Derbyshire and Lancashire will face-off in the North Group game of the ongoing T20 Blast on Sunday. Lancashire have been unbeaten so far in the tournament after three matches and are being looked at as the serious contender to win the title this season. They defeated the defending champions Worcestershire in their previous game and no doubt the momentum is with them at the moment.

Derbyshire, on the other hand, are second from the bottom with only a solitary win in three matches and are coming off the defeat at the hands of Nottinghamshire in front of the home ground. They would want to get back to the winning ways quickly and most importantly, make the most of the home games.
