LAN vs NOT Betting Tips
Ben Duckett to score over 21.5 runs
Duckett looked in solid touch during Nottinghamshire's opening match, scoring a quick 29 off 18 balls before being dismissed. His ability to manipulate the field and score rapidly during the powerplay makes him a strong bet to clear this total against a Lancashire attack that struggled heavily against Surrey.
Nottinghamshire to hit the most sixes
Nottinghamshire's top and middle order feature several powerful strikers, including Benny Howell who smashed three maximums in his recent cameo. Given Lancashire's struggles to contain boundaries in their previous match, where they conceded 11 sixes, Nottinghamshire holds excellent value in this market.

LAN vs NOT Team Previews
Lancashire
Lancashire had a disastrous start to their 2026 campaign, suffering a 59-run defeat at the hands of Surrey. Their bowling attack was taken apart, conceding 213 runs, with only James Anderson offering some amount of control. Saqib Mahmood and Tom Hartley were expensive, placing early pressure on the entire team.
In their run chase, they were completely outclassed, managing only 154 before being bowled out in just 16.1 overs. They need their captain, Keaton Jennings, and wicket-keeper Matty Hurst to provide a much stronger foundation after both were dismissed for ducks in the opener.
Lancashire Expected Playing 11
Keaton Jennings (c), Michael Jones, Matty Hurst (wk), Ben McDermott, Joseph Moores, Chris Green, Paul Coughlin, Jack Blatherwick, Tom Hartley, Saqib Mahmood, James Anderson.

LAN vs NOT Toss Prediction
Old Trafford is typically a very good batting surface that holds its pace well under lights. The captain winning the toss will likely choose to bowl first, as dew can sometimes make it difficult for spinners later in the evening, making chasing the preferred option.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch at Old Trafford usually provides good pace and true bounce, making it excellent for stroke play. Spinners can occasionally find some grip if the pitch is dry, but fast bowlers generally rely on variations and hitting the deck hard. The weather forecast indicates clear to partly cloudy conditions, which should provide an uninterrupted contest.
LAN vs NOT : Who Will Win?
This is a tough fixture to call, but Nottinghamshire holds a slight advantage. Although they lost their opening match, their batting lineup showed intent, and several players look in good touch, only lacking a big individual score.
Lancashire's performance against Surrey was deeply concerning. Their bowling attack looked toothless against aggressive batting, and their top order completely collapsed. Nottinghamshire's overall balance and potential match-winners give them the edge in Manchester.
Bet on Nottinghamshire to win.
