Leicestershire will play against Derbyshire in the 31st match of the Vitality T20 Blast 2023 on Thursday, June 1 at Grace Road in Leicester. Leicestershire didn’t have the best start to the competition. They have played three matches so far and they are yet to win a single game. They lost to Worcestershire in their last outing and will hope to turn the tables this time. Naseem Shah and Wiaan Mulder claimed two wickets each as Leicestershire restricted Worcestershire to 183/7. In reply, Rishi Patel top-scored with 42 but losing wickets at regular intervals cost them the win and they lost by 33 runs. And, they will be looking for their first win on Thursday.
On the other hand, Derbyshire, are also struggling in the Vitality T20 Blast 2023. They have played three games so far and lost all the games too, with their recent loss coming against Northamptonshire in Derby as well. Wayne Madsen (57) and Brooke Guest (49) did well with the bat as Derbyshire finished their innings on 151/6. The bowlers could pick up four wickets as they failed to defend the total. However, Derbyshire need to do well against Leicestershire to register their first win in the competition.
The tournament won’t be seen on television. However, it will be live-streamed on FanCode.
