LAN vs DER: Lancashire will lock horns with Derbyshire at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester in a group stage match of the T20 Blast 2021.
Lancashire Lightning finished as semi-finalists in the previous edition of the league. Their batting has been bolstered with the addition of Jos Buttler and overseas player Finn Allen. They will look to get the best out of Buttler as he’ll be available for the first six matches only this season.
The Lightning will miss the services of Saqib Mahmood, who is out due to abdominal strain. The coaching staff and fans will hope to see him back in the squad in the coming days.
Derbyshire go into this game with a strong squad as the previous season. They are continuing with the same squad they had last season, with hardly any new additions. Their new signing Harry Came, who recently signed a contract with the club until 2023 will travel to Manchester for the club’s season opener.
