Northamptonshire Steelbacks vs Leicestershire Foxes prediction

Leicestershire Foxes’ bowling unit could be in for some punishment here against a Northamptonshire Steelbacks top order in ominous form. Their entire top five recorded 25 runs or more against Yorkshire last time out, a positive sign moving forward that each of them are capable of a big score at any point, underlining Northants’ strength-in-depth.

It will be tough for the Foxes to compete with that. Although they were impressive in a five-wicket win over Derbyshire Falcons last time out, the Steelbacks represent stronger opposition on paper. The hosts’ firepower on a batter-friendly ground may well prove the catalyst for a second Northamptonshire victory here.
