The 37th match of Vitality Blast 2023 will take place on Friday (June 2) and feature Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. Three of the four games Northamptonshire (NOR) have played have resulted in losses. They lost two games while chasing a 180-plus and 200-plus targets. They are currently positioned just above the lowest performer. On the other hand, Leicestershire (LEI) have lost all four games. Currently, they are placed at the bottom of the points table.

Northamptonshire played against Warwickshire in their last match, where Warwickshire posted a huge total of 202 runs for the loss of six wickets in 20 overs, where David Willey, Tom Taylor, and Andrew Tye picked two wickets each. Freddie Heldreich stemmed the flow of runs by removing Davies and Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell in the space of two balls. With 65 runs off of 39 balls, Ricardo Vasconcelos gave Northamptonshire's chase a quick start. However, NOR lost wickets at regular intervals, making it difficult for them to chase down the total. Willey scored 33 runs in 27 balls, and Lewis McManus scored 29 in 14 balls, but no other batters could make a meaningful impact, which led to Northamptonshire's defeat.

Leicestershire squared off against Derbyshire in their last encounter, where Leicestershire again registered a loss. This loss will be more painful as they came so close to the target of 189 runs and lost by a difference of just two. There are many positives to take from this game for LEI, and one big thing is their middle order and Rehan Ahmad (28 in 14 balls), who fought till the end, which kept them in the game till the final over of the match.

Player Picks

7.5
C

David Willey NOR | ALL

David Willey has come early to bat and has bowled four overs in his four outings so far. He has made 30-plus runs thrice and picked 4 wickets in four games. The all-round capability increases his fantasy potential.

8.5
C

Callum Parkinson LEI | BOWL

The orthodox spinner has kept his form alive and has picked 7 wickets in the last 4 games. He has also taken a few important wickets at the right stage of the innings, and he should be the captain you are looking for.

9.5

Tom Taylor NOR | ALL

Tom Taylor, the bowling all-rounder, has picked 5 wickets so far and scored a quick-fire knock of 44 off 26 in the first game.

9

Rehan Ahmed LEI | BOWL

Rehan was phenomenal in his last outing, scoring an unbeaten 28 runs off just 14 deliveries. He also picked up 2 wicketsĀ while giving away 20 runs in 4 overs.

9

Ricardo Vasconcelos NOR | WK

The wicketkeeper-batter is in good form and has made two half-centuries in the last 4 games. He is a reliable batter and may continue his form.

8.5

Rishi Patel LEI | BAT

He has been promoted in the batting order and has delivered 40+ innings in the last two games. He is a good differential pick on your side, considering his form.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8

Sol Budinger

LEI | BAT

He has scored 35 runs in four games at a strike rate of less than 100; therefore, having him on your team is risky.

9

James Sales

NOR | BOWL

He has taken just a single wicket in four games this season and can be avoided for this game.
