Toss Prediction
The County Ground sports a surface that has generally been a batsman's paradise. Since the pitch is expected to remain good for batting throughout the course of the game, the team that wins the toss will probably prefer chasing rather than setting a target.

NOR Team News
Allrounder Rob Keogh has been ruled out of the entire season of the Vitality Blast 2018 with a finger injury. Northamptonshire Steelbacks have not yet announced his replacement and we expect them to go in with an unchanged lineup for this match.
NOR Key Players
Their top four in Richard Levi, Ben Duckett, Joshua Cobb and skipper Alex Wakely hold the key to Northamptonshire's batting. Duckett took his team off to a flyer with a 54-ball 96 against Leicestershire while Cobb and Wakely both struck half-centuries. Fast bowlers Rory Kleinveldt and Ben Sanderson will be the main threats in the bowling department. Kleinveldt has taken nine T20I wickets in six matches and he will be backed by his team to take wickets with the new ball.
NOR Recent Form
Northamptonshire Steelbacks have begun their Vitality Blast 2018 campaign with a four-wicket loss to Leicestershire Foxes on the opening day of the tournament. They will be disappointed with their bowling performance in that game as they ended up losing even after putting up a big total of 218 on the board.

Nottinghamshire Team News & Playing 11
NOTTS Team News
Nottinghamshire Outlaws will miss the services of batsman Alex Hales and fast bowler Jake Ball due to their international commitments in addition to Paul Coughlin who is recovering from an injury. Although they lost their Wednesday's clash against Birmingham Bears, they are unlikely to make changes to their lineup for this game.
NOTTS Key Players
Nottinghamshire will look to their opening batsmen Chris Nash and Riki Wessels to score the big runs in this match. Nash has 3396 runs in 155 matches in the shortest format while Wessels is coming off a good knock of 41 in the opening game against Warwickshire. Daniel Christian can hit the ball a long way and he will be crucial in the middle order. Nottinghamshire's bowling will rely mainly on the likes of Jake Ball, Samit Patel and Ish Sodhi. While ball is the top contender for providing the early breakthroughs, Patel and Sodhi could tie up the batsmen and frustrate them with their tight bowling.
NOTTS Recent Form
Reigning champions Nottinghamshire Outlaws had won their last three games of the previous season including the final against the Birmingham Bears. However, they have started this season off with an eight-wicket defeat at the hands of the same opposition in the opening match of the tournament.
Nottinghamshire Predicted Playing 11
Chris Nash, Riki Wessels, Tom Moores (wk), Samit Patel, Billy Root, Daniel Christian (c), Steven Mullaney, Luke Fletcher, Ish Sodhi, Jake Ball, Harry Gurney
