LAN vs DER Match Prediction : T20 Blast 2025

Lancashire return to Old Trafford full of confidence after a clinical 5-wicket win over Northamptonshire, their sixth win of the campaign. With 24 points and a strong NRR, they’re locked in a tight race for top spot in the North Group and look every bit the title contenders. Derbyshire, on the other hand, are languishing at the bottom of the table with just two wins from eight games and desperately need a turnaround to keep their season alive.

Lancashire’s star power continues to shine. Philip Salt is in sublime form at the top, ably supported by Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone in the middle. Their pace unit—anchored by the evergreen James Anderson and a fiery Saqib Mahmood—is executing plans with precision. In their last encounter with Derbyshire, they piled on 243 and won by 80 runs, completely outclassing their opponents in all departments.

Derbyshire’s problems are mounting. Their top order lacks stability, their middle order is brittle, and the bowling attack has leaked heavily under pressure. Zak Chappell and Chris Green caused trouble last time, but their inability to maintain pressure across 20 overs has hurt their chances. They must play out of their skins to challenge this high-flying Lancashire outfit.

With form, squad depth, and conditions on their side, Lancashire will start overwhelming favourites to secure another crucial win.
