NOT vs LEI Team Previews
Nottinghamshire
Nottingham has seen a dip in its form during the last couple of weeks as the team has lost 3 of its last 4 matches, and is currently 4th on the North Group points table. A win here will take it through to the quarterfinals. But if they lose, they will have to depend on the result of a couple of other matches to know their fate.
The opening pair of Alex Hales and Joe Clarke will look to give the team a brisk start here. The former made a strong start to the season but seems to have lost a bit of steam recently, coinciding with the team’s poor run.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Tom Moores slammed a half-century in the last match, albeit for a losing cause, and will be seen in the middle order alongside Matthew Montgomery, Lyndon James, and Steven Mullaney. While Mullaney has struggled with the bat, his performance with the ball is better as he has picked up 12 wickets so far. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Jake Ball will once again lead the pace attack.
Both have some impressive numbers this season. The spin attack has got more teeth thanks to all-rounder Imad Wasim, who will feature alongside Matthew Carter.

Leicestershire
Leicestershire will heave a sigh of relief as the tournament comes to an end for them with this match. They have won just 2 of the 13 matches they have played and are at the bottom of the points table. However, they will still be searching for a win here to exit with their heads held higg.
The team has tried many combinations at the top of the order but that hasn’t had much of an impact on its performance. Peter Handscomb and Wiaan Mulder will likely open the batting here. Mulder hasn’t been in the best of forms, scoring just 223 runs in 11 innings.
Rishi Patel is the standout performer with the bat for Leicestershire, being the highest run-getter for them. He will feature in the middle order alongside Colin Ackermann, Nick Welch, and Lewis Hill. Louis Kimber has scored a couple of half-centuries and will add depth to the batting.
But perhaps a bigger letdown for Leicester has been its bowling as except for Callum Parkinson, none of the bowlers have bowled consistently, and the departure of their star spinner, Rehan Ahmed, has further dented the team’s arsenal.
Leicestershire will need to consider serious changes in the team before the next season.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Trent Bridge Stadium is good to bat on and has hosted quite a few high-scoring encounters. The ball comes on nicely onto the bat and the batsmen will find it easy to play the shots. The average first-inning score here is around 185. The bowlers who bowl a disciplined line and length will be rewarded though, particularly the seamers.
The weather is likely to remain overcast with temperatures of below 20 degrees Celsius.
NOT vs LEI Betting Tips
Looking at the performance of both the teams so far, it is clear that Nottingham has the upper hand here. They have few quality players on the team and also an excellent bowling attack that can ask tough questions of the opposition.
Bet on Nottinghamshire to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Joe Clarke has played well this season and is the leading run-scorer for Nottingham. He has been scoring at an average of 35.25 and has scored 26 or more runs in 5 of his last 8 innings. We are therefore backing him to play well here.
