T20 Blast 2022: YOR vs LAN Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between Yorkshire and Lancashire?

Yorkshire will be locking horns with Lancashire in a North Group fixture of the T20 Blast 2022 at Headingley on June 8 (Wednesday). Both teams have been really impressive so far as they occupy the top three spots in the standings. Yorkshire are in the third position with three wins, two losses, and a tie from six matches. They have seven points to their tally. Yorkshire come into this clash after an impressive 23-run victory over Nottinghamshire.

Lancashire, on the other hand, have been one of the consistent sides in the ongoing season. They sit comfortably at the top having registered four victories from five games with the other match being a tie. They have nine points to their tally at an outstanding net run rate of +1.195. More importantly, Lancashire are yet to taste defeat this season.

Lancashire survived a scare in their game against Northamptonshire where they ended up registering a hard-fought two-wicket win with one ball left. Prior to their clash against Yorkshire, they would be in action against Leicestershire on June 7 and would be hoping to head into their next game on the back of a win.

Pitch Report

The Headingley wicket will be a belter where the ball would be expected to come nicely onto the bat and the batters would be eager to make merry on this surface once they are well set in the middle. A run-fest is pretty much on the cards and the bowlers will find it extremely difficult to maintain their lines and lengths on this pitch. Batting will be easy in the second innings and therefore, the captain winning the toss will look to bowl first.

Probable playing XI:

Yorkshire

Adam Lyth, Finn Allen, David Willey (c), Harry Brook, Will Fraine, Jonathan Tattersall (wk), Jordan Thompson, Adil Rashid, Dominic Drakes, Matthew Revis, Dominic Bess

Lancashire

Philip Salt (wk), Keaton Jennings, Liam Livingstone, Dane Vilas (c), Tim David, Steven Croft, Luke Wells, Danny Lamb, Luke Wood, Tom Hartley, Richard Gleeson

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match

Tim David

Tim David has been one of the most reliable batters for Lancashire and has also been in splendid form in the last couple of months. The Singaporean cricketer scored a precious 42 runs from 26 deliveries and successfully anchored Lancashire’s chase against Northamptonshire just when they seemed to lose the plot. The onus would be on the youngster to deliver with the bat yet again.
