Royal London One-Day Cup 2019: Worcestershire vs Yorkshire: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

The game between Worcestershire and Yorkshire will be a do-or-die game for both the teams considering their performances in the North Group thus far. Worcester team has won four of their six matches and are placed at No.4 in the points table. They need at least one more win from the last two games to make it to the playoffs. Victories in the last two matches will confirm their berth without relying on the results of remaining matches.

On the other hand, Yorkshire kept their playoff hopes alive following their win against the Northamptonshire in a rain-affected game. Yorkshire won only two of their six matches while two games ended without a result. They need to win both their matches from here on to finish in the top three. Yorkshire would be going down if they stand equal with 10 points as other teams gain edge having won more games.
