Nottinghamshire vs Lancashire match prediction 3 Oct 2020

Nottinghamshire vs Lancashire | Three bets to light up your weekend

Both Nottinghamshire and Lancashire have qualified from the same group and have already played against each other once in the tournament so far. With both aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses, the match between Nottinghamshire and Lancashire will be a one to watch out for. The historic Edgbaston will play host to the exciting contest, this Saturday evening. Irrespective of the result, we are expecting a neck to neck battle between these two heavyweights and I am sure you are not going to miss out on the action.

To make the day more memorable for you, I have already handpicked the top three deals from the betting market and listed them for you below. Just go through my analysis and invest accordingly to win exciting rewards.

Joe Clarke to hit over 2.5 fours @ 1.83 (Bet 365)

This is by far one of the safest deals in the market ahead of the upcoming game and with odds of 1.83 on offer, there is no way we can ignore this one. In the last five matches, Joe Clarke has hit a total of 17 boundaries (3, 5, 0, 3, 6), at a rate of 3.4 per match, having struck at least three in four of those matches. Overall, in nine matches, the right-hander has registered a total of 35 boundaries, averaging almost four per match, having hit more than three in seven of the above-mentioned matches.

In the last match against Lancashire, Clarke hit 7 boundaries en-route to his match-winning innings. Even when he played the last time at the Edgbaston, in Birmingham, the Englishman hit a total of 5 boundaries, which again works in our favour. Overall, in 63 matches, the batsman has registered 174 boundaries, at a rate of almost three per match, which speaks a lot regarding his capabilities. I hope you have placed the bet by now.

Nottinghamshire to hit more sixes @ 1.80 (Bet 365)

A safe bet to say the least, but do check out the statistics before you actually invest your money. In the last five matches, Nottinghamshire have always hit more sixes than their rivals, having struck a total of 28 sixes, at a rate of 5.6 hits per innings, while conceding 17 sixes (3.4 hits per match) in the same. Overall, in nine matches this season, the team registered a total of 53 sixes, averaging almost 6 strikes per game. On the flip side, Lancashire have hit a total of 41 sixes in 10 matches, averaging 4.1 hits per game.

In the last five matches, Lancashire have struck a total of 24 sixes, at a rate of 4.8 sixes. Overall, in the last four H2H between these two sides, Nottinghamshire have hit 28 sixes, at a rate of seven per match, compared to Lancashire's 20 (5 hits per match). While these two sides have not played a great deal at Edgbaston, even though the last time Lancashire played at the venue, they struck 5 maximums while letting in 9 in the same. I have already placed my bet, have you?

Lancashire to hit less than 11.5 fours @ 1.83 (Bet 365)

Even though Lancashire have played some fine cricket on their way to the semi-finals, they have not hit many boundaries comparatively. In the last five matches, the team has registered just 45 boundaries, at a rate of 9 per match, with them failing to score more than 11 in each of those games. Overall, they have struck 96 boundaries in 10 matches so far, this season, averaging 9.6 boundaries per match. As per the recent statistics, it is unlikely that they are going to hit more than 11 boundaries.

Meanwhile, their record improves when playing away from home, but that still does not change the situation. In the past four away matches, Lancashire have hit a total of 53 boundaries (9, 10, 13, 9), at a rate of 10.25 per innings, out of which they managed to hit at least 12 boundaries just once. Meanwhile, Alex Davies, the batsman with the highest number of boundaries for Lancashire is at the 15th spot in the list of top boundary hitters this season, with 30 hits from 10 matches (three per match). There is no reason why we should not invest on this bet and claim the handsome rewards on offer.
