With only two points covering Yorkshire Vikings in seventh and Northampton Steelbacks in third, there is still plenty left to play for in the North Group as we move towards the knockout stage.
Birmingham Bears are clear at the top with Notts Outlaws and Worcestershire Rapids marooned at the bottom but everyone else has plenty left to play for!
Northamptonshire Steelbacks had won three of the previous for head to heads before these sides met in mid-June and produced a game for the ages as it ended in a tie.
This promises to be another tight clash on Friday evening.

Since beating Yorkshire Vikings by 20 runs on June 16th, it has been quite a miserable four games for Leicestershire Foxes. Firstly, they tied with today's opponents Northamptonshire Steelbacks before getting a no-result against bottom of the table Notts Outlaws. Since then, they have been beaten by Derbyshire Falcons by four wickets and by Worcestershire Rapids by 16 runs.
It's not all negative though for Pete Handscomb's men who saw half-centuries from the man of the moment Louis Kimber and keeper-batter Ben Cox against the Rapids.
With the ball, Scott Currie and Lewis Goldsworthy both come into this match after taking two-wicket hauls in their last match.

The Steelbacks welcomed Durham to Northampton in their last game and got off to a brilliant start as they dismissed all of their top three for ducks! However, 1/0, 2/0 amd 3/4 eventually became 140 all out and the Steelbacks got home with only two balls remaining of their chase.
In Ben Sanderson and David Willey, Northamptonshire have an excellent and accurate opening bowling pair, not to mention left-arm wrist spinner Freddie Heldreich who comes into this game after taking a three wicket haul in both of his last two T20 appearances.
With the bat, the top four of Ricardo Vasconcelos, Matthew Breetzke, David Willey and Ravi Bopara always has the potential to blow away an opposition bowling attack.

We are not expecting any rain on Friday evening in Northampton but the forecast is for very heavy cloud cover and high humidity from start to finish. The temperature will be between 14 - 16 degrees.

This pitch in Northampton has delivered a good contest between bat and ball throughout the 2024 season so far. But with the overhead conditions on Friday, whoever bats first will feel they are in the game if they are able to post over 150.
The conditions are likely to favour bowlers on Friday evening in Northampton so we predict that both captains will come out to the middle for the toss with the intention of bowling first and putting the opposition under immediate pressure.
The teams have similar records so far this season but it is Northamptonshire Steelbacks who are higher in the table and with more wins on the board. They have more consistent performers and the Steelbacks are our tip to get the victory on Friday.
