Team News:

Lancashire

Lancashire have been on top of the North group for the major part of the tournament and their team shows you why. The like of Glenn Maxwell, Liam Livingstone, James Faulkner can turn the match on its head, and each of them can be a good choice for captaincy in fantasy teams.

Leicestershire

Mark Cosgrove and wicket-keeper Lewis Hill have been decent at times. But it is the captain Colin Ackermann, who had set the record for the best bowling figures in a T20 match earlier this season, who has been consistent for Leicester in a tournament that they weren’t at their best.
