LAN vs NOR Match Prediction & Analysis
As Lancashire take on Northants Steelbacks at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester, all eyes will be on the visitors. It is a must-win game for the Steelbacks to make it to the quarter-finals of the T20 Blast 2024.
Northants are coming into this game with two consecutive wins. For the hosts, 3 of their last 5 matches were abandoned due to rain. And they won the remaining two games which were both played at this venue.
Lancashire Lightning will be confident of ending the season on a winning note. They delivered an exceptional all-round performance in their last outing here against the Notts Outlaws.
Northants also bounced back with the ball in their last match as they successfully defended 197 runs against the Bears. It should be a close contest between two in-form teams. There is some quality batting in both sides with the visitors seemingly dependent on their middle-order to win matches.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Lancashire Preview
Lancashire Lightning are looking in great touch at the moment. Their recent win over Nottinghamshire showed the incredible form their players are in.
Luke Wood, Saqib Mahmood, and Liam Livingstone are the key wicket-takers in this side. They are all in great rhythm and will be crucial in this game. Chris Green also enjoys bowling in the powerplay and will be another one to watch out for in this bowling attack.
Wood, Mahmood, and Green can pose a tough challenge to the Northants’ top order. They can put the visitors on the back foot with a few early wickets.
It will be up to the right-arm legbreak bowlers Luke Wells and Liam Livingstone to get the crucial wickets of Saif Zaib and Ravi Bopara in the middle overs.
Lancs need to gear themselves up for the death overs as the opposition has in-form finishers in their lineup. The hosts are packing a strong punch in the batting themselves.
They’ve got Phil Salt and Luke Wells opening the innings followed by Liam Livingstone and skipper Keaton Jennings at 3 and 4. While there is plenty of firepower in the top 4, Lancashire also features some reliable batters lower down the order.
There are the likes of George Dockrell, Matthew Hurst, George Lavelle, and Tom Bruce who can be the potential match-finishers in the lower order.
Lancashire Predicted Playing XI:
Philip Salt (wk), Luke Wells, Liam Livingstone, Keaton Jennings (c), Matthew Hurst, George Dockrell, Steven Croft, Chris Green, Tom Hartley, Luke Wood, Saqib Mahmood

Northamptonshire Preview
Northants Steelbacks expect their top-order to bounce back in this all-important game. Ricardo Vasconcelos and Matthew Breetzke have been quite underwhelming lately.
The two openers need to deliver a big start in this match. A lot depends on David Willey, Saif Zaib, and Ravi Bopara in the middle-order. These 3 have consistently scored runs for the side.
In the lower order, Lewis McManus can hit the long ball. He can deliver a few big ones at the death to ensure a big finish for the Steelbacks. It looks like a solid overall lineup but needs consistency.
The partnerships at the top will be crucial for a competitive total on this ground. They will be up against some of the toughest bowling attacks in this tournament.
In the bowling department, David Willey hasn’t got many impressive options in the side. Apart from himself, only Bopara can deliver crucial breakthroughs while keeping a tight economy.
Ben Sanderson, Jack White, and Ashton Agar haven’t been consistent thus far. Their performances will be key to a win for Northamptonshire in this match.
Northamptonshire Predicted Playing XI:
Ricardo Vasconcelos, Matthew Breetzke, David Willey (c), Ravi Bopara, Saif Zaib, Ashton Agar, Lewis McManus (wk), Gus Miller, Ben Sanderson, Freddie Heldreich, Jack White

Spin Bowling
It is a balanced wicket that offers something for everyone. There are plenty of runs to be scored on this pitch. The hosts hold the record for the highest total at this venue (231/4). Though the average 1st innings score on this ground is 163 runs, we reckon, a match-winning total should be around 185-195 runs.
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first have won 36 of the 64 matches played at this venue. Though the last match here saw the team batting second win, it was clear that the wicket favored batters as the hosts chased down the target in just 14.3 Overs. Batting first and having runs on the board will be a great choice on this ground.
LAN vs NOR
Winning Prediction
Both teams are in great touch and should be confident of a win here. However, the hosts will start with a slight edge over the Northants given their overall team balance and current form. The visitors haven’t got many in-form bowlers and are dependent on a couple of batters to score big. As a result, Lancashire Lightning will start as favorites in our match prediction.
