Bears vs Derbyshire Predictions
After picking up the first win of their Vitality Blast campaign, I am backing the Bears to be too good for Derbyshire, who are on a three-match losing streak.
- Bears’ Sam Hain (161 runs, ave 161.00) is 4th in the Vitality Blast runs list.
- Bears’ Alex Davies has scored 40 & 65 in his last 3 innings.
- Derbyshire’s Wayne Madsen has scored 100 & 35 in his last 4 innings.
- Derbyshire’s Aneurin Donald hit five sixes in his 22-ball 50 against Nottinghamshire.
Head-to-Head
Derbyshire have won three and lost two of their last five matches against the Bears. The Bears have won the last two matches between the two sides in a row.
Bears Form
After losing their first two matches of the season, the Bears pulled off a six-wicket win over Yorkshire to get their season started.
Yorkshire started well but were soon struggling against excellent bowling from Danny Briggs (2/28, econ 7.00), Jake Lintott (2/30, econ 10.00) and Moeen Ali (2/30, econ 7.50). They ended on 164/7 off their 20 overs.
The Bears got off to a great start, Tom Latham (44 off 35 balls) and Alex Davies (65 off 45 balls) adding 103 for the first wicket inside 12 overs. Sam Hain (24* off 12 balls) saw his side home to a six-wicket win with an over to spare.
Bears Team News
The Bears will be full of confidence after picking up their first win of the season and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.
Derbyshire Form
Derbyshire suffered their third defeat in three matches when they lost to Nottinghamshire by seven wickets on the D/L Method.
Aneurin Donald (50 off 22 balls) and Wayne Madsen (35 off 35 balls) got the Derbyshire innings off to a good start, but the rest of their batters struggled to up the tempo and they ended their 20 overs on 162/9.
Rain reduced the Derbyshire innings to 15 overs. Ben Aitchison (1/10, econ 5.00) struck an early blow for Derbyshire, but Notts recovered to hit their target with seven wickets and seven balls to spare.
Derbyshire Team News
Derbyshire desperately need a win to stay in the hunt for the playoffs, and they will need a big performance from their batters and bowlers.
Verdict
I am backing Bears to win. I am also backing Sam Hain to top score for the Bears.
Wayne Madsen is a good bet to top score for Derbyshire.
