Leicestershire head into this fixture buoyed by a convincing 6-wicket win over Worcestershire, where their bowlers set the tone early. Ben Mike starred with 3/30, supported by Liam Trevaskis and Logan van Beek, who kept the scoring in check during the middle overs. Rehan Ahmed also chipped in with a wicket, showcasing the team’s depth in the spin department. With the bat, solid contributions from the top four—Rishi Patel, Soloman Budinger, Shan Masood, and Rehan Ahmed—all scoring in the 20s, laid the foundation for a comfortable chase that was sealed with 17 balls to spare. With 4 wins from 7 matches and a playoff spot in reach, the Foxes will look to capitalise on home advantage and climb further up the table.
Nottinghamshire, on the other hand, chased down a daunting target of 207 in their last outing against Warwickshire, highlighting their dangerous batting unit. Tom Moores was sensational with an unbeaten 74 off 33, while Lyndon James anchored the innings with a calm 50. Even after losing early wickets, Notts’ middle order fired impressively, with McCann and Sams providing vital late-order acceleration. On the bowling front, Liam Patterson-White was the pick of the bowlers with 3/37, while Farhan Ahmed and Pennington kept things relatively tight. However, concerns remain around their top order’s early collapses and leaky death bowling. With 3 wins from 7 and a negative NRR, this match is crucial for Nottinghamshire’s hopes of breaking into the top four.
