Lancashire Lightning will take on Essex Eagles in a Group A fixture of the Royal London One-Day Cup at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester on Thursday.
Lancashire Lightning have won just three out of their seven Royal London One-Day Cup matches and are currently third in the Group A points table. Their last match against Worcestershire Rapids was abandoned due to rain. Today's game is a must-win for them if they want to qualify for the quarter-finals. The Essex Eagles, on the other hand, have won five out of their seven Royal London One-Day Cup matches and are placed just above their opponents in the standings. They beat Sussex Cricket by a humongous 97-run margin in their last match.

Pitch Report
The pitch at Old Trafford has been much more supportive of the bowlers compared to the batsmen, who will have to spend some time in the middle before shifting gears. The team winning the toss will look to bat first and put up a big total on the board. Anything around 260 should be a good first innings score at the venue.
