While the PSL 2021 resumes in UAE, there’s another major T20 franchise league kicking off in England, which means clashes in squads, so pick players accordingly. We’re talking about the 2021 Vitality Blast in England and there are multiple games each day in order to compensate the entire schedule of this tournament. On the opening day on 9th June, we have four games scheduled in the T20 Blast 2021.
In the opening game, we have Lancashire in action and they’ll be playing host at the Emirates Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester. They’re taking on Derbyshire and the former has had an edge over the latter in recent head to head games, so keep that in mind for those interested in online sports betting for this league. Keep reading for our complete BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy preview of the LAN vs DER game…

Lancashire Lightning
Coming in from New Zealand to make his T20 Blast debut is Finn Allen and the 22-year old has been in brilliant form so he’s likely to make this playing eleven. He’s got a top score of 71 in three T20Is so far and should make your LAN vs DER fantasy team. With the ball, Saqib Mahmood was tournament leader at PSL 2021 with 12 scalps in 4 games and he’s likely to be among the wickets, so should be picked as well.
Talking about good form, there’s Liam Livingstone who’s coming off a good stint in Australia in the Big Bash League and he’s a floater with the bat, likely to open for Lancashire in this tournament and should make your LAN vs DER Dream11 team today. With better bowling picks in the squad, Danny Lamb is not going to be a very popular option which actually makes the bowling all-rounder an x-factor pick.
Derbyshire
One of the leading batsmen in the recent Big Bash League season was Ben McDermott who got 400+ runs in 12 games and he’s a definite pick in our BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) LAN vs DER fantasy tea, likely to open the batting for Derbyshire. Matt Critchley scored 45 with the bat and got 2/17 with the ball in his last T20 game for Derbyshire 2nd XI, so he’s worth picking maybe as fantasy captain or vice-captain as well.

It’s been 10 innings across formats that Billy Godleman last scored a fifty and while he’s not been having a good run of form, it won’t take time to change that as he’s super experienced with 169 FC games under his belt over the years. With 6 wickets in 3 games for Netherlands against Ireland very recently, there’s Logan van Beek who’s a must have since he contributes with the bat when needed as well.
