Dream11 Prediction
Nottinghamshire is the clear favorite to win this encounter. They are currently positioned on top of the North Group table and have appeared much more convincing in their efforts in the league stages so far than Derbyshire. The Notts' bowling attack is far more experienced and potent than the Derbyshire bowling attack. We will bet with Notts to win this encounter and consolidate their position at the top of the table.
Top Picks
Wayne Madsen: Wayne Madsen is a veteran player and has been in awesome form for Derbyshire this year. However, he has not hit a fifty in his last couple of outings.
Leus du Plooy: The Derbyshire skipper was in excellent touch in the last match against the Bears. He smashed an unbeaten 66 from 25 balls to take his side to an unlikely victory.
Alex Hales: this right-handed opening batter was in good nick in his last inning. He is one of the most capable destroyers with the bat.
Colin Munro: The 36-year-old all-rounder from New Zealand was the Notts' top run-getter in their last match against Durham. You can bet on him to top score again.
