end. They will need to win this match to get their campaign back on track and gain some momentum.

Derbyshire vs Leicestershire Match Prediction

Neither side has been consistent in this year's T20 Blast so far and this could be a closely-fought contest with both sides desperate to return to winning ways.

In both their cases, the batting has let them down and the bowling needs to step up as well. However, Derbyshire are playing at home and hence, start with a marginal advantage over Leicestershire.

Prediction: Derbyshire to win.
