Match Details:
The match between Lancashire and Leicestershire in the North Group of the Vitality T20 Blast 2019 will take place at the Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester on Friday, August 30 at 5:30 pm GMT.
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.
Predicted Playing XI
Lancashire
Steven Croft, Glenn Maxwell, James Faulkner, Dane Vilas (c & wk), Alex Davies, Keaton Jennings, Liam Livingstone, Matthew Parkinson, Liam Hurt, Richard Gleeson, Josh Bohannon
Leicestershire
Mark Cosgrove, Gavin Griffiths, Arron Lilley, Lewis Hill (wk), Colin Ackermann (c), Aadil Ali, Will Davis, Dieter Klein, Harry Dearden, Callum Parkinson, Harry Swindells
Injury and Availability News:
There are no fresh injury concerns as of now. Jos Buttler, hasn’t been available for Lancashire for a while now as he playing for England in the Ashes.
Weather and pitch report
Historically, Old Trafford has been a bat first kind of a wicket. But in England, overhead conditions matter a lot. Friday is expected to be shadowed by clouds, and if that remains the case, blowing first might benefit the teams with the ball expected to swing.
H2H record
Earlier this season, the match between these two teams did not yield a result due to rain. On four previous occasions, Lancashire and Leicestershire have won two a piece.
