Northamptonshire vs Derbyshire Chances of Winning

Northamptonshire had their hands tied in the last match against Middlesexwhere the bowlers allowed the latter to score a whopping 625 runs while batting first. This put immense pressure on Northamptonshire’s batters which they were, naturally, unable to withstand. They responded with a mere 261 runs in the first innings where Saif Zaib top-scored with 82 runs. While following on, they scored an additional 257 runs which was not nearly enough and the Lewis McManus-led side ended up falling short by an innings and 107 runs.

Derbyshire, too,faced a massive defeat at the hands of Leicestershire in the last matchwhere the latter scored 398 runs in the first innings. The Derby-based team did not even make it close as they found themselves bundled out for 189; Harry Came and Caleb Jewell scored 56 and 54 runs, respectively. Leicestershire managed to extend their lead by 236 runs and this was the final nail in the coffin for Derbyshire who eventually conceded defeat by 189 runs.
