THE LOWDOWN
A 42-run victory against the Derbyshire Falcons means it is now back-to-back wins for Leicestershire Foxes which has ended a run of five without a win to kick off their season. The wickets are being shared between Callum Parkinson, Naveen-ul-Haq, Colin Ackermann and Gavin Griffiths with heavy runs being scored by their opening partnership of Scott Steel and Australian overseas keeper Josh Inglis. They come up against a star-studded Yorkshire side that have lost several players due to international duty but they still come into this on the back of a relatively comfortable victory against Worcestershire. That win means they have won five and lost one of their opening seven games.
THE PREDICTION
The Foxes come into this in good form in recent times but those two victories came against the two weakest sides in the entire competition so far in Derbyshire and Northamptonshire. So, despite those wins, Yorkshire will come into this as favourites as they look to move to the top of the northern table with just six matches to go and two Roses clashes in those six.
