Vitality Blast 2022 – Lancashire Lightning vs Derbyshire Falcons, match preview, predicted lineups
Lancashire Lightning play Derbyshire Falcons in both of their’s froth game of the competition so far as the season moves ahead. Both teams will be looking for a win here.
Date & Time : 1st June 2022, 1:30 PM (Local)
Venue : Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester
Lancashire Lightning after a terrific start to their 2022 blast campaign and being unbeaten thus far in three games will look to add another win to their kitty. They will have to play their brand of cricket.
Lancashire won their last fixture against The Outlaws by 87 runs after amassing 178/7 in allotted 20 overs and bowling out Notts Outlaws for mere 91. Keaton Jennings and Liam Livingstone starred for them.
Looking at the current team they have their batsman scoring runs and they would want it that way plus the key bowlers too amongst wickets, which is good. If anything they must be aiming for consistency now.
On the other hand, Derbyshire Falcons too have had a good start to their 2022 blast campaign and they would want to carry on. They next play Notts Outlaws in the North Group.
Derby won their last fixture against Yorkshire Vikings by a margin of 9 wickets in a rain-reduced match.
The Shan Masood led side key men have performed and they would want the batsman to be consistent and the bowlers too to be disciplined.

There are no fresh injury concerns for both sides at the moment.
Lancashire Lightning XI : Salt (WK), Jennings, Livingstone, T. David, Vilas (C), Croft, D. Lamb, L. Wood, Hartley, Gleeson, Parkinson.
