Derbyshire’s performance has been quite inconsistent this T20 Blast season. The team has won just 4 out of 13 matches and is currently bottom of the North Group table. But their last match was quite impressive against Yorkshire, where they won easily by 8 wickets. In bowling, Ben Aitchison took 5 wickets to rattle the Yorkshire batting line-up, and then Aneurin Donald (54) and Madsen (51)* completed the chase without any problem. This win would have definitely boosted the team’s morale, but their overall form is still inconsistent.
The County Ground in Derby is considered quite good for batting. The ball comes on the bat well, making shots easy. But at the start of the match, fast bowlers can get swing and seam, especially with the new ball. If a bowler bowls with discipline, he can take early wickets.
The pitch becomes flat after some time, in which the batters have the upper hand. The average score here in T20Is is around 164. The highest defended score is 162 and the lowest is also defended at 84. The average of the first innings is 163 while in the second innings scores are around 150.
The same trend is seen in ODIs as well. The team batting first is usually at an advantage. The ODI first innings average is 241, while in the second it is just 184. If the team winning the toss looks at the pitch and decides to bat first, then their chances are good. Overall, this is a batting-friendly pitch but in the early overs the fast bowlers also get their chance.
The last 10 Head-to-Head matches record between Derbyshire and Warwickshire has been quite close where Warwickshire have edged Derbyshire by just two wins. They have managed to win six matches against Derbyshire in the last 10 matches.
In the last meeting between these two teams this season, Warwickshire batted first and made a strong score of 199/6. Latham scored 58 runs in 42 balls and Alex Davies scored 49 in 29 balls. Moeen Ali finished the innings by scoring 33* runs in 17 balls. Patrick Brown bowled well for Derbyshire, taking 3 wickets for just 30 runs in 4 overs.
But while chasing the target Derbyshire were all out for 141 in 17.1 overs. Wayne Madsen scored 46 runs in 32 balls and Ross Whiteley played a fighting knock of 50 runs in 37 balls. But they did not get anyone's support. Warwickshire's Hasan Ali took 5 wickets for just 23 runs in 3.1 overs and destroyed the entire middle order. Garton also created pressure and took one wicket for 20 runs in 3 overs.
The turning point of this match was the collapse of Derbyshire. From 135/5 the whole team collapsed to 141 in just a few balls. Warwickshire dominated them in every department to win the match by 58 runs.
