It really is now or never for both teams who must win this game to give themselves a chance of sneaking into the top four. There is a very slim chance that a no-result could see them both get into the top four but with sunshine covering the country at the moment, we are not expecting that outcome to be realistic.
Instead, both sides need to go all out for victory whilst hoping that other teams above them drop points to give them an opportunity to move into the knockout places.
Whoever wins, has a chance. Whoever loses, is out of the tournament.

After an abandonment and a defeat had seen Derbyshire Falcons look like they were heading out of the top four places, their five wicket win over Worcestershire Rapids has kept the dream alive!
With the bat, Wayne Madsen and Ross Whiteley both come into this match after hitting scores of 40+ in the last match although it was opener Aneurin Donald with 28 runs from 12 balls who showed the most attacking intent against the Rapids.
With the ball, Zak Chappell and Pat Brown both have strong T20 Blast records and have been in good form. Alongside them, Mohammad Amir is one of the great T20 pace bowlers and could always win a game single-handedly.

It was an eight over shoot out which Durham came out on the wrong side of against Northamptonshire Steelbacks last Sunday and that result may ultimately cost them a place in the top four. The Steelbacks are now in third place but it Durham had won that game then it would have been themselves coming into this final group stage game in the top three.
Australian Ashton Turner and Netherlands' international Colin Ackermann were the best batters in the last game but Graham Clark at the top of the order and Michael Jones are both capable of going big.
With the ball, there is variety and there is plenty of pressure on Ben Dwarshuis to deliver.

It will be a lovely evening in Derby on Friday with the temperature likely to be over 25 degrees for the majority of the evening and very few clouds in the skies to cool the players down.
The pitch will offer something for the bowlers in Derby but overall it is a good batting wicket with the ball coming on at good pace and with bounce which can be relied upon.
We predict that both teams will want to bowl first. This will give them the opportunity to target a specific time in the chase to complete it and if necessary bring net-run-rate into the equation for the top four places.
Although a win may not be enough to book a place in the top four, we expect both sides to look to dominate the other from the first ball of this match. It is Derbyshire Falcons who have been in the better form of late and we are predicting a home victory.
