Yorkshire Team News & Playing 11
David Willey is currently ranking among the season's top five batsmen. He looked fluent in his 29-ball 40 after picking up a couple of wickets in the last match against Durham and Yorkshire will hope that the allrounder is able to do the job again with both bat and ball. Adil Rashid has been their best bowler so far with 11 wickets from 9 matches. The legspinner has gone wicketless in his last two games and he is expected to bounce back with a strong performance here.

Lancashire Team News & Playing 11
Jos Buttler is the man for Lancashire when it comes to batting. The wicketkeeper-batsman has scored three fifties this season, one of which came in the last game against Leicestershire. Opening batsman Karl Brown hit 61 in the reverse fixture and Lancashire will expect something similar from him this time as well. Ryan McLaren had the best bowling figures in that match and the South African pacer is likely to cause a few problems for Yorkshire once again.

Yorkshire vs Lancashire Betting Odds
So far, it has been a similar story for Yorkshire and Lancashire as both have four wins, four losses and one tie from 11 matches. However, it is Yorkshire who are favorites to win this match among the bookmakers at 1.83 with 1xbet and 1.80 with Bet365 despite having faced defeats in their previous three matches. This must be due to the home advantage as they have been hard to overcome at the Headingley in recent times. Lancashire are up at 2.1 with Betfair and 2 with Bet365.
Yorkshire vs Lancashire Prediction
Yorkshire and Lancashire have played 24 matches against each other in the past with both winning 11 matches each and the remaining two resulting in ties. Lancashire however will feel more confident from the fact that they have lost just once in the past five encounters against them. But they will also be wary of Yorkshire's recent performance at home. Headingley has been a happy hunting ground for the hosts where they have won 9 of their last 11 matches and this includes four out of the five they have played so far this season. So although there isn't much to choose between the two sides, we predict Yorkshire to win this battle largely due to their incredible home record.
Final Verdict: Back Yorkshire Vikings to beat Lancashire Lightning in this North Group fixture of the NatWest T20 Blast 2017 at 1.83 with 1xbet and 1.80 with Bet365
