Essex (ESS) will take on Lancashire (LAN) in the third quarter-final of the T20 Blast 2022 at Old Trafford in Manchester on Friday, July 8.
Lancashire, who started the T20 Blast campaign as the team to beat, lived up to the hype to a certain extent, registering eight wins in 13 completed games. Despite them being without a few key players for this game, Lancashire will bank on their big guns Tim David and Phil Salt to deliver. However, they are up against former T20 Blast champions Essex, who have been sensational in the recent past. With a well-balanced team in place, Essex will start as the favorites. All in all, a cracking game beckons with a place in the semi-final hanging in the balance.
