Nottinghamshire Outlaws v Lancashire Lightning – Match Preview

The Outlaws have won two of their last three completed T20 Blast fixtures against the Lightning. But this slight head-to-head advantage doesn’t have them as favourites for this match.

Nottinghamshire played in the T20 Blast Finals Day as recently as 2017, so have that experience to go on. Lancashire were last there in 2015.

Where: Edgbaston, Birmingham

When: Saturday, 3 October 2020

Start time: 19:00 IST (13:30 GMT)

Pitch conditions: It’s likely the captain to win the toss here will bat first and then look to defend a total later. If there is wet weather about, the ball could be tough to grip through both innings. The pressure of chasing a total in a big semi final could toll.

Weather conditions: The weather in Birmingham on Saturday is looking very wet. That doesn’t bode well for a full fixture. There is a reserve day scheduled for Sunday, but that also has a forecast of showers. Hopefully, at some stage, we get a result here.

Nottinghamshire Outlaws v Lancashire Lightning – Team News

It’ll be interesting to see if Nottinghamshire open the bowling with two spinners again, as they did with Imad Wasim and Samit Patel in the quarter final.

Batting-wise, they have the experience of England international Alex Hales to rely on. He’s played domestic T20 cricket around the world and knows how to rise to the occasion of a pressurised semi final.

For Lancashire, they’ll be glad to have Keaton Jennings back in the top order after recovering from injury.

They have two in-form leg-spinners at their disposal. Liam Livingstone and Matthew Parkinson shared seven wickets in the quarter final.

Nottinghamshire Outlaws v Lancashire Lightning – Betting Tips and Prediction

Here are more helpful match predictions based on the generous odds on the best cricket betting sites in India. Our team of experts have followed the tournament and compiled these cricket tips.

Bet on the Outlaws to Lose Their First Wicket Before the 24th Run

Nottinghamshire will probably open the batting with Alex Hales and Chris Nash. The latter hasn’t been in good form.

It’s possible he will fall first, as the Outlaws struggle to navigate the opening powerplay. 1xBet’s price of the Outlaws to lose their first wicket for under 2.35 runs is a good pick.

Back Lancashire to Have the Highest Opening Partnership

Liam Livingstone and Alex Davies are a formidable pick at the top of the Lightning order. They might even slot Keaton Jennings to open with Livingstone or Davies.

Regardless of the combination, Lancashire are looking good at 2.0 to have the highest opening partnership of the match with 22Bet.

Pick LBW to Be the First Method of Dismissal

For the first semi final, we like bowled as the first method of dismissal. Here, though, the odds are higher and the outcome as likely.

Both teams have a few wicket-to-wicket bowlers, with straighter lines able to induce early lbws. Back this market at 6.5 with 10CRIC.
