Leicestershire Team News & Playing 11

LEIC Team News

Leicestershire  Foxes made one change to their side in the last game against Birmingham Bears. They brought Ned Eckersley in place of wicket-keeper Lewis Hill who managed to score just 11 runs in three games. Eckersley is likely to be retained as the team's gloveman for this match against the Lancashire Lightning.

LEIC Key Players

Mark Cosgrove is among the leading run-getters for Leicestershire in the twenty20 tournaments while Ben Raine is leading the runs charts for the team this season. Both had a good outing last time against Birmingham Bears with scores of 42 and 113 respectively and they will be expected to carry that form into this match. Neil Dexter has made notable contributions in three out of four games and he is having a strike rate of close to 142. With the ball, Leicestershire will rely mainly on Zak Chappell, Callum Parkinson and Mohammad Nabi to do the job. Parkinson has taken the most wickets so far - seven from four matches - and is coming off a four-wicket haul against Birmingham. Chappell has six wickets in his kitty and has a decent economy rate of under 7.50 while Nabi too can be hard to score off as he does not give much freebies to the batsmen.

LEIC Recent Form

Leicestershire Foxes are currently fifth in the North Group standings with two wins and as many losses from the four league matches they have played so far. After beating Northamptonshire Steelbacks by four wickets on the opening day of the tournament, they suffered back-to-back defeats against Durham Jets and Nottinghamshire Outlaws respectively. Leicestershire, however, won their last match against the Birmingham Bears by a massive margin of 100 runs.

Lancashire Team News & Playing 11

LANCS Team News

Lancashire Lightning fielded the same team in their last two matches and they ended up winning both of them quite convincingly. So the team is unlikely to tinker with the winning combination and we therefore expect them to go into this game with an unchanged line-up.

LANCS Key Players

Liam Livingstone and Alex Davies are having a good tournament with the bat and they have already cracked a century and a couple of fifties respectively. Both batted well in the last game against Derbyshire and the team will expect this opening pair to deliver the goods once again. Steven Croft has scored the most runs for Lancashire in the shortest format and he will be the main man for his side in the middle order. Toby Lester and Stephen Parry will be the skipper's  go-to men when it comes to bowling. Lester is looking the more threatening of the two with six wickets in three matches which includes a match-winning four-fer in the last game. Parry with 117 wickets is the leading wicket-taker for Lancashire in this format and the left-arm spinner will play a crucial role in the middle overs.

LANCS Recent Form

Lancashire Lightning have won three of their first four league matches and are currently placed second on the points table with six points. They did not start off too well though, losing their opening game against Worcestershire Rapids by five wickets. Lancashire then made a strong comeback with three successive wins - twice against Derbyshire Falcons and once against Northamptonshire Steelbacks.

Leicestershire vs Lancashire Head to Head

­LEIC vs LANCS Head to Head

Lancashire and Leicestershire have played 25 matches against each other in the 20-overs format. While the former have won 16 of those, the latter have won just 7 with the remaining 2 matches having resulted in tie.

Lancashire have beaten Leicestershire thrice in their last five attempts. The two teams, however, won once each out of the two times they faced each other in the previous season.

In their most recent encounter last year, Lancashire put up 173/5 on the board while batting first and then successfully defended their total to edge out Leicestershire by four runs.

Matches Played: 25; Leicestershire Won: 7; Lancashire Won: 16; Tie: 2

­ Lancashire vs Leicestershire Betting Odds

Lancashire Lightning are favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this match at odds of 1.57 on Betway and 1.61 on Bet365. Leicestershire Foxes are playing on their home ground but despite that, they are the underdogs for this match and are being offered at a higher price of 2.25 on Betway and 2.30 on Bet365.

­Leicestershire vs Lancashire Prediction

Lancashire Lightning definitely have the upper hand when it comes to head-to-head record against Leicestershire Foxes. And having beaten the latter three times in the last five matches (including the most recent encounter last season at this very venue) will also give them plenty of confidence heading into this game. Moreover, Lancashire are coming on the back of three consecutive victories and all three of them have been fairly convincing. So although Leicestershire are a good enough side with in-form players like Ben Raine, Zak Chappell and Callum Parkinson, we feel that Lancashire who are carrying lots of momentum with them have a better chance of emerging victorious here.

Final Verdict: Back Lancashire Lightning to beat Leicestershire Foxes at 1.57 on Betway and 1.61 on Bet365.
