Led by Samit Patel, they won by 108 runs at Kibworth. Harry Came led off with 62 from 37 balls, before Patel scored 53 from 24 balls, with four sixes and five fours. Mitch Wagstaff made 43, while there were breezy unbeaten twenties from Alex Thomson and 20 year old Curtis Heaphy, a wicket keeper bat from Central Districts in New Zealand. He is over on the recommendation of batting coach, Ben Smith.
Derbyshire amassed an imposing 223-3 in their twenty overs and with Pat Brown, Sam Conners and Nick Potts leading the attack they took early wickets.
Swindells and Evans launched a recovery, but the damage was done by leg spin, as Wagstaff took 3-18 and fellow leggie, Harris Ajaz took 4-19. Ajaz is part of the Academy and plays his cricket for Coventry North Warwick.
Leicestershire were all out for 115 and the scorecard and video clips can be seen here
