NOR vs LEI Match Prediction - Aug 16, 2019

Leicestershire managed to win an important match against Derbyshire less than 24 hours before its game against Northamptonshire and is now on the fourth spot in the North Table standings. A win in this match will help it move to the third spot and right in the mix for securing a spot in the quarter-finals.

Northamptonshire has just two wins to its name right now but three rained-out games have meant that it is still in the running for a playoff spot.

T20 Blast 2019 has entered the most important phase of its group stage and there is no place for any more slip-ups.

Northamptonshire vs Leicestershire T20 Blast 2019 is going to be played at the County Ground, Northampton on the 16th of August 2019.

NOR vs LEI Team Previews

Northamptonshire

Northants was brushed aside quite easily by Lancashire in its last match in a continuation of the trouble the side has been having this season. Richard Levi, Adam Rossington, Joshua Cobb, and Alex Wakely have not been scoring enough runs to get Northamptonshire to defendable totals.

Even in the last match against Lancashire, there were a number of batsmen that got a start but none that crossed 40. It is highly unlikely that you are going to winning too many matches with batting performances like these.

Dwayne Pretorius and Faheem Ashraf were brought in to help balance the side out with contributions in the batting and bowling departments but that has not come to fruition.

Faheem Ashraf has been very disappointing with the bat and Dwayne Pretorius has not been able to have any impact with the ball.

Ben Sanderson, Nathan Buck, Faheem Ashraf, and Joshua Cobb are not going to be giving the Leicestershire batsmen any sleepless nights.

Leicestershire

Mark Cosgrove top-scored in a low scoring match against Derbyshire for Leicestershire and will be hoping to do the same against Northamptonshire. It is vital for Leicestershire to be able to win this match since most of their other rivals for a playoff spot have already done so.

Aaron Liley looked in stunning touch before getting out and we think a big score from him could be on the way.

Colin Ackerman, Harry Deardon, and Harry Swindells are all striking the ball nicely but need to start converting their starts into bigger scores.

Ackerman has already broken the all-time world record for taking the most wickets in a T20 match and continued his good form with three more to his name in the previous match. There is nothing really special about his bowling and maybe that’s why opposition batsmen seem keen to take him on.

Gavin Griffiths also picked up three wickets while the rest of the bowlers had a good day as well.

Leicestershire is hitting winning form at just the right moment and that could be very important in close matches.
