Derbyshire Falcons vs Yorkshire Vikings Team Preview

Derbyshire Falcons

Derbyshire Falcons have seven points from nine games after a stalemate against Durham on Friday night, but they are still only three points behind Lancashire Lightning in third place. Earlier this month, they were defeated by Yorkshire Vikings by 7 wickets with 10 balls left.

Haider Ali blasted the final ball to the boundary for four to level the game after Falcons opener Luis Reece had scored 58 runs off of 47 balls at the top of the order against Durham. The strongest performance for Derbyshire Falcons on Friday came from 21-year-old Pakistani speed bowler Zaman Khan, who took 4-21 from his four overs.

Yorkshire Vikings

On Friday night, Yorkshire Vikings continued their remarkable T20 Blast season turnaround by defeating Leicestershire Foxes by an 8-wicket margin with 11 balls remaining. Since May 30th, they have now won each of their six games.

In either the North Group or the South Group, the Yorkshire Vikings are in the best shape of any team. It will be seven straight wins with a victory in this game. It was astonishing to see Yorkshire Vikings’ team start the tournament poorly given that Adam Lyth and Dawid Malan were playing in the starting positions. The three wicket-takers for Yorkshire Vikings who have been most reliable thus far in the season are David Wiese, Ben Mike, and Jordan Thompson.

Given that this will be the first game played here, we anticipate the wicket to provide something to the bowlers right away. In the second half, the batting circumstances will get better. The team that wins the toss in this match will wish to take advantage of it by choosing to bowl first.

On June 18, there will be cloud cover over Chesterfield.

At Queen’s Park in Chesterfield, this Vitality T20 Blast match will take place. We estimate that a par first-inning score will be no greater than 165 as this is never the easiest spot to bat.
