Lancashire Team News & Playing 11
Jos Buttler has had two good scores in two games now. The wicketkeeper-batsman scored 59 against Durham and 39 against Leicestershire. He seems to be in fine form at the moment and will be Lancashire's best hope with the bat against Yorkshire. Danny Lamb took three wickets in the last game including two key top-order batsmen and he will be a bowler to watch out for. Lancashire's bowling attack could get a boost with the Pakistani ace bowler Junaid Khan expected to play this game and Yorkshire will look to play him out with caution.

Yorkshire Team News & Playing 11
The team's batting is going to revolve mainly around Adam Lyth, David Willey and Shaun Marsh who all have had a good hit. With back-to-back fifties, Lyth appears to be the man in form and the opener is likely to get another big score for Yorkshire in this match. Paceman Steven Patterson and legspinner Adil Rashid will be the key figures for Yorkshire with the ball. Both have picked up four and two wickets respectively so far while being fairly economical at the same time.

Lancashire vs Yorkshire Betting Odds
Both teams will be coming after having faced defeats in their previous respective matches that went all the way down to the wire. While Lancashire lost to Leicestershire by three wickets, Yorkshire went down to Derbyshire by three runs. There is plenty of good talent on either side and as such there is very little difference in match odds of both the teams. While Lancashire are 1.9 with betfair to win this match, Yorkshire are slightly on the shorter side at 1.27 with the same bookmaker.
Lancashire vs Yorkshire Prediction
Lancashire and Yorkshire have played 23 matches against each other in the past and both have won 11 matches each with the remaining one match having resulted in a tie. So neither will have an edge over the other as far as head-to-head count goes. However, the one thing that will give Lancashire an upper hand going into this game is the fact that they defeated Yorkshire at this ground in the 2016 NatWest T20 Blast. They also have the advantage of playing on their home ground and will have the support of the crowd behind them. We thus predict Lancashire to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Lancashire Lightning to beat Yorkshire Vikings at 1.9 with betfair.
