Lancashire vs Derbyshire match preview

Lancashire had a  brilliant T20 Blast campaign last year as they qualified for the playoffs after finishing second in the group stage with five wins, two losses and two no results from 10 games. However, their tournament was ended after they were defeated by eventual champions Nottinghamshire in the semi-final. Lancashire will look to make amends by going a step further and lifting the trophy this year and winning the tournament opener will be a great way to kick-off their T20 Blast 2021 campaign.

On the contrary, Derbyshire had an abysmal tournament last year. Placed in the North Group, Derbyshire finished last in the points table with just one win from 10 games. They lost seven matches whereas two ended in no result. Alex Hughes' men will look to put behind the dismal campaign and start the T20 Blast 2021 on a high by beating Lancashire. Both sides are filled with some talented players which is why fans are in for an exciting contest.
