Last time out 

A virtuoso performance from Alex Hales took centre stage when these sides met at Emerald Headingley in 2018.

After a disciplined bowling performance from Harry Gurney and Ish Sodhi reined in the hosts, Hales and Tom Moores compiled a fine unbeaten partnership to see the Outlaws to their target of 164 with an over to spare.

Hales’ man-of-the-match 71* was enough to secure Notts’ place in the Vitality Blast quarter-finals, at their opponents’ expense.

The fixture also saw Matthew Carter make an assured T20 debut, claiming the key wicket of Tom Kohler-Cadmore.
