On Thursday, June 1, the 31st game of the Vitality T20 Blast 2023 will pit Leicestershire against Derbyshire. This North Group match will take place at The Grace Road in Leicester.
The competition hasn’t started off well for Leicestershire. They’ve played three games so far without picking up a single victory. They suffered a loss to Worcestershire in their previous game and are hoping to immediately reverse the situation.
Leicestershire constrained Worcestershire to 183/7 thanks to the two wickets taken by Naseem Shah and Wiaan Mulder, respectively. Rishi Patel led the way with 42 runs in the reply, but they finished 33 runs short due to constant wicket losses. On Thursday, they’ll aim for their first victory.

However, Derbyshire is also having trouble in the Vitality T20 Blast 2023. They have currently played three games and have lost all three, most recently to Northamptonshire in Derby.
Derbyshire concluded their innings on 151/6, with Wayne Madsen (57) and Brooke Guest (49) contributing with the bat. The bowlers only took four wickets while failing to defend the total. Derbyshire must fire in harmony against Leicestershire if they are to win their first game of the season.
