Lancashire vs Derbyshire Match Analysis
The North Group clash between Lancashire and Derbyshire will be held at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, on July 5, 2025. The match is expected to begin at 6:30 PM local time. Both sides are looking to climb higher in the standings with a strong performance in this fixture.
That trio doesn’t just add firepower—they turn Lancashire’s top and middle order into a pressure cooker with no escape valve. Their team is well-balanced, with strong all-round options and experienced bowlers.
Derbyshire, led by veteran all-rounder Samit Patel, has shown flashes of brilliance this season but remains inconsistent. Their batting unit includes experienced names like Wayne Madsen and Luis Reece, while their bowling relies on a mix of pace and spin.
LAN vs DER Team Preview & Squads
Lancashire
Keaton Jennings leads Lancashire with a composed and tactical approach. Though not a T20 powerhouse himself, his calmness helps steady the team during pressure situations. He also plays the anchor role when needed in a batting-heavy side.
LAN’s batting lineup is arguably one of the most dangerous in the Blast, featuring Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, and Phil Salt. Add the likes of Daryl Mitchell and Tom Bruce, and they possess brutal firepower till the lower middle-order. Their top 7 are all capable match-winners.
Lancashire’s bowling is spearheaded by Saqib Mahmood and Luke Wood, while Tom Hartley and George Dockrell offer spin control. Chris Green and Will Williams provide all-round options that enhance bowling depth.
In their last meeting on June 20, 2025, at Derby, LAN posted a monstrous total of 243/7 on the back of explosive batting. Derbyshire’s chase crumbled under pressure, managing only 163 in 17.2 overs. Lancashire’s bowlers were relentless, ensuring an emphatic 80-run win.

Derbyshire
Patel brings crucial T20 expertise and leadership that DER relies upon heavily. He contributes to both departments—controlling the game with his left-arm spin and adding value with the bat.
DER relies heavily on the steady hands of Wayne Madsen, Luis Reece, and Brooke Guest in their batting order. Ross Whiteley and Aneurin Donald add explosiveness in the lower middle order. However, the top-order collapse in the previous game against Lancashire remains a concern.
Derbyshire features several pace options in Blair Tickner, Zak Chappell, and Suranga Lakmal. Mark Watt and Alex Thomson provide spin variations, while Samit Patel and Anuj Dal are handy all-rounders. Despite the talent, they’ve struggled to contain big-hitting teams this season.
In the last encounter with Lancashire, Derbyshire failed to contain a rampant batting lineup and conceded 243 runs. Their response with the bat lacked momentum and consistency, folding for 163 in 17.2 overs. The bowlers couldn’t defend the short boundaries, and the batsmen failed to build any significant partnerships. They will need a stronger collective effort in Manchester.
