Northants vs Leicestershire Predictions


Northants enjoyed a comprehensive victory over Yorkshire in their Vitality Blast opener, so I am backing them to beat Leicestershire in their second match.

  • Northants’ Justin Broad has scored 46, 36, 23, 29 & 67 in his last 7 innings.
  • Northants’ Matthew Breetzke has scored 94, 45, 30* & 36 in his last 5 innings.
  • Leicestershire’s Sol Budinger hit 48 runs in boundaries in his innings of 51 against Derbyshire.
  • Leicestershire’s Shan Massod scored 45* off 35 balls against Derbyshire.

Head-to-Head


Northants have won two and lost two of their last five matches against Leicestershire. The other match ended in a thrilling tie.

Northants Form


Northants opened their 2025 Vitality Blast campaign with a 13-run win over Yorkshire. 

Northants’ Top 5 were on fire as they posted 237/4 off their 20 overs. Justin Broad (67 off 32 balls) and David Willey (54 off 24) added 85 for Northants’ third wicket, hitting 11 sixes between them. 

Northants got off to a sensational start to defending their total, with David Willey (3/42) reducing them to 9/3 off the first five balls of their innings. Yorkshire recovered superbly, but Ben Sanderson (2/29, econ 7.25) ensured that the visitors ended on 224/9 off their 20 overs.   

Northants Team News


After a great start to their campaign, Northants are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Leicestershire Form


Leicestershire beat Derbyshire by five wickets in their Vitality Blast opener at home in Leicester. 

Derbyshire were restricted to 170/6 off their 20 overs. Logan van Beek (3/37) struck twice early on to reduce Derbyshire to 35/4 in the sixth over. 

Rishi Patel (27 off 20 balls) and Sol Budinger (51 off 17 balls) added 73 for the 1st wicket off 4.5 overs as Leicestershire raced to a five-wicket win off 8.4 overs. 

Leicestershire Team News


There are no injury reports from the Leicestershire squad.

Verdict

I am backing Northants to win. I am also backing Justin Broad to top score for Northants.

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