Vitality T20 Blast 2023, Nottinghamshire vs Lancashire: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

Nottinghamshire and Lancashire will go head-to-head during the 25th North Group Division fixture on June 4 at Trent Bridge Cricket Ground in Nottingham. The game is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST.

Nottinghamshire is not experiencing a great campaign and have been outplayed in three out of five fixtures. Their NRR currently stands at an embarrassing low of -0.454. However, their win in the last fixture against Birmingham would have instilled some sense of hope in them ahead of this fixture.

Lancashire are marginally ahead of Nottinghamshire and are ranked at the number 4 position in the points table. They have won three out of six games so far and their NRR stands at 0.269. Lancashire suffered three consecutive defeats in their last 3 games and would be a tad bit worried leading up to this fixture.

Both teams are pretty much neck and neck and have all to play for in this upcoming match.
