Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire are set to face each other in a North Group match of the T20 Blast 2023 on Friday, May 26. The Trent Bridge in Nottingham will host the contest. Derbyshire, led by Leus du Plooy, did not make a great start to their campaign as they lost to Lancashire by four wickets on May 20 at Edgbaston in Birmingham. After being asked to bat first, Derbyshire scored 179 for the loss of five wickets in 20 overs.
Wayne Madsen was their standout batter, having scored 50 runs off 35 balls with three fours and four sixes. Thereafter, Lancashire chased down the target with four balls to spare after opening batter Luke Wells scored 66 runs off 35 balls with nine fours and three sixes.
Nottinghamshire, on the other hand, are yet to play a game and will be looking to get off to a winning start. They have Alex Hales as one of their prolific run-scorers and have also signed Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi. Joe Clarke, Samit Patel, and Colin Munro bring in a lot of value to their eleven.
Nottinghamshire are the stronger of the two teams, at least on paper and hence they will go into the match as favorites. Moreover, the fact that they will be playing at home also gives them an advantage.
Prediction: Nottinghamshire to win this contest of Vitality T20 Blast 2023.

Alex Hales to the best batsman for Nottinghamshire
Alex Hales is coming off a poor PSL season. Hales has a reputation for scoring big runs in the Vitality Blast competition over the years. He scored 374 runs last season. In the absence of Ben Duckett Hales has the additional responsibility of scoring runs for his team and he has a batting-friendly track to kick-start his season on a positive note.
Leus du Plooy to be the top batter for Derbyshire
The captain of Derbyshire Leus du Plooy scored 33 runs in his first game of the season against Lancashire. Du Plooy is a free-flowing batsman and likes to take his chances irrespective of the situation. He is an attacking player and likes pace on the ball. We back Du Plooy to be the top run scorer for Derbyshire.
Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire clashed in 33 T20 Matches. Nottinghamshire holds a record of 26-7 against the visitors Derbyshire. In their last head-to-head matches, Nottinghamshire won five matches, while Derbyshire was winless.

The pitch in Nottingham is generally a belter for the batters and batters find it easy to play shots on the up. A high-scoring match seems to be in the offing.
