Northamptonshire Steelbacks have had a dream start to Vitality Blast 2025, winning their first four matches and storming to the top of the North Group. Both their batting and bowling departments are complementing each other beautifully, which makes the Steelbacks one of the teams to beat now.
In the batting department, the seasoned veteran Ravi Bopara is leading the charts with 167 runs in four innings at a strike rate of 141.52. He has only been dismissed once and appears to be in the form of his life.
Skipper David Willey and Ricardo Vasconcelos are the other two batters who have made an impact, each scoring over 120 runs in their four matches.
As for the bowling, Ben Sanderson has been a standout, capturing 13 wickets in four games at an economy of just 5.37. David Willey and Lloyd Pope have been consistently good as well, sharing 12 wickets between them.

Northamptonshire Preview
Lancashire Lightning started their season with a bang, with three wins on the trot, before being thwarted by Leicestershire Foxes in their previous match by 5 wickets. It has still been an impressive performance by Lancashire, and they would look to continue on their momentum in their next set of games.
Captain Keaton Jennings has been sensational for Lancashire this year, smashing 224 runs in just four matches at an average of 56 and a strike rate of 176.37. He has been extremely consistent, and you can back him to get around 25-30 runs in this game.
Apart from him, the only other batter to stand out in this batting unit is Luke Wells with 138 runs in four matches at a strike rate of 157.
Among the bowlers, the veteran James Anderson is still showing his magic with four wickets in two matches, although he has been on the expensive side. Thomas Aspinwall, though, has been excellent with five wickets in four matches. He, along with Charlie Barnard and Chris Green, make this a robust bowling unit.
Northamptonshire Predicted Playing XI:
Keaton Jennings (c), Luke Wells, Matthew Hurst (wk), Ashton Turner, Michael Jones, Josh Bohannon, Chris Green, Tom Hartley, Thomas Aspinwall, Charlie Barnard, James Anderson

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Emirates Old Trafford provides a balanced pitch for T20s. Pacers get movement early, especially under cloud cover, while spinners find grip as the game progresses. The outfield is quick, and square boundaries are short, encouraging aggressive strokeplay. Batting gets easier after the powerplay, but timing will be important. Dew isn't a major factor, so chasing or setting a score depends more on the team's strength than the conditions.
The weather in Manchester is expected to be mostly cloudy and windy, which should provide more movement for the seam bowlers off the air.

The average score batting first at Old Trafford is 164. This year in the T20 Blast, the highest total posted at the venue is Lancashire’s 216-3 against Nottinghamshire, a game they won by 47 runs. Going into this game, we reckon a score of around 180-190 is a must for the batting team to be competitive.

With the weather likely to be mostly cloudy in Manchester, expect both captains to field first in the hope of getting some early wickets.

Winning Prediction
Both Lancashire Lightning and Northamptonshire Steelbacks have had a great start to the Vitality Blast 2025. That said, Lancashire appears to be more reliant on their bowling, while their batting unit has seen only a couple of players firing. Northamptonshire, in comparison, look more balanced across the board. They also have better winning momentum with them and will be the favorites heading into this clash.
We are backing Northamptonshire Steelbacks as the winners of this match.
