Nottinghamshire will face the table-toppers in their last match of the league stage in the T20 Blast 2025. The last time these two teams went head-to-head, Lancs beat the Outlaws by 47 runs in Manchester.
The table-toppers have many star players in their batting lineup. With Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, and Ashton Turner in the top 4, Lancashire can pile up a big score on a batting-friendly pitch at Trent Bridge.
Nottinghamshire have won their last two outings here, chasing down 157 and 189 runs. They were exceptional with the ball against Durham, bowling them out for 156 runs. However, the bowlers have been inconsistent lately.
Lancashire, on the other hand, look threatening with the ball as James Anderson, Chris Green, and Luke Wood continue to deliver consistent breakthroughs for the side.
It should be a great contest between two quality sides, one of which is struggling with form despite having many capable players in every department.

Notts Outlaws will back themselves to get on top of the game at their home venue, where they’ve been unbeaten in the last two outings. They were impressive with the bat and ball in these matches. There is a great variety in the bowling attack.
Nevertheless, the inconsistencies in the performances will be a major concern coming into this match. They picked up 2 wickets, conceding 188 runs, bowling first against Leicestershire on this ground.
In the very next game, they bounced back as they bowled out Durham for 156 runs at the same venue. However, in their last match, they conceded over 200 runs, bowling first in an away game in Worcester.
Dillon Pennington, Olly Stone, and Daniel Sams need to step up and deliver breakthroughs at crucial moments in the game. They also have Liam Patterson-White and Matthew Montgomery, a middle-order batsman who bowls right-arm offbreak.
Skipper Joe Clarke has looked promising at the top and will be a key batsman for Nottinghamshire in this match. While his opening partner Freddie McCann hasn’t been in the best of form, Jack Haynes and Moises Henriques are promising players at 3 and 4.
There is depth in the batting order with Tom Moores, Daniel Sams, and Matthew Montgomery coming in at 5 through 7. Sams is known for his big-hitting abilities and can be a great finisher. Despite a lack of form, the hosts can spring a surprise and dominate the opposition, considering their squad strength.

Lancashire Lightning have won 9 of their 13 T20 Blast matches this season. They will be looking to finish at the top and make it 10 wins from 14 matches as they face Notts Outlaws for the second time this season.
James Anderson and Luke Wood will be key players to watch out for. The two have been consistent with wickets and will play a crucial role on a pitch that has plenty for the batters.
Lancs need to find early wickets, especially those of Joe Clarke and Jack Haynes, to get themselves in the game. Chris Green has looked exceptional in recent outings. He’s picked 10 wickets in the last 3 matches.
In the batting department, skipper Keaton Jennings opens the innings along with Phil Salt. The two are a solid duo and can deliver an attacking start for the Lancs.
With Jos Buttler and Ashton Turner in the middle, Lancashire Lightning only get stronger in the batting lineup. While the experienced batsman Luke Wells hasn’t looked in great form lately, he is a great batting option lower down the order.
Wicket-keeper batsman Jack Hurst and all-rounder Chris Green can deliver handy knocks in the lower order. Green can play a finisher’s role on his best day, and considering the conditions at this venue, we expect an impactful performance from the Aussie bowling all-rounder.

It will be cloudy in Nottingham around the match time with a high of 24 degrees Celsius. While light rain is expected later in the night, it should not be an issue during the match, and we will most likely have an uninterrupted game.

It is a balanced wicket where both batters and bowlers have delivered brilliant performances in recent matches. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 outings here is 166 runs. However, considering that Notts Outlaws chased down 189 runs on this ground, the team batting first should aim for 195 or more to be in a winning position.
Teams bowling first have won 4 of the last 6 T20 Blast matches played at this venue. There is plenty of help for the batters on this ground, and they should back themselves to chase down any total in the second innings. The hosts have won their last two home games while chasing a total.
Both teams have a strong overall squad. However, Nottinghamshire have been very inconsistent in both departments while the table-toppers have their key players in good form. Lancashire Lightning will have the advantage going into this match and will start as favorites in our match prediction.
