It is expected to be a high-scoring game and a total of over 160 should be at par on this venue, with a relatively flat surface. There will be no room of error for the bowlers, especially spinners.
Lancashire (LAN) will face the challenge of Essex (ESS) in Quarter-Final 3 of Vitality T20 Blast 2022. In their last outing, LAN secured a close victory by two runs and will be upbeat ahead of this clash.
Players like Jos Buttler and Phil Salt are unlikely to be available for them, and Dane Vilas and Richard Gleeson will look to step up and provide strong performances.
On the other hand, Essex are coming into this game after a 69-run victory in their last league and will be confident as well. Adam Rossington and Daniel Sams will be their key players.
Lancashire:Rob Jones, Keaton Jennings, Steven Croft, Dane Vilas (c), Tim David, Luke Wells, Danny Lamb, Luke Wood, Tom Hartley, Richard Gleeson, Matthew Parkinson
Probable Playing XI
Essex:Adam Rossington (wk), Robin Das, Michael-Kyle Pepper, Daniel Lawrence, Paul Walter, Tom Westley, Daniel Sams, Simon Harmer (c), Aaron Beard, Ben Allison, Samuel Cook
