Yorkshire’s performance in this T20 Blast lacked consistency in the bowling unit. The weather also played a key role for Yorkshire who had three of their eight matches getting washed out. They won only one game in the tournament thus far, against Leicestershire by 54 runs after posting a 250+ total. Yorkshire’s recent most completed game was against Warwickshire where they settled down with a Tie.

They will now host Derbyshire on Sunday which will be part of the KSL-T20 Blast double-header at the Leeds in Headingley. The KSL team Yorkshire Diamonds will be up against Loughborough Lightning. Taking about the T20 Blast game, Yorkshire’s opponent Derbyshire are placed at bottom of the table. They won two of their seven matches while another got washed out.


Match Details:

The North Group game in the Vitality T20 Blast 2019 will be played between Yorkshire Vikings and Derbyshire at the Headingley in Leeds.

The match starts at 3:00 PM local time (7:30 PM IST) (2:00 PM GMT).

Weather Condition/Report:

Since the game finishes before 7 PM local time, it is unlikely to get affected by the rain. Leeds is expected to be dry during the day. It could receive rainfall on Sunday but it will be mostly during the evenings.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The Headingley has recorded 170+ score in all three completed T20 matches in 2019. Since the game will be played on the track used for the KSL match, this pitch could well be a turner and aid the spinners extensively in the second half.
