Who Will Win Leicestershire vs Northamptonshire 94th T20 Blast 2025 Prediction – 10th July
Leicestershire vs Northamptonshire prediction is what fans are looking forward to as the two sides clash in Match 94 of the T20 Blast 2025 at Leicestershire County Ground, Leicester, on Thursday, 10th July 2025. Leicestershire Foxes will look to bounce back after a close defeat and capitalize on their excellent home record, having won 4 out of 5 matches at this venue.
Northants Steelbacks, meanwhile, are desperately seeking a turnaround. They are currently on a 4-match losing streak and are in urgent need of inspiration. Their top-order has consistently failed, and no batter has crossed 50 in the last three games.

A victory here could push Leicestershire into the top four, making this a must-win.

Leicestershire Preview
Leicestershire Foxes have shown good control in home conditions and will back themselves for a strong comeback. Although they suffered a narrow 1-wicket loss defending 188 recently, their overall form has been consistent. The bowling unit, led by Logan van Beek and Louis Kimber, is performing well, and spinners like Trevaskis and Rehan Ahmed are doing damage in the middle overs.
Solomon Budinger continues to anchor the top order with steady runs, while Rehan Ahmed has emerged as a pivotal middle-order batsman. Shan Masood brings experience and balance. The lower middle order with Ben Cox and Beek can finish well, making the Foxes a dangerous unit in tight chases.
With conditions favoring bowlers and Foxes knowing their ground inside out, they are likely to hold the edge.
Predicted Playing XI:
Rishi Patel, Soloman Budinger, Shan Masood, Rehan Ahmed, Louis Kimber (c), Ben Cox (wk), Liam Trevaskis, Logan van Beek, Tom Scriven, Sam Wood, Josh Hull
Northamptonshire Preview
Northants Steelbacks have hit a rough patch, with four losses in a row. Their batting woes begin with underperforming openers Ricardo Vasconcelos and Tim Robinson, while David Willey, batting at No. 3, has also failed to provide impact.
While Ravi Bopara brings experience, his recent form suggests the need for restructuring. Justin Broad and Saif Zaib have potential and should bat higher. Lewis McManus can stabilize the innings at No. 6, followed by late hitters like George Bartlett.
In bowling, Ben Sanderson and Scrimshaw are key, but the addition of Liam Guthrie, a left-arm pacer, can provide variety. Their attack lacks the penetration to defend par scores or choke the opposition during the chase.
Unless their batting clicks, they could struggle to match the Foxes’ intensity.
Predicted Playing XI:
Ricardo Vasconcelos, Tim Robinson, Justin Broad, David Willey (c), Saif Zaib, Lewis McManus (wk), George Bartlett, Ben Sanderson, Lloyd Pope, George Scrimshaw, Liam Guthrie

Why Leicestershire?
The Foxes are a confident unit at home with an excellent win ratio at Leicester. Their bowlers, led by van Beek and Trevaskis, have regularly choked opposition in the middle overs. In contrast, Northamptonshire’s top-order is out of form, and their middle order hasn’t capitalized. Unless Northants drastically improves, Leicestershire should cruise to a win. The hosts’ superior form, momentum, and team balance give them the upper hand.
