Pitch Report
The wicket at the Emirates Old Trafford would be assisting the batters and a run-fest could be expected on this surface. A typical batting surface would mean that it could well turn out to be a high-scoring encounter and the bowlers – both pacers and spinners – are expected to have a tough time searching for breakthroughs. Defending a total would be extremely difficult on this pitch and therefore, the captain winning the toss will bowl first.
Probable Playing XI:
Lancashire
Dane Vilas (c), Josh Bohannon, Tim David, Phil Salt (wk), Liam Livingstone, Matthew Parkinson, Luke Wood, Richard Gleeson, Luke Wells/Steven Croft, Keaton Jennings, Tom Hartley.
Northamptonshire
Ben Curran, Chris Lynn, Lewis McManus (wk), Joshua Cobb (c), Rob Keogh, Graeme White, Ben Sanderson, Saif Zaib, Tom Taylor, James Neesham, Freddie Heldreich
Probable Top Performers
Probable best batter of the match
Keaton Jennings:
Keaton Jennings was instrumental in Lancashire registering an emphatic 87-run win over Nottinghamshire. He scored an impressive 55 which propelled Lancashire to a challenging total of 178/7. The total proved to be more than enough in the end as Nottingham were skittled for just 91 in their run chase.
Probable best bowler of the match
Liam Livingstone:
Liam Livingstone was the tormentor-in-chief in the game against Nottinghamshire where he was simply unstoppable with the ball in hand. He destroyed the opposition batting line-up with match-winning figures of 3/33 from his 3.4 overs. His brilliant bowling performance restricted the Daniel Christian-led side to less than 100 runs. The Manchester cricketer would be hoping to replicate a similar performance in the upcoming fixture.
