NOT vs LEI: Fan2Play Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for T20 Blast 2021, North Group

Match Details

Nottinghamshire will meet Leicestershire in the upcoming North Group match in the Vitality T20 Blast tournament. This clash takes place at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham.

This encounter will be played on Thursday (July 1) at 11:00 PM IST.

Preview

Both teams have had entirely different campaigns this season, which makes Nottinghamshire favourites for this fixture. The Steven Mullaney-led side has been on a roll this season and their position in the team standings narrates the entire story. With five victories in nine games, Nottinghamshire are second in the North Group team standings. Notably, three of their matches got washed out due to rain.

On the contrary, nothing much has gone Leicestershire’s way in T20 Blast 2021. They have failed to perform as a unit and lost one game after another. As a result, they are reeling at the rock bottom of the table. With time running out of Leicestershire’s hands, they need to buckle up soon.

Captaincy Picks for NOT vs LEI

Alex Hales

One of the dangerous openers going around in world cricket, Alex Hales has played several fiery knocks in the season. The swashbuckler has been playing big knocks and needless to mention, he has been scoring at a staggering rate. So far, the opener has scored 335 runs in nine games and Leicestershire bowlers must beware of him.

Josh Inglis

Another opener who can shine in this contest is Josh Inglis. The uncapped batsman has delivered consistently this season and would like to continue his sensational run. Inglis has so far accumulated 218 runs in 10 games which also includes a sensational century. Hence, Leicestershire would be counting on him in this contest.
