NORTH DIVISION

Leicestershire v Yorkshire 

Where: Grace Road

When: Tuesday, July 23. Play begins at 6:30pm.

Lowdown: The Vikings head to Grace Road in search of their first victory of the tournament after a washout against Notts and a narrow defeat to Derbyshire. Leicestershire finished second bottom of the North Group last year and are currently winless in 2019.

One to Watch: Arron Lilley. The former Lancs off-spinning all rounder offers a great deal for the Foxes. His accurate off-spin is often darted in without much flight, containing opposition batsman in the middle overs. He has been known to open the batting in the past, his simple and aggressive approach proved useful for Lancashire last year.

Weather: Sunny and dry to begin with, but the chances of rain increase as we move later into the evening.

Tickets: Adults £15, Under 22 £12, Under 16 £3 - click here for more details.

Prediction: Yorkshire

SOUTH DIVISION

Surrey vs Middlesex

Where: The Oval

When: Tuesday, July 23. Play begins at 6:30pm.

Lowdown: Surrey have only played one game so far and they were defeated by Essex as Cameron Delport made a destructive hundred off 38 balls in a reduced-overs game. Middlesex currently sit in second place in the South Division after their victory over Essex.

One to watch: AB de Villiers is coming off the back of a fantastic 88 not out against Essex that saw his team home with three overs to spare. Surrey will certainly be wary of the South African's destructive ability on the batting-friendly wicket the ground staff will no doubt produce.

Weather: Glorious. 28°C expected in south London with a 1% chance of rain.

Tickets: Tickets are still available but selling out quickly. Adults £32-£35, Under 16 £1 - click here for more details.

Prediction: Surrey
