Yorkshire Team News & Playing 11
Tom Kohler-Cadmore has finally found form with the bat. The opener has had two good games back-to-back with scores of 45 and 75 which makes him the one to watch out for in this batting lineup. Shaun Marsh too hit a fifty in the last match and he will be another key man at the top. Tim Bresnan has done an excellent job for Yorkshire with the ball. The pace bowler has notched up 17 wickets so far in the season and he is more likely to cause problems for Northamptonshire.

Northamptonshire Team News & Playing 11
They have a pretty strong top-order batting with the likes of Richard Levi, Adam Rossington and Ben Duckett. The three have made good contributions for the team and so they will be expected to set the tone for the batsmen to follow. With 13 wickets from 10 matches, Rory Kleinveldt is currently Northamptonshire's leading wicket-taker and the South African fast bowler will have a crucial role to play in this match.

Yorkshire vs Northamptonshire Prediction
Northamptonshire Steelbacks and Yorkshire Vikings have won four matches each out of the nine they have played against each other in the NatWest T20 Blast tournament with the remaining one having resulted in a tie. However, one area where the former have an upper hand is in the fact that they have beaten the latter three times out of four at this ground. But having said that, Yorkshire have won the two most recent encounters between the two sides. They also have a phenomenal record at the Headingley with 10 wins in their last 11 matches. So due to their healthy home record, we feel Yorkshire are slightly better placed to emerge victorious in this match.
Final Verdict: Back Yorkshire Vikings to beat Northamptonshire Steelbacks in this North Group fixture of the NatWest T20 Blast 2017.
