Sedbergh School

Lancashire and Northamptonshire are poised to meet in the One-Day Cup on August 5, 2025, and the teams will take on each other at Sedbergh School. The match is slated to begin at 3:30 PM IST.

Lancashire vs Northamptonshire Chances of Winning

Lancashire returned to losing ways during their last County encounter against Glamorgan where the latter batted first to post 261 runs on the board. Lancashire responded with a mere 137 runs which was not nearly enough, and their entire batting order was rendered useless. Glamorgan took the opportunity to add 348 additional runs before declaring and this made it impossible for Lancashire to catch up. The James Anderson-led side were much better with the bat in the final innings but it was too little, too late; Luke Wells’ 102 was the top contribution from the team while Marcus Harris’ 61 was a close second. In the end, they were bundled out for 318 and they conceded defeat by a massive margin of 154 runs. The team were on a two-match winning streak prior to that and this defeat marked their third one of the campaign.

Northamptonshire exercised damage limitation as they took on Derbyshire in the previous match and allowed the latter to score 377 runs while batting first. However, Northamptonshire were prolific with the bat since they responded by securing a 550-run stand in the second innings - the lower order were particularly fruitful as Justin Broad and Rob Keogh were centurions with 171 and 125* runs, respectively. Skipper and opener Luke Procter was next in line with 71 runs while George Bartlett made a 66-run contribution. The bowlers were pulling their weight since Derbyshire were 185/5 in the third innings before a lack of time thwarted a result.

Lancashire vs Northamptonshire Betting Tips

Lancashire to score low before first dismissal

Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings have been the mainstay openers for Lancashire in the County Championship this season but their partnership has deteriorated over the course of the season. In the last five County matches, the pair posted underwhelming scores of 4, 5, 28, 8, 5, 60, 119, 74 and 25 runs. Since there was a very sharp and noticeable decline in their performance during their campaign, they are not expected to put on a massive score in the next match either.

Lancashire vs Northamptonshire Betting Odds

Northamptonshire to have a better opening partnership than Lancashire

Both sides have struggled in terms of opening partnerships this season but Lancashire are particularly awful in this respect since Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings have been entirely off the mark. In the last three County games, they secured totals of 4, 5, 28, 8, 5 and 60 runs together. Northamptonshire’s Ricardo Vasconcelos and Luke Procter are only marginally better with stands of 21, 54, 10 and 25 runs in the last three matches in the County Championship. Despite that, the bookmakers are confident the latter will attain a superior first partnership in the upcoming fixture.

Lancashire vs Northamptonshire Best Batters

Keaton Jennings to be Lancashire’s Best Batter

Keaton Jennings was the second leading batter for Lancashire in the County Championship this season with 876 runs in 21 innings and an average of 43.80. This includes two centuries and a whopping four half-centuries which makes the opener the favorite for the upcoming game as well.

Saif Zaib to be Northamptonshire’s Best Batter

Saif Zaib stands as the top contributor for Northamptonshire in the County Championship this season, having garnered an impressive 1047 runs in just 18 innings. He has five centuries and four half-centuries under his belt along with an exceptional average of 61.58, making him the top contender for the upcoming fixture.

Lancashire vs Northamptonshire Best Bowlers

Tom Hartley to be Lancashire’s Best Bowler

Tom Hartley was the leading wicket-taker in Lancashire’s County game against Gloucestershire where he bagged a six-for in the first innings and a fifer in the second. He has 26 wickets in 11 innings and despite a rather high average of 34.26, he is expected to come out on top in the next match against Northamptonshire.

Liam Guthrie to be Northamptonshire’s Best Bowler

Liam Guthrie is the top bowler for Northamptonshire in the present County season with 29 wickets in 17 innings so far. He has a less-than-ideal average of 36.93 in the tournament but as their most consistent bowler, he is the top choice against Lancashire in the first game of the One Day Cup.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Lancashire

Lancashire and Northamptonshire were both having a suboptimal season in the County Championship Division Two prior to this, and the latter were especially awful since they were seventh in the standings - the penultimate position. They had two victories, four defeats and five drawn matches while Lancashire were one spot higher in sixth with two wins, three losses and six draws. Although both sides were quite similar in terms of form, Lancashire have three victories on the trot against Northamptonshire in their head-to-head tally leading up to this game, making the Manchester-rooted team the favorites for the next encounter.
