Leicestershire
Northamptonshire
Leicestershire come into this fixture still reeling from a narrow one-wicket loss to Nottinghamshire, despite a commanding batting display that saw Rishi Patel (51 off 34) and Sol Budinger (56 off 45) anchor a strong total of 188/2. Their top order looks in sublime touch, with Shan Masood also adding a quickfire 40*. But concerns remain around their bowling under pressure — particularly in the death overs, where they let Notts chase down the target with a ball to spare. Logan van Beek (3/25) was the pick of the bowlers, but lacked support from the others, especially during the final few overs.
Northamptonshire, meanwhile, have now suffered back-to-back defeats and were outplayed by Worcestershire in their last outing. Their batting stuttered to 152/9 with no player crossing 20 except for Saif Zaib (17) and Bartlett (11). The team was visibly lacking momentum throughout the innings. Although skipper David Willey and Ben Sanderson picked up two wickets each with the ball, their total was never enough on a placid surface. Still, Northamptonshire’s six wins from ten games keeps them in a strong playoff position — and they’ll look at Leicestershire’s erratic bowling as a clear opportunity to bounce back.
This clash carries high stakes: a win for Leicestershire brings them level with Northants at 24 points and boosts their Net Run Rate. But they’ll need both a consistent bowling effort and another top-order blitz to make that happen.
