Preview:

Going into the knockout stages of the 2020 edition of T20 Blast, Nottinghamshire are one of the favourites to win the title. They have shown excellent consistency and dominance in the group stages. With 7 wins out of 10 games, they topped the table in North Group.

Their quarter-final opposition is fellow North Group team Leicestershire. The Foxes won only 4 of their 10 games, and were indeed lucky to make it through to this stage. However, one of those four wins was against Nottinghamshire, hence it might be a cracker of a contest.
