Vitality T20 Blast 2023, Lancashire vs Nottinghamshire: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

Lancashire (LAN) will lock horns with Nottinghamshire (NOT) in the 16th match of the Vitality T20 Blast 2023. The Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester is all set to host this encounter on Saturday, May 27.

Lancashire had a perfect start to their campaign as they have won two consecutive games, including an eight wickets victory against Leicestershire in the previous game. They are currently placed comfortably at the top of the north group points table with four points.

Bowling first, Luke Wood and Saqib Mahmood destroyed the batting unit of Leicestershire as they picked up three wickets apiece, and the opponents got bundled for just 99 runs in 18.5 overs. In reply, Steven Croft (46) and Daryl Mitchell (25) remained unbeaten as Lancashire successfully chased down the target with nearly eight overs to spare.

Nottinghamshire, on the other hand, also started their campaign on a high as they secured a four-wicket victory against Derbyshire in their opening fixture of the tournament. The team will be looking to continue their winning momentum in the upcoming games as well.

Bowling first, the bowlers did well to keep the scoring rate in check as they restricted Derbyshire to a below-par total of 178/6 in 20 overs. Chasing 179, Joe Clarke (68 off 29 balls) helped the team get off to a flying start in the powerplay, followed by another blistering cameo from Matthew Montgomery (51 off 29 balls) as they crossed the finish line with three overs to spare.
