TEAMS PREVIEW
Derbyshire Preview
Derbyshire Falcons finally got their first points on the table after losing five games in a row with a 46-run win over Nottinghamshire. The Falcons desperately needed that win and would be keen to carry that momentum forward in the second half of the tournament.
Ross Whiteley has been their best batter so far, scoring 181 runs in six matches at an average of 45.25 and a strike rate of 149.58.
Wayne Madsen (140 runs in six innings) and Aneurin Donald (139 runs in six matches) have been steady contributors as well. Caleb Jewell has chipped in with some handy cameos, but he’s much better than that and the team would be hoping the opener gets a big one in this match.
The bowling unit has been led by AM Ghazanfar, who has pocketed nine wickets in six innings at an economy of 7.21. He has been ably ed by Fynn Hudson-Prentice and Samit Patel, who have five wickets apiece. Other than that, however, the bowling attack has been lacklustre, something the Falcons would need to address going ahead.
Derbyshire Predicted Playing XI:
Caleb Jewell, Aneurin Donald, Martin Andersson, Samit Patel (c), Wayne Madsen, Brooke Guest (wk), Ross Whiteley, Fynn Hudson-Prentice, Ben Aitchison, AM Ghazanfar, Patrick Brown

Leicestershire Preview
Leicestershire Foxes had a flying start to their campaign with three wins in their first four games, but were taken down by 106 runs against Yorkshire in their latest outing, a result which slipped them to fifth place on the table. Hopefully, they would brush it off as an off day and regroup quickly.
Captain Louis Kimber has led the show with the bat, collecting 109 runs in five matches at an average of 21.80 and a strike rate of 168.
Logan van Beek, Rishi Patel, and Soloman Budinger have had an impact as well, each scoring over 80 runs so far, but the team would expect a lot more from them, especially Patel and Budinger.
As for the bowling, Van Beek has done the heavy lifting there too, grabbing nine wickets at an economy of 9.40. Roman Walker and Liam Trevaskis have chipped in as well, with Trevaskis being really economical at 6.62 an over.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Scoring at Edgbaston can pick up fast once batters settle, especially square of the wicket, where boundaries are shorter. The surface usually has good pace and carry, which keeps both batters and seamers interested. Early movement with the new ball can trouble openers, but conditions often flatten out quickly. Spinners don’t get much turn but can control the middle overs with tight lines. Teams chasing have had better success, especially under lights.
The weather forecast shows conditions will be cloudy with a chance of light showers during the afternoon, which could lead to a stop-start game. But we should still get a full match.

Winning Prediction
Derbyshire Falcons have had the worst possible start to their campaign, but would be feeling a little hopeful with that win in their last game. Leicestershire Foxes, meanwhile, have been steady, despite that loss in the previous fixture. Leicestershire have already beaten Derbyshire once this season and look balanced enough to repeat the result. Derbyshire can’t be counted out, of course, but current form tilts the scales in Leicestershire’s favour.
We are backing Leicestershire as the winners of this clash.
