Lancashire vs Leicestershire Predictions

Lancashire have won their first three matches of the Vitality Blast season and their top-order is firing, so I am backing them to beat struggling Leicestershire.

Lancashire’s Keaton Jennings has scored 66, 95 & 24 in his last 3 innings.
Lancashire’s Luke Wells hit six sixes in his 50-ball innings of 87 against Notts.
Leicestershire’s Sol Budinger has scored 30, 39, 29, 25 & 51 in his last 7 innings.
Leicestershire’s Shan Masood scored 45 off 35 balls against Derbyshire.

Head-to-Head

Lancashire have won four and lost one of their last five matches against Leicestershire. Those four wins all came in their last four matches against Leicestershire.

Lancashire Form

Lancashire made it three wins from their opening three games in the Vitality Blast when they beat Durham by four wickets.

James Anderson (4-0-17-3, econ 4.25) made an incredible return to the Vitality Blast after over a decade, knocking over Durham’s top three batters as they slipped to 71/4. Durham ended their 20 overs on 150/6.

Michael Jones top-scored with 55 off 39 balls as Lancashire scored a thrilling win off the last ball of the match.

Lancashire Team News

The key for Lancashire is their firing top-order batters, but having the highly experienced Jimmy Anderson in the side gives them a massive edge against a Leicestershire top-order that all failed to reach double figures in their last match.

Leicestershire Form

After winning their opening match of the Vitality Blast against Derbyshire, Leicestershire slumped to a five-wicket defeat against Northants.

Leicestershire crashed to 39/7 in the 8th over before Logan van Beek (42) staged a mini-recovery to lift them to the three-figure mark. Their last three wickets fell for 26 runs as they were bowled out off the last ball of their 20 overs for 122.

Northants reached their target for the loss of just five wickets with four balls in hand. Their attack all bowled well, but Logan van Beek (2/21, econ 5.25) and Roman Walker (2/20, econ 6.00) were the chief wicket-takers.

Leicestershire Team News

Leicestershire’s top-order boasts some quality batters, but they have struggled in their first two matches of the Blast. Their bowling attack is their strength so far this season, but they need their batters to find form soon.

Verdict

Lancashire v Leicestershire

I am backing Lancashire to win. I am also backing Keaton Jennings to top score for Lancashire.

Sol Budinger is a good bet to top score for Leicestershire.
