Derbyshire clearly have an edge over Northamptonshire in the bowling department. The likes of Zak Chappell, Zaman Khan and George Scrimshaw have done well for them so far.

Derbyshire vs Northamptonshire Betting Odds
Northamptonshire to hit more fours than Derbyshire
This is as straightforward as a tip that we can provide here. Northamptonshire have scored 16 fours in both their games thusfar this season. They have conceded the exact same number in the games as well. Their opponents, however, have had a different experience in the tournament as far as fours are concerned. After scoring just 11 in the first game against Lancashire, they managed to get 16 in the second game against Nottinghamshire. What is more interesting though is the fact that they cannot stop their opponents from scoring. They conceded 16 against Lancashire but in the second game, that number increased to 21. Based on the data and how the teams are set up, odds of 1.95 are extremely generous and you can very easily double your investment with a punt on this market.
Derbyshire vs Northamptonshire Top Team Batsmen
Leus du Plooy to be Derbyshire's Top Batter
The 28-year-old left-hand batter has scored 2337 runs in 107 T20 matches at an average of 32.01 and a strike rate of 130.55. The 28-year-old has failed to get going in the first two matches but is expected to score high in the upcoming match. The first two matches have seen him score 42 runs at an average of 21 and a strike rate of 161.53.
Chris Lynn to be Northamptonshire's Top Batter
Chris Lynn is a T20 legend in all the rights. Australian has played 254 T20 matches and scored 7100 runs at an average of 32.12 and a strike rate of 143.31. Lynn has managed just 28 runs from the first two matches but a big knock is always round the corner from a batter like him. His strike rate is a whopping 164.70 after two matches.
Derbyshire vs Northamptonshire Top Team Bowlers
Zak Chappell to be Derbyshire's top bowler
The 26-year-old pacer has played 26 T20 matches and picked 30 wickets at an average of 23.00 and an economy rate of 9.05. The first two matches of the T20 Blast 2022 has seen him pick four wickets at an average of 15.50 and an economy rate of 7.75. He is the joint-highest wicket-taker for his team at the moment.
David Willey to be Northamptonshire's top bowler
Experienced David Willey is one of the contenders to pick the highest wickets for Northamptonshire in the upcoming match. Even though he has picked only one wicket from the first two matches, the 33-year-old England international will come across as a major threat for Derbyshire. In 250 T20 matches till date, the left-arm pacer has picked 246 wickets at an average of 23.29 and an economy rate of 7.93.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Derbyshire
Derbyshire are more likely to beat Northamptonshire in their upcoming fixture. Both the teams are yet to win a game this season but Derbyshire have shown better potential than Northamptonshire who lost their last match by 10 wickets.
Derbyshire have posted in excess of 175 in both the matches and have a pace-unit which can be very lethal if they click together. Pakistan's 21-year-old pacer Zaman Khan is also part of the squad. Northamptonshire pacers David Willey and Andrew Tye have failed to find rhythm and that could be a major cause of worry for Northamptonshire against an in-from Derbyshire batting unit.
Also, Chris Lynn and Rob Keogh of Northamptonshire have scored 19 and two runs respectively from the first two matches. The odds are clearly in Derbyshire's favour.
Derbyshire to win @ 1.99 (Melbet)
Northamptonshire to win @ 1.82 (Melbet)
