NOT vs NOR Team Previews
Nottinghamshire
Nottingham didn’t have the best of times during the previous season and failed to make it to the semifinal stage. However, the team will hope to make a positive start and turn things around.
Nottingham has a strong batting lineup consisting of both, international as well as domestic batsmen. Alex Hales and Colin Munro are known for their aggressive brand of batting, while Joe Clarke and Tom Moores were pretty consistent last time, with the former being the top run-getter for them.
There are a couple of quality all-rounders too in the form of Steve Mullaney and Lyndon James who not only add depth to the batting but also provide flexibility to the bowling line-up.
Dane Patterson, Olly Stone, and Josh Tongue are likely to feature in the pace attack, while Calvin Harrison may feature as a spinner in the playing eleven.

Northamptonshire
Northampton made a winning start to its campaign as they defeated Derbyshire in a thrilling encounter on Thursday. They will now hope to extract a similar outcome from this match as well.
Ricardo Vasconcelos and Matthew Breetzke will hope to give the team a strong start. Both of them can play the big shots and will play an important role during the PowerPlay. Northampton’s biggest strength lies in the middle order. Ravi Bopara and David Willey have plenty of experience playing in the league and if one of them plays till the end, the team can make a big score.
With the likes of Saif Zaib, Sikandar Raza, and Lewis McManus coming in lower down the order, there is no dearth on the depth of batting. David Willey and George Scrimshaw bowled a brilliant spell in the last game, picking up 2 wickets each. Freddie Heldreich will helm the spin attack, assisted by Raza.
