Lancashire will play against Nottinghamshire in the 16th match of the Vitality T20 Blast 2023 at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester on Saturday, May 27. Lancashire had a good start to their campaign as they have won two consecutive matches, including an eight wickets win against Leicestershire in the previous match as well. They are currently placed comfortably at the top of the north group points table with four points in their name as well. Bowling first, Luke Wood and Saqib Mahmood dismantled the batting unit of Leicestershire as they claimed three wickets apiece, and the opponents got bundled for just 99 runs in 18.5 overs as well. In reply, Steven Croft (46) and Daryl Mitchell (25) remained unbeaten as Lancashire successfully chased down the total with nearly eight overs in hand.
On the other hand, Nottinghamshire also started their campaign on a high note as they secured a four-wicket victory against Derbyshire in their first fixture of the tournament. The team will be looking to continue their winning momentum in the upcoming matches as well. Bowling first, the bowlers did quite well to keep the pressure on as they restricted Derbyshire to a total of 178/6 in 20 overs as well. Chasing 179, Joe Clarke (68 off 29 balls) helped the side get off to a flying start in the powerplay, followed by another great cameo from Matthew Montgomery (51 off 29 balls) as they crossed the finish line with three overs in hand.
The tournament won’t be seen on television. However, it will be live-streamed on FanCode.
