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.

Match Details Venue: Headingley, Leeds Date and Time: June 08, 2022, 11:00 PM IST Live Streaming: FanCode 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. Probable best bowler of the match Dominic Drakes Dominic Drakes was the most effective bowler for Yorkshire in their last fixture against Nottinghamshire. He completely applied brakes on Nottingham’s batters during their stiff-run chase as he accounted for some of their important batters. Drakes was the pick of the bowlers for his side and finished with figures of 3/31 from his four overs. Today’s match prediction: Lancashire to win the match.
