NOR vs LEI Team Previews
Northamptonshire
Although the Northamptonshire team does not boast of an excellent record in the North Group, they have done a fair job so far. They are lying in fifth position in the points table and have eight points from seven games. They have won four matches and lost three. They have a net run rate of -0.515. The Northamptonshire team is going into this game after losing in their last contest. They played this game against Birmingham Bears on 20th June and lost by a significant margin of 90 runs.
The Birmingham Bears batted first in this game to raise a massive total of 219 runs for the loss of four wickets. The Northamptonshire were never in contention for a successful run chase and could manage just 129 runs for the loss of nine wickets. The only bowler who returned with decent figures for Northampton was Ravi Bopara. He was the pick of the bowling unit, picking up two wickets for 21 runs from his four overs. He was also the top batter for them, scoring 34 runs in an otherwise dismal show with the bat by the Northamptons.

Leicestershire
Leicestershire's performance in this contest was similar to that of Northamptonshire. They have also succeeded in collecting eight points from their seven games, but they are in a better position in the points table, third. This is mainly due to a reasonable net run rate of +0.337. They have also won four games and lost three. Unlike Northampton, Leicestershire is going into this game after a win over Yorkshire in their last contest. They batted first in this game and scored 166 runs all out in 19.5 overs.
Rishi Pate and Harry Swindells put together 42 runs for the 1st wicket in 3.5 overs. After Swindells' dismissal, Patel carried on to score 64 runs from 47 balls with two sixes and five fours. Ben Mike hit some big blows towards the end of the innings to score 28 runs from 20 balls to take the score to a respectable one. Several Leicestershire bowlers were right on the money during the Leicestershire innings. Scott Currie and Lewis Goldsworthy were the pick of the bowlers. They picked up three wickets each.
