Lancashire have far greater firepower with the bat, especially with Buttler and Livingstone in the mix
Their bowling unit is better balanced and has delivered under pressure in key moments
Derbyshire’s form has been poor, and their lack of finishing power and leaky bowling makes them vulnerable

Derbyshire find themselves languishing near the bottom of the North Group and desperately need a spark to revive their T20 Blast campaign. With just two wins from seven, inconsistency has plagued both their batting and bowling departments. Their top order has fired in patches, but collapses and a lack of power-hitting depth have let them down. Skipper Wayne Madsen and Leus du Plooy have provided occasional resistance, but the team lacks momentum. The bowling attack, featuring the likes of Zak Chappell and George Scrimshaw, has struggled to contain runs or take wickets in clusters. With confidence low, Derbyshire need a near-perfect performance to upset their more settled opponents.
Lancashire, meanwhile, are very much in the hunt for a top-four finish, sitting comfortably with four wins in six matches. Their batting has looked formidable, with the likes of Keaton Jennings, Jos Buttler, and Liam Livingstone giving them firepower and flair. The return of Buttler and Livingstone adds a world-class edge to the top order. Bowling-wise, Tom Hartley and Luke Wood have been effective in the powerplay and death overs alike, while Saqib Mahmood has added sharpness. With the team gelling well and firing on multiple fronts, Lancashire look the far more complete unit heading into this clash.
