NOR vs LAN Match Prediction : T20 Blast 2025

Northamptonshire, currently topping the North Group with six wins from eight, will be eager to return to winning ways after a rare slip-up against Nottinghamshire. Their bowling, led by Ben Sanderson and Luke Procter, remains effective in the powerplay and middle overs, but their batting faltered in the last match.

Saif Zaib and Lewis McManus showed promise, but with experienced names like David Willey and Ravi Bopara misfiring, they’ll need a steadier collective performance to post or chase a strong total. Lloyd Pope and George Scrimshaw must also step up with the ball to counter Lancashire’s batting firepower.

Lancashire, coming off a brutal 80-run demolition of Derbyshire, look in red-hot form. Luke Wells’ explosive 83 and Matthew Hurst’s 59 off 29 balls anchored a mammoth 243-run innings – the highest in this year’s tournament. Their bowling unit – led by Luke Wood, Chris Green, and Saqib Mahmood – then sliced through Derbyshire’s lineup with discipline and aggression.

With a strong NRR (+0.859) and batting depth including Livingstone, Jennings, and Turner, they pose a big threat. If they replicate their recent form, Lancashire can overwhelm even the table-toppers.

Northamptonshire’s strength lies in their discipline and experience, but against this rampaging Lancashire unit, their batting must click. Expect a tight contest if Northants’ top order fires early.

Bet on Lancashire to win.
