LEI vs DER Match Prediction & Analysis
Derbyshire can significantly improve their hopes of advancing into the quarter-finals with a victory against Leicestershire that has become customary in recent years. Derbyshire have picked up five consecutive wins against this opponent. One has to head back to 2021 to witness a recent success for Leicestershire in this Derby fixture. Yet, the hosts cannot expect them to continue even further and still qualify for the quarter-finals comfortably. After witnessing a lot of wins in the last two Vitality Blast encounters, Leicestershire are highly motivated to pick up points.
Derbyshire sit outside the top four positions but they can still make a significant jump into the right spots with wins in the three rounds. Derbyshire are up against Leicestershire and Yorkshire in a quick turnaround.
The Grace Road in Leicester will host the event. Both teams will feature interesting changes to the squad owing to injuries and player unavailability.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Leicestershire Preview
Leicestershire are third in the standings after eight matches following their game against Notts ended without any result. This result comes after a tie against Northants just a few days ago. For now, Leicestershire are in a comfortable position courtesy of the positive Net Run Rate (NRR) – even if they are level on points with Northants and Durham.
The squad has several key changes coming into the match. The club has brought Paul Stirling on a short-term contract to tide over the absence of Peter Handscomb due to an injury. Similarly, the departure of Wiaan Mulder to Major League Cricket is likely to present a great opportunity for James Neesham, who has just signed up for the squad.
The return of Tom Scriven from the treatment table is also a big boost for Leicester City, who were able to hit a staggering 208 in the match against Northamptonshire.
Rishi Patel is the top scorer in the Leicestershire squad with 385 runs at an average of 48.12. He is just 10 runs behind the 2024 Vitality Blast top scorer – Sam Hain. Scott Currie, meanwhile, leads the bowler’s chart with 14 wickets from his eight innings.
Leicestershire Predicted Playing XI:
Rishi Patel, Sol Budinger, Paul Stirling, Louis Kimber, James Neesham, Ben Mike, Ben Cox, Roman Walker, Lewis Goldsworthy, Scott Currie, Josh Hull

Derbyshire Preview
Derbyshire will be hoping to make a significant impact in the race to finish in the quarter-final positions. The team has so far picked up only six points from the matches. However, a victory in the game could change their qualification expectations with fourth-placed Northants just three points away. Derbyshire are looking to overturn a two-game losing sequence that has significantly hurt their qualification hopes.
There are some interesting changes in the squad for the games against Leicestershire and Yorkshire. Mohammad Amir is brought into the squad and he could make his debut in the game. The left-arm seamer will add crucial experience and quality to the bowling line-up.
Pat Brown has been the top bowler for Derbyshire with 15 wickets from his eight innings. He is just four away from being the top wicket-taker for the 2024 campaign. Zak Chappell comes a distant second in the squad with 10 wickets.
David Lloyd reigns supreme as the most run scorer after grabbing 215 from his eight innings. However, he has hit only one half-century so far in 2024.
Derbyshire Predicted Playing XI:
David Lloyd, Aneurin Donald, Cam Fletcher, Zak Chappell, Wayne Madsen, Ross Whiteley, Samit Patel (c), Brooke Guest, Mohammad Amir, Pat Brown, Daryn Dupavillon

LEI vs DER
Winning Prediction
Leicestershire are coming on the back of two consecutive games without a victory. They have also suffered five consecutive losses against Derbyshire. Even though form goes the window in this derby, it will be a very difficult game for the visiting opposition. Leicestershire are incredibly motivated and they have replaced injured stars suitably with short-term deals.
Our prediction is for Leicestershire to win
