Matthew Breetzke adds firepower to the batting at the top and shall look to deliver a strong start with Emilio Gay. The middle order is power-packed, and they will expect runs from Sikandar Raza, David Willey, and Saif Zaib. Lewis McManus and Ravi Bopara are powerful hitters and strengthen the team's batting.
The bowling attack looks good this season, and the side will expect a good start in this game from David Willey and George Scrimshaw.

Spin Bowling
County Ground, Northampton, has a small outfield, and batsmen have always enjoyed batting on this surface. Fast bowlers who swing the ball do well at this venue in the early overs of the game. Spinners need to use their variations as the venue's small size makes life difficult.
Toss: To Bowl
At this venue, most teams chasing the score win games. It is a difficult wicket for batsmen at the start, but the conditions improve as the game progresses. Hence, the side that wins the toss in this game would like to take advantage of the conditions and bowl first.

Winning Prediction
Derbyshire Falcons have a strong batting lineup, but the bowling attack is relatively weak. It is the first game this season, and the bowling attack must execute its plans perfectly to win. Northamptonshire Steelbacks have quality all-rounders in the team and a good record at this venue, giving them an edge.
