Leicestershire vs Derbyshire Chance of Winning

Leicestershire will hope to end their two-match losing streak and will hope that their batters like Soloman Budinger, Shan Masood and Peter Handscomb continue to bat well and help them post a mammoth total. They missed Alex Green’s services in the previous game and having him back in the side would be a huge boost for them.

Derbyshire, meanwhile, need more players to step up as they seem to have been overdependent on the likes of Caleb Jewell to ensure they post a competitive total. He needs support from the likes of Brooke Guest and others too. Ben Aitchison has been impressive with the ball, but others will also need to chip in if they are to return to winning ways.

Leicestershire vs Derbyshire Betting Tips

Shan Masood’s staggering List A record speaks volumes about why he has been a dependable batter for Leicestershire this season and why he would be a straightforward betting pick. In 134 List A games so far, Masood has scored 5993 runs at an average of 52.57 with 37 fifties and has as many as 16 hundreds to his name. Alex Green has picked up 11 wickets in four innings in the England Domestic One-Day Cup 2025 so far and he will be another good choice to place a decent stake on. Peter Handscomb has already scored a century this season and banking on his experience to come good again won’t be a bad idea.

Leicestershire vs Derbyshire Betting Odds

Derbyshire to dominate the powerplay (Parimatch)

In the 2024 season of the ODI Cup, Derbyshire managed 56 runs on average in the powerplay, making them one of the better sides in the competition. This year, they have continued the same as well, scoring at a strike rate of 103. So backing them to do well once again in the first 10 overs isn’t far-fetched.

Leicestershire vs Derbyshire Best Batters

Shan Masood to be Leicestershire’s best batter (Parimatch)

Shan Masood has been in fine form for Leicestershire this season so far and is their highest run-scorer. In five games, he has scored 272 runs at an average of 54.40 with 2 fifties and a hundred in his previous three innings. His rich vein of form makes him a reliable betting option.

Caleb Jewell to be Derbyshire’s best batter (Parimatch)

Despite batting just three times this season, Caleb Jewell has been the highest scorer for Derbyshire so far and that shows just how prolific he has been at the top of the order. He has scored 208 runs in three innings at an impressive average of 69.33 with a hundred and a half-century to his name. His explosive game and consistency makes him a straightforward choice for a decent stake.

Leicestershire vs Derbyshire Best Bowlers

Alex Green to be Leicestershire’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Alex Green has been the pick of the bowlers for Leicestershire so far this season and has been the second-highest wicket taker in the competition. In four innings, he has picked up 11 wickets at an economy rate of just 5.60 with two five-wicket hauls already. He is in red-hot form with the ball and betting on him should be a no-brainer.

Ben Aitchison to be Derbyshire’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Ben Aitchison continues to be the highest wicket-taker for Derbyshire so far this season with seven wickets in just 3 innings. He has made a massive difference to Derbyshire’s bowling since the time he has come into the side and betting on his fine form would augur well. So what are you waiting for?

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Leicestershire

Expect Leicestershire to beat Derbyshire. Leicestershire’s batting have some in-form players like Solomon Budinger, Shan Masood and skipper Peter Handscomb. Alex Green coming back into the side will give more potency to their bowling line-up and they will back themselves to end their two match losing streak. Given Derbyshire’s overdependence on Caleb Jewell with the bat and Ben Aitchison with the ball, they might find it hard to beat the hosts.
