LAN vs LEI Match Prediction & Analysis
It is always an enjoyable and competitive fixture when Lancashire and Leicestershire meet in the T20 Blast and it was Leicestershire who won by five wickets with nine balls remaining when they met in June last year.
Rehan Ahmed was the star for Leicestershire, taking 3/16 before hitting 27 runs from 23 balls as Louis Kimber (40 runs from 22 balls) and Ben Cox (38 not out from 38 balls) took the team to victory at Old Trafford.
So far this season it has been a different story though with Leicestershire already recording defeats against Worcestershire, Durham and most recently against Derbyshire.
As for Lancashire, they were beaten at The Oval in their opener but bounced back with a convincing win over Notts.
Can Leicestershire finally get going in this year's campaign?

TEAMS PREVIEW
Lancashire Preview
Lancashire put the memories of their defeat against Surrey to the back of their minds as big runs from skipper Keaton Jennings, keeper-batter Matty Hurst and Australian Ben McDermott set them on their way to an imposing total of 208/4 against Nottinghamshire on Bank Holiday Monday in front of the Manchester crowd.
Not only did the above trio score significant totals of 50+, they each did so with a strike-rate of over 142.50 although it was McDermott who really shone with a strike-rate of 233.33!
With the ball, Lancashire are well stocked with options and left-arm spinner Tom Hartley did the majority of the damage, taking 4/20 while Chris Green, Saqib Mahmood and George Balderson all have fine records in this format.
Lancashire Predicted Playing XI:
Keaton Jennings (c), Michael Jones, Matty Hurst (wk), Ben McDermott, Joseph Moores, Chris Green, Harry Singh, George Balderson, Jack Blatherwick, Tom Hartley, Saqib Mahmood

Leicestershire Preview
Chasing 231 to beat Derbyshire on Wednesday evening in Leicester, Leicestershire came up way too short, and were bowled out for 145 to make it a miserable start to this year's Men's Vitality Blast.
The bowling attack could only muster five wickets with Ian Holland leading the way with figures of 2/35 from his four overs while Ben Mike and Josh Hull must both find a way to not only dismiss batters but also reduce their economy rates!
With the bat, Stephen Eskinazi has had a poor start to this campaign but is a very talented white ball batter.
Ashton Turner and keeper-batter Ben Cox come into this game in strong form after hitting a combined 87 runs on Wednesday.
Leicestershire Predicted Playing XI:
Stephen Eskinazi, Rishi Patel, Nick Kelly, Ashton Turner, Ben Cox (wk), Ben Green (c), Liam Trevaskis, Ben Mike, Ian Holland, Josh Hull, Alex Green

Old Trafford remains one of the quickest and bounciest wickets in England. Expect a par score to be over 200 in the first innings of this match on Friday evening.
Toss: To Bat
Both teams will want to bat first in this game and look to run the game from a strong first innings total. Therefore, we predict both skippers will choose to bat first.

Winning Prediction
Although Lancashire have not been perfect so far this season, they have been far stronger than Leicestershire who have been woeful. Our prediction is for another home victory.
