Leicestershire set out on the road to retain their title in winning fashion, beating Yorkshire by 13 runs.
Nixon hit 23 off just 18 deliveries.
A no result against Nottinghamshire followed.
The next opposition were Durham, and in a game reduced to 13 overs per side, the Foxes succumbed to an eight wicket defeat.
Nixon hit 16 off 15 balls and took a catch.

After a subdued start to the competition with the bat, Nixon then went on to record his highest ever Twenty20 score against Derbyshire.
He smashed 65 off 41 deliveries, thumping seven 4s and a 6, before being bowled by Graham Wagg, as Leicestershire got back to winning ways with a 6 wicket win.
He posted a partnership of 121 with Hylton Deon Ackerman and stumped Greg Smith after the South African had made 79.

Leicestershire then had games against Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Durham abandoned and the game against Lancashire ended with no result.

After having five of the first eight group games abandoned, the Foxes' hopes of retaining the trophy were ruined.
