Fantasy Tips of The Day
Phillip Salt (151 runs and a catch) and Daryl Mitchell (82 runs and two catches) featured in the Best11 in four of their last five T20s.
Luke Wood loves bowling at Old Trafford, where he has bagged 23 wickets including the best figures of four for 20.
When these sides last met, Lewis Hill (50 runs and a catch) and Tom Hartley (two wickets) were the power players for their respective sides.
By scalping 25 wickets in 16 games (the most by a Lancashire bowler in 2022), Richard Gleeson provided an average of 39 points per match.
Colin Ackermann (367 runs at 31) and Callum Parkinson (20 wickets) were the leading run-getter and wicket-taker respectively for Leicestershire in the previous edition.
In 2022, Nick Welch collected 173 runs at 43 and also generated bonus points for slamming the most sixes (12) by a Leicestershire player.
