Notts Outlaws vs Lancashire Lightning Match Analysis

Match number 33 of the Vitality T20 Blast 2024 looks like it could be lopsided.  The struggling Notts Outlaws, who are now at the bottom of the North Group, will take against the Lancashire Lightning, who are currently atop the group after an incredible start to the season. Lancashire’s main objective will probably be to maintain their lead and establish their dominating position in the group, even if the Outlaws will be eager for their first victory.

This season, the Notts Outlaws have lost four games in a row; their most recent loss was a crushing 98 runs on June 7 in Derby against Derbyshire. The Outlaws were bowled out for just 102 in 16.4 overs while chasing a total of 199.

The Lancashire Lightning’s season has gotten off to the best possible start. With six points and an NRR of +2.069, they sit atop the table having won three of their last four games.

Notts Outlaws vs Lancashire Lightning Team Preview & Squads

Notts Outlaws

The team’s batting performance was subpar once again, as no batter was able to reach the 20-run threshold. Joe Clarke, the skipper, leads their batting order so far with just 85 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 151.

Matthew Montgomery, who has scored 81 runs in 4 innings at 114, is just behind him.

Their dismal performances are a reflection of the fact that none of the others have stood up. Even though Tom Moores and Alex Hales have had mediocre seasons thus far, there are high expectations for them both.

Olly Stone, who has taken eight wickets in four innings at an economy of 9.60, has virtually single-handedly commanded this bowling unit.  Ben Lister (4 wickets at 8.34) has also performed admirably, but in his opening period, the club will need more from him.

Lancashire Lightning

Lancashire defeated Warwickshire by 8 runs at Old Trafford in their last match, scoring 176 runs against the opposition. 

Luke Wells scored an incredible 66 runs off of just 32 balls, making him the game’s top scorer. Wells, who has scored 154 runs at a strike rate of 167 in 4 innings this season, is now the team’s top run scorer.

Steven Croft is next on the list with 95 runs in 3 innings with a 128-strike rate.

Chris Green, who has a 163-strike rate and has blasted 70 runs in 3 innings, has also been outstanding deeper down the order. Additionally, the all-around spin bowler has claimed six wickets at a 6.63 economy rate. Luke Wells’s spin has been a useful asset in the middle overs for him. He has also taken six wickets at a 6.16 economy rate.

The team will be looking to Luke Wood, one of the quick bowlers (4 wickets in 4 innings at 6.88), to take some early wickets with the new ball.

Notts Outlaws vs Lancashire Lightning outfield report

Trent Bridge, Nottingham

The team batting first has won three of the last five games played at Trent Bridge in Nottingham, including the most recent one. We predict that the captain who wins this match’s toss will bat first.

Nottingham’s weather is expected to be largely overcast and comfortable during the game. Since there is no chance of rain, the entire game should occur. 

The surface at Trent Bridge provides a real, hard pitch that is conducive to batting flourishes, but it also gives pace bowlers some lateral movement.
