Lancashire Lightning beat Derbyshire Falcons by four runs in a T20 Blast thriller in Derby last week and the rivals meet again at Old Trafford on Monday.
A Lancashire victory would boost their chances of making the quarter-finals, but Derbyshire are bottom of the North Group after losing five of their seven completed matches.
Lancashire Lightning vs Derbyshire Falcons Tips Summary
Best Bet - Lancashire Lightning to hit over 6.5 sixes @ 4/6
Alternative Bet - Aneurin Donald to hit most sixes for Derbyshire Falcons @ 13/5
Bet Builder - Lancashire Lightning to win, Liam Livingstone to hit most sixes for Lancashire & Martin Andersson over 20.5 runs @ 15/2
Lancashire Lightning vs Derbyshire Falcons Prediction
Best Bet: Lancashire Lightning to hit over 6.5 sixes @ 4/6
Despite missing openers Phil Salt and Jos Buttler due to England commitments, Lancashire Lightning can still name a powerful batting line-up against Derbyshire Falcons.
The Lightning recovered from 41-3 to post a matchwinning total of 205 in Derby last week and they should be backed to hit at least seven sixes in the return fixture.
Australia's Ben McDermott and Pakistan's Shadab Khan struck 10 maximums between them in the four-run win over Derbyshire.
Michael Jones, Keaton Jennings and Matty Hurst also cleared the ropes in that game, although there was a rare failure for Liam Livingstone.
The big-hitting all-rounder was dismissed for two in Derby before bouncing back with 47 off 31 balls in Saturday's one-run loss to North Group leaders Nottinghamshire.
Lancashire hit nine sixes at Trent Bridge and their power hitters should have more success against a struggling Derbyshire bowling attack.
Alternative Bet: Aneurin Donald to hit most sixes for Derbyshire Falcons @ 13/5
Aneurin Donald is a key man for Derbyshire Falcons in T20 cricket as he captains the side, opens the batting and keeps wicket.
Donald gave Lancashire a scare in the reverse fixture, smashing 88 off just 37 balls with nine fours and six sixes.
He looks a good bet to hit the most sixes for the visitors on Monday, having struck 22 maximums in eight T20 Blast innings this season.
No other Falcons batter has hit more than 12 and Donald's 2025 tally of 31 sixes was 16 more than any of his teammates.
Lancashire Lightning vs Derbyshire Falcons Bet Builder Tip
Lancashire Lightning to win
Liam Livingstone to hit most sixes for Lancashire
Martin Andersson over 20.5 runs
Pays @ 15/2
Derbyshire Falcons have lost 11 of their last 12 completed meetings with Lancashire Lightning in the T20 Blast and they are unlikely to improve that record at Old Trafford.
Livingstone has struck 50 sixes in 14 innings since the start of the 2025 Blast season and he is a worthy favourite to hit the most maximums for Lancashire.
Derbyshire opener Martin Andersson was dismissed for a duck in the home defeat to Lancashire, but he racked up four half-centuries in his first seven Blast innings this season.
