LAN vs NOR Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s English T20 Blast match – July 2, 2023

The 121st match of the Vitality T20 Blast, 2023 is scheduled to take place between Lancashire and Northamptonshire at Old Trafford Cricket Ground on Sunday, July 2, commencing at 07:00 pm IST.

In four of their last five games, Lancashire batted first and posted totals of over 170 on three occasions and a score of above 160. Jos Buttler has been in scintillating form, smashing a few half-centuries and falling short of a well-deserved hundred.

With three victories in their previous five games, Northamptonshire have played almost equally as Lancashire in recent games. One of the factors contributing to their recent successes was the fact that their openers scored over 250 runs in their previous five matches.

Their winning formula this season has been the Northamptonshire bowlers who have performed consistently and limited the opposition to modest scores in their chases.

On that note, here are three players whom you can pick as captain or vice-captain for your Dream11 team for the LAN vs NOR game.
