Bears vs Lancashire Lightning prediction

Lancashire Lightning have been excellent upon their return to T20 action despite a punishing schedule. Back-to-back wins in less than 24 hours is testament to their quality and after a much-needed couple of days off, the North Group leaders now make the trip to Birmingham and face the fourth-placed Bears.

Bears bat as deep as Lancashire, but it’s questionable whether their bowling will be able to contain the likes of Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone and Phil Salt. Such quality cannot be ignored and makes the Red Rose worth backing to pick up the points in what should prove an entertaining encounter.
