Derbyshire's campaign in the Vitality T20 Blast 2023 has been relatively neutral, as they have won six matches and lost as many. With this record, they currently occupy the sixth position on the leaderboard. Unfortunately, their chances of qualifying for the quarterfinals seem unlikely at this point.

On the other hand, Worcestershire find themselves in a more favorable position. They are at the third position with seven wins and 15 points.
