T20 Blast 2022 | NOT vs DER | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Nottinghamshire Outlaws will square off against Derbyshire Falcons in Match 99 of T20 Blast 2022 on June 23 (Thursday) at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.

Outlaws have secured only three victories in 10 league games and are placed seventh in the points table. In their last outing, they conceded 170, while the trio of Patel, Fletcher, and Mullaney picked up three wickets each. Alex Hales was the only notable contributor with 55 off 43 balls, and the failure of the rest of the batters paved the way for the team to lose by 47 runs.

In this game, they are expected to trust the same XI to make a turnaround and get them back on track to remain in the hunt for the quarter's spot. The contribution of Joe Clarke and Patel will be the key for Notts to have a balance in their performances. 

On the other hand, the Falcons have been impressive in securing seven wins in 11 appearances and are positioned second in the North Group points table. In the last game, their bowling performance was ordinary, giving away 186, with George Scrimshaw picking up two wickets. 

Then, the knocks from Wayne Madsen (73) and Shan Masood (57) helped them secure a sensational victory and will be upbeat ahead of this fixture. The team management is not likely to tinker with the winning combination that has won their last five matches.
