T20 Blast 2022 | NOR vs LAN | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Northamptonshire and Lancashire are all set to lock horns against each other in Match 75 of the Vitality T20 Blast 2022. Both teams are placed at the top of the North Group points table and are just a couple of points away from booking a spot in the quarterfinals. Lancashire are currently placed at the helm of the North Group, with six wins from eight games.

Lancashire have faced just a solitary defeat so far, and have collected 13 points in a dream start to their campaign. 

Meanwhile, Northamptonshire have claimed five wins from eight games, and they sit second on the points tally. The hosts could potentially move to the top of the table if they defeat their opponents by a comfortable margin.

Northamptonshire are the team in form at the moment, having claimed three back-to-back wins in the T20 Blast. Not only have they collected maximum points from the last couple of games, but they have also managed to dominate their opponents in style. They claimed a massive 73-run victory over Worcestershire in their last encounter, which boosted their net run rate.

Lancashire faced a rare defeat in their last fixture, which was also their first defeat of the campaign. Durham handed them a narrow two-wicket loss in a low-scoring encounter. Despite the setback, the visitors should be confident enough to return to winning ways on Friday evening.
