Derbyshire Falcons vs Leicestershire Foxes Team Preview & Squads

Derbyshire Falcons

Against the Steelbacks, David Lloyd led the Derbyshire Falcons in scoring, and Wayne Madsen and Luis Reece both made significant contributions at the top of the order. We anticipate that middle-order hitters Ross Whiteley and captain Samit Patel will score runs in this game.

Just two bowlers split the five wickets that the Derbyshire Falcons took; Pat Brown, who continued his excellent form in the format with 3/33, and opener Zak Chappell shared 2/29. Blair Tickner will probably bowl quickly in this match.

Leicestershire Foxes

In front of fervent Yorkshire supporters, the Leicestershire Foxes easily reached their target of 152 and crossed the finish line with 35 balls left. That will give the batting line-up plenty of self-belief to go into this game at Edgbaston on Saturday.

Leicestershire Foxes, who bowled first on Friday, did a great job containing a very potent Yorkshire Vikings batting lineup, limiting them to 151/7. Both Josh Hull and Ben Mike, who had strong performances at Headingley, will be very confident going into this match.
