Lancashire vs Derbyshire Chance of Winning

Both teams need a strong finish to the season to secure a playoff spot. With no runaway leaders in the North Group, the top six teams are separated by just three points which makes the remaining fixtures pivotal for each team. As per our estimation, Lancashire are runaway favourites heading into this game and should get the job done at home turf. Regardless of what the numbers say, we believe Derbyshire are capable of pulling a rabbit from the hat which makes this a very intriguing encounter.

Lancashire vs Derbyshire Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Derbyshire has won the last three of the four games thus far. One of the main reasons for their change in fortune has been the form of their opening batters. Derbyshire has constituted an opening partnership of 95, 44, 52 and 21 in those games and have conceded 34, 41, 44 and 0. On the other hand, Lancashire openers have failed to provide a good start in each of the last three games, scoring 10, 0 and 6. Looking at the underlined stat, we believe Derbyshire would have a better opening stand than their opponents in the upcoming game.

Lancashire vs Derbyshire Betting Odds

Derbyshire to score more than Lancashire in the powerplay

Derbyshire have been efficient in the powerplay this campaign, only once in the last eight games they have conceded more than 50 runs in the first six overs. After defeats in the first two games of the tournament, Derbyshire have averaged 47.87 runs in the powerplay and have conceded 43.25 in those games. What's more enticing is the fact that in the last three of the four games they have outscored their opponent. On the other hand, Lancashire have been outplayed in the powerplay overs, in the last eight fixtures opponents have outscored them in the first six overs. We believe this is a great opportunity to encash on this lucrative betting tip.

Lancashire vs Derbyshire Top Team Batters

Jos Buttler to be Lancashire’s top batter

Jos Buttler with two half centuries in the last four games have hit the ground running after an underwhelming start to the campaign. Its was a close call between Buttler and Darryl Mitchell but Buttler’s 74 off 54 balls in the last game makes him our top pick for the game

Haider Ali to be Derbyshire’s top batter

Haider Ali has been the most consistent batter for Derbyshire in the last few games which makes him the most in-form batsman for Derbyshire as they head into the final stages of the campaign. Ali’s score of 32, 74, 48, 42, 26* and 59 in the last six games makes him our top pick for the game

Lancashire vs Derbyshire Top Team Bowlers

Luke Wood to be Lancashire’s top bowler

We have no reason to change our pick from the last game. Wood was once again sensational in the loss against Worcestershire as he ended up with 1/18 in three overs. Wood was the only bowler in the game for Lancashire who had an economy of six and looked dangerous every time he had the ball in his hand. He is without shadow of the doubt the best bowler for Lancashire in this tournament and our top pick for the game

Zak Chappell to be Derbyshire’s top bowler

Zak Chappell is arguably one of the best bowlers in T20 Blast thus far, with 20 wickets so far in the tournament he is ranked third in the leaderboard and is the top wicket taker for Derbyshire in the tournament. Chappell’s spell of 2/33 in the reverse fixture makes him our top pick for the game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Lancashire

Derbyshire, who only managed three wins in first eight games have given themself a fighting chance to make the knockouts this season. In the last three games, Derbyshire have taken five points which includes back to back wins in the last two games against Yorkshire and Northamptonshire. Their change in fortune in the last few games have left them a point shy of top four. In the last game, Falcon’s skipper Leus du Plooy led from the front with a crucial unbeaten 40 off 23 balls as his side managed to chase down 156 and won the game with six wickets to spare.

Lancashire surrendered their three games winning streak as Worcestershire outclassed the last year’s runner-up and won the game by seven wickets. With just three games remaining in the season, Lancashire need a strong response otherwise the season might just slip away in the blink of an eye. With six wins in last seven games against Derbyshire, bookmakers consider Lancashire clear favourites heading into this game and have backed them with lucrative odds of 1.45. With the odds of 2.65, Derbyshire are coined as underdogs in the game. Looking at the head to head record, we reckon it makes sense to side with the bookies on this one as it's highly unlikely we see anything other than Lancashire win at Old trafford come June 23.

• Lancashire to win @ 1.45 (Parimatch)
• Derbyshire to win @ 2.65 (Parimatch)
