Lancashire and Nottinghamshire will lock horns on May 31, 2025, in the Vitality Blast Men. Meeting at Old Trafford, Manchester, the sides are going to take the field at 8:30 P.M IST.

Lancashire vs Nottinghamshire Chances of Winning

Lancashire’s campaign in the County Championship is far from ideal as they went winless for the entire first leg. To add fuel to the fire, they ended with a loss against Leicestershire where the Manchester-rooted team found themselves bundled out for 206 runs. Leicestershire snatched the lead with ease and posted 457 runs on the board. Although Lancashire had slim chances to begin with, they did not help their cause by getting dismissed for a measly total of 248, losing by a margin of an innings and three runs.

On the other hand, Nottinghamshire are the most successful team in the Division One so far and they sealed their fourth victory of the season against Yorkshire last time out. Having batted first, Nottinghamshire scored 228 which, under ordinary circumstances, would be inadequate but the bowlers kept Yorkshire at bay by ensuring they were all out for 159. This gave Nottinghamshire the opportunity to add 393 runs to their score; Joe Clarke’s 94 and Ben Slater’s 78 were the standout performances from the team and they were in command of this match. The bowlers brought it home in the end and Nottinghamshire enjoyed a monumental 163-run win.

Nottinghamshire to score high before first dismissal

Haseeb Hameed and Ben Slater’s consistency is absolutely unmatched and their performance as openers for Nottinghamshire in the County Championship is commendable.

Lancashire vs Nottinghamshire Betting Odds

Nottinghamshire to have a better opening partnership than Lancashire

Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings are a reliable opening pair for Lancashire and their contribution to the first wicket during the County season was brilliant. Even though they have a slight problem of inconsistency, the openers notched up impressive scores of 74, 25, 8, 62, 5 and 30 runs in the last three matches. Despite this, Nottinghamshire are on a different plane as Haseeb Hameed and Ben Slater have elevated the team’s first wicket with totals of 9, 73, 104, 41, 62 and 11 runs in the last three outings. Both sides are on nearly equal footing in this aspect but Nottinghamshire are favored to achieve a better opening result.
