Leicestershire will lock horns with Derbyshire in the 31st match of the Vitality Blast 2023 at Grace Road in Leicester on June 1. Leicestershire have played three matches where they are yet to win any and are languishing at the bottom of the table in North Group. Derbyshire, on the other hand, have a similar record and are placed just one position above their rivals in the standings of North Group.

Leicestershire played against Worcestershire in their last match, where Worcestershire won the toss and they chose to bat. Worcestershire did not start well at all, losing three wickets just for the score of 30. Some strong partnerships for the fourth and fifth wicket brought them back into the game, where Kashif Ali was the star performer with the bat, and Usama Mir finished the game brilliantly. They posted a strong total of 183 runs for the loss of seven wickets. Leicestershire, in return, started decently and was made better by a good second-wicket partnership. However, no other batters could last after that, so the team could only muster 150 runs. Hence, Worcestershire won the match by 33 runs.

Derbyshire squared off against Northamptonshire in their last encounter, where Northamptonshire won the toss and elected to field. Derbyshire started rather slowly, further worsened by a heap of wickets in the first powerplay. They had lost four wickets by the time they scored 49 runs but were saved by a brilliant fifth-wicket partnership. This helped them post a decent total of 151 runs on the board. Northamptonshire lost a wicket early but didn’t put a foot wrong after that. They easily chased down the total with 12 balls to spare and won the match by six wickets.

Pitch Report

The track has largely supported batters, but bowlers are not disappointed here as well if they maintain tight line and length. There will be ample pace and bounce on offer for bowlers. Chasing the total should be the preferred option for the team winning the toss, with the average first-innings score here being 161.

C

Wayne Madsen DER | BAT

Madsen has been in sensational form where he has played three matches and has hit three consecutive fifties. He has smashed 168 runs and should lead your side.

9.5

Luis Reece DER | ALL

Reece has been dominating from both ends, scoring 95 runs and scalping two wickets in three matches. He can be another good choice for captaincy roles.

8.5

Callum Parkinson LEI | BOWL

Parkinson has been extremely economical so far which has helped him in taking wickets as well. He has picked up five wickets at an economy of 6.64 in three matches.

6.5

Wiaan Mulder LEI | ALL

Mulder is a fine all-rounder, capable of winning matches at both fronts. He has mustered 47 runs and three wickets in three matches.

8

Zaman Khan DER | BOWL

Zaman has been bowling in right areas and so has not been leaking away any extra runs. He has picked up five wickets at an economy of 8 in three matches.

8.5

Zak Chappell DER | BOWL

Chappell has been taking wickets regularly and has scalped four wickets in three matches so far. He could be a good budget pick.
