LAN vs DER Team Previews
Lancashire
Lancashire are looking to improve on their quarter-final exit during last year's T20 Blast. This year's tourmament started with a challenging fixture against Worcestershire and now they could have their hands full against against a strong Derbyshire outfit.
Lancashire have been heavily affected by England's ongoing T20 World Cup campaign. They are without Jos Buttler, Phil Salt and others. They're all in the United States and Caribbean at the moment, leaving Lancashire light on in-form batting options.
Keaton Jennings is their captain - and there is a lot of onus on him to lead the batting charge. Jennings has been in outstanding form at first-class level. Whether he can properly shift gear into T20 mode remains in the balance. This aspect will be important for Lancashire, as will the performance of Australian all-rounder Chris Green. He is a high-impact player with the ball.
Lancashire Playing 11
Luke Wells, Keaton Jennings, Josh Bohannon, Tom Bruce, Matthew Hurst, Steven Croft, Chris Green, Tom Aspinwall, Luke Wood, Jack Blatherwick, Mitchell Stanley.
Derbyshire
How Derbyshire fared against Lancashire before this fixture will have a lot of say on their push to beat Lancashire. It's well worth focusing on their big-name players, starting with Samit Patel. He is the team's captain and one of the best all-rounders in the tournament. Patel should add value with bat or ball, if not both.
Patel's spin could also be instrumental in balancing Derbyshire's bowling attack, which will likely be spearheaded by Blair Tickner and Daryn Dupavillon. Tickner can look forward to an interesting battle against New Zealand team-mate Tom Bruce, who is with Lancashire. Daryn Dupavillon has played international cricket for South Africa.
David Lloyd impressed with the bat against Northamptonshire, even if it was not enough to bring Derbyshire victory in their opening match of this year's T20 Blast. His 41 showed a lot of promise, as did Wayne Madsen's 37 and Luis Reece's 22, but all three need to be mindful of converting good starts this time.
Derbyshire Playing 11
Harry Came, Luis Reece, David Lloyd, Anuj Dal, Samit Patel, Brooke Guest, Ross Whiteley, Mitchell Wagstaff, Zak Chappell, Pat Brown, Daryn Dupavillon.
