The final match of the day will be played between two teams who are placed at the bottom-most position on the points table. We are talking about Northamptonshire Steelbacks and Leicestershire whose journey in this season has taken aback.
Both teams have managed only one win to their name from 6 matches which means only 2 points are registered against their names. Northamptonshire’s only win this season came against Warwickshire by a havoc margin of 194 runs. That was their third match of the season after which they lost two more matches to find themselves reeling at the eighth spot.
Meanwhile, Leicestershire’s only win this season came in the game against Worcestershire Rapids by 38 runs. Before this win, they lost their opening two games at the hands of Yorkshire Vikings and Durham Jets by 213 runs and 6 wickets respectively which eventually affected their net run rate as well.
Now, with both teams already terminated from the competition, this dead-rubber sort of game will only determine which team will end up at the bottom-most spot.
