The Opposition

Notts Outlaws will be looking for improvement after defeats in each of their opening two Vitality Blast games, having fallen to Northants Steelbacks and Birmingham Bears so far.

The Outlaws face Worcestershire on Thursday evening, before taking on the Falcons at Derby on Friday night, in the East Midlands Derby.

Yorkshire Vikings, boosted by the availability of Joe Root, have picked up two wins in their opening three games, and will be hoping to make a push for top spot in the North Group when they host the Falcons on Sunday.

New signing, Cam Fletcher, is excited to get started with the Falcons, after joining for the remainder of the Vitality Blast group stage.

Fletcher, a Super Smash winner with Auckland Aces, will provide added firewpower to the Falcons batting lineup, and has previously featured in the competition for Glamorgan.
