Derbyshire vs Leicestershire Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Even though Luis Reece did not have a great outing against Leicestershire last season, he scored 1048 runs in the last campaign with an average of 87.33 which is phenomenal. This season in the last game against Glamorgan, Reece scored 91 runs in the second innings which makes us believe he would score well in the upcoming game.
Lewis Hill had a solid campaign for Leicestershire last season as he scored 880 runs in 14 games with an average of 40 runs. In the two matches against Derbyshire, Hill scored 162 and 63 which makes us believe he would have a good game and would score well in the upcoming fixture.

Derbyshire vs Leicestershire Betting Odds
Leicestershire to have a better opening partnership than Derbyshire
Much like other teams Leicestershire and Derbyshire have started off their campaigns with two draws and considering how this fixture has ended in the last few years it wouldn’t be a surprise if once again both teams manage to share the spoils. Last year both sides went head to head twice and even though Leicestershire had a better opening partnership in the first game, in the second match, Derbyshire managed a 108 runs opening stand. Looking at the two teams we believe Leicestershire to dominate this fixture. In the last game, Leicestershire managed a 59 runs opening stand which makes us believe they would once again end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming fixture.

Derbyshire vs Leicestershire Top Team Batters
Wayne Madsen to be Derbyshire’ top batter
Wayne Madsen had a solid campaign for Derbyshire last season as he ended up with 779 runs. In the two games against Leicestershire, Madsen scored two half centuries in two matches and this season, in the last game against Glamorgan Madsen scored 63 which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Rishi Patel to be Leicestershire’ top batter
Rishi Patel had a brilliant season last year as he scored 1075 runs which includes a half century against Derbyshire and was the leading run scorer for Leicestershire. This year once again he has had a solid start to the campaign as he has already scored 159 runs in two matches which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Derbyshire vs Leicestershire Top Team Bowlers
Alex Thomson to be Derbyshire’ top bowler
Alex Thomson had a sublime season last year as in ten matches he bagged 31 wickets and was one of the most consistent bowlers for Derbyshire this season. Thomson had a brilliant game against Glamorgan in the last game as he bagged 12 wickets in the game which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Matt Salisbury to be Leicestershire’ top bowler
Matt Salisbury did not have a great season last year as he bagged 14 wickets in six matches. But he has had a positive start to the campaign this year, in the last game he bagged 3/77 and we expect him to spearhead Leicestershire’s bowling attack and make a difference which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
