Leicestershire vs Derbyshire Predictions

Leicestershire are undefeated in three of their last four matches, with a tie and two wins. Derbyshire have lost three of their last four matches and are unlikely to offer 4th-placed Leicestershire much of a threat.

Leicestershire’s Rishi Patel has scored 35, 48, 48, 43, 64 & 104 in his last 6 innings.
Leicestershire’s Peter Handscomb has scored 75*, 26, 33 & 43 in his last 7 innings.
Derbyshire’s Aneurin Donald has scored 84, 68 & 52 in his last 4 innings.
Derbyshire’s David Lloyd has scored 41, 33* & 50 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

Derbyshire have won their last five matches against Leicestershire.

Leicestershire Form

After beating Yorkshire by 20 runs, Leicestershire played out an incredible tie against Northants.

Northants scored 208/5 off their 20 overs. Josh Hull (2/38) was the best of the Leicestershire bowlers.

Rishi Patel scored a sensational 104 off 45 balls (S/R 231.11) with 13 fours and five sixes as Leicestershire matched Northants’ 208 runs, but for the loss of seven overs. No 9 batter Lewis Goldsworthy hit his first ball for four to tie the scores off the last ball.

Leicestershire Team News

Leicestershire are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Derbyshire Form

Derbyshire followed up their seven-wicket loss to the Bears with an eight-run loss to Nottinghamshire.

Notts scored 173/5 off their 20 overs, with Samit Patel (2/24, econ 6.00) the best of the Derbyshire bowlers.

Derbyshire offered a good chase but fell eight runs short with just two wickets in hand. Aneurin Donald hit five sixes in his innings of 52 off 26 balls.

Derbyshire Team News

Derbyshire need to improve their batting and bowling and are likely to make some changes to their squad.

Verdict

Leicestershire v Derbyshire

I am backing Leicestershire to win. I am also backing Rishi Patel to top score for Leicestershire.

Aneurin Donald is a good bet to top score for the Derbyshire.
