Vitality Blast 2023 Cricket Prediction | North Group: Yorkshire Vikings vs Worcestershire Rapids

Yorkshire Vikings vs Worcestershire Rapids at a Glance

• We predict Yorkshire’s left-hander Dawid Malan will score the most runs in this game because he has been the team’s most reliable batter so far this season.
• After his performance in the previous game, Jordan Thompson is eager to play again. We predict him to be Yorkshire’s leading wicket-taker versus Worcestershire.
• Pat Brown frequently picks up wickets in this sport despite the fact that he may give up a lot of runs. He would likely be the top wicket-taker for Worcestershire versus Yorkshire.

Yorkshire Vikings vs Worcestershire Rapids Team Preview

Yorkshire Vikings

The clubs from first to sixth place in the North Group, including Yorkshire, are all tied on eight points at the top of the standings. Prior to four games ago, the Vikings had not experienced victory, but they are currently aiming for their fifth straight triumph.  

After losing openers Adam Lyth and Dawid Malan for the single-figure score, Yorkshire’s most recent success, a 30-run victory over Leicestershire Foxes, was all the more remarkable. The Vikings were in trouble at 78-7 when David Wiese (50 not out) and Ben Mike (30 not out) helped them to a respectable total.

Worcestershire Rapids

The Rapids had a strong start to the Vitality T20 Blast 2023 but faltered in their last two matches, losing to Lancashire Lightning by 4 wickets and Northamptonshire Steelbacks by 6 wickets. They are still in first place going into this game, though.

In the Rapids’ loss against Lancashire Lightning, New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Santner scored 57 runs from 33 balls. The New Zealander, who just arrived after winning the IPL with Chennai Super Kings, has dramatically improved his batting over the past 24 months.

Vitality Blast 2023 Cricket Prediction | North Group: Yorkshire Vikings vs Worcestershire Rapids

Teams that bat first in T20 matches in Leeds have a win rate of more than 60%. In this match, we believe that both captains will opt to bat first.

Today will begin gloomily, but as the morning progresses, the majority of the clouds will move eastward, leaving the afternoon largely sunny. Also a little bit warmer.

There is considerable pace on the pitch, but there is also some movement for quick and spin bowlers.
