Leicestershire will take on Derbyshire in the ninth match of the T20 Blast on Friday.
Leicestershire started their T20 Blast campaign with a 16-run defeat to Lancashire. Batting first, Lancashire put up 172 runs on the board, courtesy of Finn Allen’s 51-ball 738. With figures of 4/24, Gavin Griffiths was the most successful bowler for Leicestershire. In reply, despite Scott Steel’s unbeaten half-century and solid contributions from Josh Inglis and Rishi Patel, Leicestershire failed to chase down the target.
Derbyshire also lost their opening T20 Blast match against Lancashire. With the help of Luis Reece’s half-century, Derbyshire scored 168 runs while batting first. However, Liam Livingstone scored an unbeaten 94 off just 58 deliveries to help Lancashire reach the target with three balls and six wickets to spare.
Both Leicestershire and Derbyshire will be keen to get off the mark in the T20 Blast today.
