Leicestershire Foxes vs Derbyshire Falcons prediction

Batter Shan Masood makes his debut for Leicestershire Foxes against former club Derbyshire Falcons. The Pakistan international will be key to the success of Leicestershire under Louis Kimber, the Foxes’ new T20 captain. Rishi Patel is capable of big runs opening the batting for the hosts, whilst Logan van Beek provides a reliable strike option with the ball.

Derbyshire Falcons look a smarter T20 unit with plenty of strength of depth and veteran performers at their disposal. Nobody typifies this more than all-rounder Samit Patel, the Falcons’ skipper who can rely upon the likes of batter Wayne Madsen for runs. Ross Whiteley and Martin Andersson are both reliable Blast players and Caleb Jewell provides some overseas stardust. The smart move would be backing them to get the better of Leicestershire on the road.
