LEI vs NOT Match Prediction & Analysis
After coming up from division two in September, Leicestershire are still yet to pick up their first victory this season although they filled their boots from a batting perspective in Cardiff against Glamorgan.
Hosting Nottinghamshire will be an interesting experience for Leicestershire, a local rival, and a team who seem to have plenty of players with something to prove this season.
Leicestershire produced a 146 run first innings lead in Cardiff but were unable to push the advantage into a victory. They need more with the ball in this game.
As for Nottinghamshire, two draws combined with a 192 run win make them in strong form ahead of this match.

With the bat, the top order of Rishi Patel, Jake Weatherald and Ian Holland all come into this match in fantastic form - making a combined 250 runs in Leicestershire's opening innings.
Stephen Eskinazi is another player in strong form with the bat and along with Jonathan Tattersall will be key to producing runs down the order for Leicestershire.
