In the first of two Vitality Blast matches to strike Trent Bridge this week, read on for a breakdown of the Outlaws against Yorkshire - by the numbers.
Tickets, priced at just £10 for adults and £5 for juniors with no on-the-day price rise, are still available.
I’M FEELING 22
Notts have an outstanding record in the overall head-to-head against Yorkshire, having won 22 games against the White Rose outfit to just 12 defeats.
The Outlaws have twice won four matches in a row against Yorkshire, but, understandably, the most unmatched period of Notts dominance was between 2017 and 2021.
Notwithstanding two washouts, the Outlaws went eight matches without defeat to the Headingley side during that run.
A WIN INSIDE FOUR OVERS
The eighth match of that run, in July 2021, was perhaps the most one-sided of all, as in a rain-reduced affair, Notts earned victory in just 3.4 overs of their chase.
In pursuit of the White Rose’s 60-3, set in seven overs, Alex Hales slammed 31 from just nine balls and Peter Trego added 29 in 13 to hand the Outlaws a crushing ten-wicket win.
SAMIT’S 30 SCALPS
Samit Patel had returned figures of 1/7 from two overs in that match, and his scalp - that of a then-little-known 22-year-old named Harry Brook - was one of 30 against Yorkshire that he ended his Notts career with.
He leads the way among Outlaws bowlers in the fixture from the 19 claimed by Luke Fletcher and Harry Gurney’s 17, and his best return against the White Rose was the 3/17 he took in 2013.
ANOTHER FIVE-FER FOR FLETCHER
While Patel has the overall lead in wickets taken, the best figures by an Outlaws bowler against Yorkshire actually fall to Fletcher, who took 5/43 in 2020.
Having picked up his first by removing former Notts man Will Fraine in the 18th over, Fletcher ran riot at the death, taking his next four scalps in the space of nine balls.
From 160-3, Yorkshire disintegrated to 190 all out, and Notts completed the chase with four balls to spare and six wickets in hand.
HAYNES HAMMERS A FIERY FIFTY
Another victory for Notts in the fixture came last year at Headingley, when Jack Haynes slammed 50 from just 21 balls on the way to a 28-run Outlaws triumph.
His innings, which included six fours and three sixes, had a strike rate of 238.10, which gave him the third-highest strike rate of any Outlaws batter against Yorkshire.
