English One Day Cup 2021, Group 1: NOT vs LEI Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update

Preview:

It’s been a frustrating last week for English domestic Cricket where a lot of matches have been abandoned due to rain. Nottinghamshire was no exception either, as their last fixture against Somerset was called off in the mid-way. They started their tournament campaign well with a convincing 86 runs victory over Warwickshire and lost their second match against Surrey by 33 (D/L Method). They occupy the 5^th spot in the standings with 3 points.

Meanwhile, despite a 159-run stand from the openers against Warwickshire, Leicestershire’s middle order crumbled in the run chase of 303 and fell short of the target by 7 runs. This was their 2^nd consecutive loss in this tournament. Rishi Patel is in top-notch form and has already scored more than 200 runs.
