LAN vs LEI: Leicestershire will get their T20 Blast campaign underway as Lancashire welcome at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester.
Leicestershire is by far the most successful side in the history of the competition with three titles to their name. They’d be looking to continue their dominance after their disappointing loss against Nottinghamshire in last year’s quarter-final. Skipper Colin Ackermann will join forces with overseas stars Josh Inglis and Naveen-ul-Haq who will play a pivotal role in the outcome of their season opener.
After being knocked out in the semi-final last season by Nottinghamshire, Lancashire is walking into this match after defeating Derbyshire in their season opener. Thanks to Liam Livingstone’s unbeaten 94. He, along with Finn Allen, Dane Villas, Alex Davies and Jos Buttler form the team’s top order.
