Preview
Nottinghamshire have enjoyed an impressive campaign so far and would like to continue their winning run. So far, they have won four of their eight games and are leading the North Group team standings. While one of their fixtures resulted in a draw, the other was washed out due to rain. Joe Clarke and Alex Hales will be the men to watch out for from the Nottinghamshire camp.
On the other hand, Lancashire have blown hot and cold this season. Although they have shown glimpses of their potential, winning consistently has been a problem for them. The Dane Vilas-led side is currently holding fifth place in the points table with three wins in eight games. Notably, the reverse fixture featuring these two teams resulted in a tie. Hence, it would be interesting to see how this game unfolds.

Captaincy Picks for NOT vs LAN
Finn Allen
The dashing New Zealand opener has been in staggering form this season and has played several fiery knocks. Allen likes to take advantage of the field restrictions and playing big knocks isn’t beyond his reach either. So far, the youngster has slammed 213 runs in seven outings with a brilliant strike rate of 141.89.
Alex Hales
Allen is certainly not the only opener who can torment bowlers in this contest. His Nottinghamshire counterpart Alex Hales has been doing the same job as well. The veteran has been at his prime this season and many bowlers became victims of his carnage. Hales has so far mustered 234 runs in eight innings and would like to enhance his tally further.
