LAN vs NOT Match Preview
The Lancashire side is being led by Liam Livingstone in this competition. His team has made a perfect start to the tournament by winning their first couple of games easily. They have followed the solid display with the ball with equally good batting performance to follow. Livingstone will be hoping that his team carries forward the momentum when they are going up against Notts Outlaws who also won their last match. The Lancashire middle order has a lot of experience and they will be expecting a great show from Daryl Mitchell, Steven Croft, and the skipper Liam Livingstone again.
There are several great hitters in the Lancashire line-up such as George Bell, Tom Hartley, and Colin de Grandhomme making this a formidable line-up. Both Saqib Mahmood and Luke Wood picked up 3 wickets apiece in their last encounter. These bowlers will be keen to take early wickets again and put the opponents under pressure. Daryl Mitchell and Colin de Grandhomme bring a lot of experience to this bowling attack. They will be looking to maintain the scoring rate under check with Wells and Matthew Parkinson providing other bowling options.
The Notts Outlaws are being led by Steven Mullaney and they did a commendable job in their first game against Derbyshire Falcons. They managed to chase down a large total successfully thanks mainly to their top-order batting. However, the skipper will be expecting a much better showing from their bowlers. They are up against a very strong batting order in the match. One of the key batters in the first match was Joe Clarke. He will be eyeing a big partnership with Alex Hales for the opening wicket.
The Notts have some high-quality players in their middle order. They will be expecting more runs from batsmen such as Matthew Montgomery, Tom Moores, and Colin Munro. Lyndon James and Mullaney are responsible for having greater strength in the Notts' batting line-up in the lower middle order. The Notts' bowling attack has some quality bowlers such as Conor McKerr and Shaheen Afridi in it. However, other bowlers such as Matthew Carter, Mullaney, and Samit Patel have to bowl in the right area consistently.
