Lancashire Lightning vs Yorkshire Vikings Team Preview

Lancashire Lightning

In the previous game, Lancashire scored a total of 177 runs to win by a margin of 27 runs. In the top order, Jos Buttler was the standout with the bat, scoring 83 runs off 39 balls. In the last game, Liam Livingston came in at the No. 3 spot and scored 47 runs in 30 balls during a crucial cameo. When the team most needed it, Philip Salt, Lewis Wells, and Steven Croft contributed with critical runs.

There is no information on any significant injuries to any of the players, and the 15-man squad has not been revealed. Since Lancashire has performed well in recent games, it is likely that they will start the game with the same lineup. Saqib Mahmood could be able to get a look in if he’s available.

Yorkshire Vikings

Yorkshire scored 49/1 in their 8.1 overs before the game was interrupted by weather. This season, Dawid Malan has been their go-to batsman, amassing 546 runs and 5 fifties. Shan Masood (189 runs), David Wiese (197 runs), and Adam Lyth (237 runs) all contributed valiant knocks to the formation of partnerships over the games.

After three straight losses, Yorkshire has lost its way, but they are still in the playoff fight. They must, however, win their final league game before hoping for favorable results in subsequent contests. They will probably use the same team as well.

Lancashire Lightning vs Yorkshire Vikings outfield report

Emirates Old Trafford Manchester

Teams batting second in the past four games have won two and lost two.  Because of the cloudy weather, captains may be inclined to bowl first.

On June 30, there is a 50% chance of rain. With an average temperature of around 15 degrees, the weather will also be on the chilly side.  

The surface will have some juice for the bowlers because it hasn’t been used much during the competition. The new ball might be a little challenging to face, but if batters get set, the pitch should produce significant runs.
