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

Nottinghamshire will be up against Lancashire in the 26th match of the T20 Blast 2022 on Tuesday (May 31) at Trent Bridge, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom.   

Lancashire have been impressive in the T20 Blast with a couple of solid performances in their opening fixtures. Positioned at third in the North Group points table, Lancashire will head into this match with a 12-run win over Worcestershire. 

Batting first, Lancashire put up a decent total of 183/7 courtesy of a marvellous 25-ball 60 from their star overseas batter Tim David. Richard Gleeson, however, was the true architect of the game for the Red Rose club as he ran through the opposition batting line-up to restrict Worcestershire to a score of 171. 

On the other hand, Nottinghamshire started their campaign with a thumping 4-wicket win over Worcestershire. However, their next match against Northamptonshire was abandoned due to rain, and both the teams shared one point each. With 3 points to their credit, Notts are placed second in the North Group points table. 

With two crucial points up for grab and some best T20 players taking the field in the quickest format of the game, we are in for another mouth-watering clash in the English T20 Blast.
