NORTH DIVISION

Nottinghamshire v Leicestershire

Where: Trent Bridge

When: Saturday, July 27. Play begins at 2:30pm.

Lowdown: Both sides have endured miserable County Championship campaigns and are looking to the T20 Blast to kick-start their seasons.

One to watch: Alex Hales has begun the Blast in some decent form and is looking desperate to regain his place in England's white-ball plans after a tough year.

Weather: The forecast is not looking promising, to be quite honest. Rain, rain and more rain is anticipated in the Trent Bridge area.

Tickets: Adults £19.80, Under-16 £9.80 - click here for more details.

Prediction: Notts

SOUTH DIVISION

Essex v Gloucestershire

Where: Chelmsford

When: Saturday, July 27. Play begins at 7pm.

Lowdown: Two savvy T20 teams, both of which will be looking at Finals Day as a possibility.

One to watch: Cameron Delport began the tournament with a 49-ball 129 against Surrey and has looked in prime nick.

Weather: It's looking like a wet day all round. The forecast is a fairly miserable one for Chelmsford, with rain likely throughout.

Tickets: Sold out.

Prediction: Essex
