Derbyshire have struggled to find their rhythm this season, picking up only two wins while losing seven, which has left them at the bottom of the standings. They’ll need a few strong performances soon if they want to salvage anything from the second half of the tournament.
The batters have to be a lot more consistent for that to happen. Wayne Madsen has been the most reliable with the bat, putting together 228 runs in nine matches at a strike rate of 122.
Aneurin Donald and Caleb Jewell have kept things steady, each scoring 227 runs across nine innings. Ross Whiteley has added a few useful knocks, but Derbyshire will be hoping he can turn one of those starts into something more substantial in this game.
Patrick Brown has been the pick of the bowlers with 10 wickets in nine innings, although his economy rate of 11.24 will be a concern. AM Ghazanfar and Samit Patel have chipped in with nine wickets each, but overall, the bowling attack has looked flat and needs more support from the rest of the group.

Yorkshire’s season has been up and down, with only three wins sandwiched between six defeats. They are coming off a solid 41-run win against Worcestershire, which should help lift the mood in the camp.
Dawid Malan has been one of their more dependable performers with the bat, sitting at the top of their run charts with 313 runs in nine innings and a strike rate of 173.
James Wharton and William Luxton have also been in good touch, both scoring over 200 runs this season. They have a central role to play in the middle order and will need to produce again if Yorkshire want control of this match.
In the bowling department, William O’Rourke has been the standout with 14 wickets in nine games, going at 8.91. Dominic Bess and Jafer Chohan have chipped in well, sharing 20 wickets. Matt Milnes has looked steady in his four matches and added strength to the attack from the moment he came in.

Scoring can be tricky at Queen's Park if the surface grips, especially for batters who try to go hard early. Timing matters more than power, and mis-hits don’t travel far. Seamers who keep it straight and full often get results, while spinners can cause problems in the middle overs. Batting second tends to be easier as the pitch settles a bit.
Chesterfield will be mostly cloudy on Sunday, with chances of a couple of showers. We should still get a full game.
The average score batting first at Queen's Park is 164. The highest total posted at the venue is Derbyshire’s 212-4 against Yorkshire in the 2023 T20 Blast. This isn’t usually a high-scoring venue and a score of around 175-odd will be par for this game.
Six of the 10 games played at Queen's Park have been won by the team batting second. So, expect the toss-winning captain to field first here.
Derbyshire and Yorkshire have both struggled to get going this season and both need a desperate turnaround in their fortunes. Both teams have their pros and cons, but Yorkshire overall look a little better and come into this game on the back of a dominant win. Derbyshire have some in-form batters but their lackluster bowling unit is a big disadvantage. Hence, Yorkshire are the safer picks for this contest.
Yorkshire are our picks for the winners of this match.
