You don’t wait to miss out on experiencing this local rivalry LIVE and in-person at The Incora County Ground this Friday!
T20 is a game where anything can happen, last season’s tie was a prime example of just how unpredictable this format can be. With world-class overseas talent on show, along with a who’s who of county cricket’s top performers, the East Midlands Derby is not one to miss.
Shan Masood, Wayne Madsen, Leus du Plooy and Luis Reece all have the potential to smash the ball out of the ground, while bowlers George Scrimshaw and Sam Conners will be looking to add further to their impressive records. All-rounder, Hayden Kerr, is one of the Big Bash’s biggest stars, and he’ll be looking to bring some Aussie heat to the Notts batters.
The visitors also boast a formidable squad, with Alex Hales and Ben Duckett having earned England honours, while the evergreen Samit Patel and Steven Mullaney always have the potential to be dangerous with bat and ball.
The Incora County Ground has a whole new range of food and drinks for the 2022 Vitality Blast! These include:
The Wood-Fired Pizza Shack will serve classics such as margarita and pepperoni, as well as innovative takes on much-loved Italian food.
