Lancashire are favourites to win
Lancashire Lightning and Yorkshire Vikings go head to head in Manchester on Friday evening in the 2022 T20 Blast. Lancashire Lightning got as far as the Quarter Finals in 2021 before being beaten by Somerset. Yorkshire Vikings also lost in the last eight. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at the Emirates Old Trafford at 18:30 local time.
Lancashire Lightning are always backed by a passionate crowd in Manchester, particularly when Roses rivals Yorkshire Vikings are in town. Lightning have a top order full of white ball specialists.
Yorkshire Vikings were way too strong for Worcestershire Rapids on Wednesday and won the game with 7 wickets and 11 balls to spare. They have a strong squad who will push Lancashire Lightning all the way in this fixture.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports in the UK.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on the Fan Code app; the ECB website and app; and SkyGo.
Yorkshire Vikings lost the toss on Wednesday and were asked to field first before going on to win the game. Conditions will not change a huge amount from innings to innings and we predict that both teams will want to chase.
Expect a quick wicket in Manchester which will be welcomed by pace bowlers and batters on both sides. There will also be turn and bounce for the spinners on this surface.
No rain with cool conditions during the match. The temperature will be no higher than 13 degrees throughout the game.

Dane Vilas’ team have plenty of riches at their disposal but will be without key-batter Jos Buttler, who is still involved in the 2022 IPL, and pace bowler Saqib Mahmood who is out for the season with a stress fracture. However, in spite of the unavailability of those two players, they will still take to the field with a very strong XI.
Lancashire Lightning completed the group stage with three successive victories in 2021. Although they lost to eventual runners-up Somerset last year, they have plenty of players in good individual form ahead of this match of T20 Blast 2022.
Liam Livingstone, Phil Salt (wk), Tim David, Dane Vilas (c), Josh Bohanon, Luke Wells, Steven Croft, Danny Lamb, Tom Bailey, Matt Parkinson, Richard Gleeson
As expected, England internationals Jonny Bairstow and captain David Willey were both unavailable for Wednesday’s opening fixture and neither will be available for this Roses clash. Former England skipper Joe Root captained the side against Worcestershire Rapids and we expect him to do the job again in this game.
After finishing the group stage in poor form and being knocked out in the quarter final, Yorkshire Vikings got a much needed win to kick off this season on Wednesday.
Adam Lyth, Dawid Malan, Tom Kohler-Cadmore (wk), Joe Root (c), Harry Brook, Shadab Khan, Jordan Thompson, Dom Bess, Matthew Revis, Adil Rashid, Haris Rauf
Lancashire Lightning have won six of the last seven T20 Blast games against Yorkshire Vikings. The visitors have not won successive games against Lancashire Lightning since 2011.

Yorkshire Vikings are narrow favourites with the bookies ahead of this local derby. However, we think that home advantage will be decisive and are backing Lancashire Lightning to win.
Although long-term England players Joe Root and Dawid Malan will be playing in this game, the spectators will be most excited about seeing Liam Livingstone, Phil Salt and Harry Brook at the crease.
Liam Livingstone, Phil Salt and Tim David are our batting recommendations for Lancashire Lightning. Tim David is a regular in the top T20 tournaments across the globe and averages 34.14 with the bat.
Dawid Malan, Joe Root and Harry Brook are our batting tips for Yorkshire Vikings. Malan has scored five centuries in domestic T20 tournaments and is comfortable batting on any type of wicket.
For Lancashire Lightning, Matt Parkinson, Richard Gleeson and Danny Lamb are our bowling tips. Gleeson bowls at a good pace and has taken 50 wickets in the T20 Blast from 2016 onwards.
For Yorkshire Vikings, Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan and Jordan Thompson are our bowling tips. Rauf took 1-32 against Worcestershire Rapids and bowled Ed Barnard.
Although Lancashire Lightning have only won one T20 Blast title, they have been remarkably consistent over recent years and have reached the knockout stage in each of the last four seasons. Yorkshire Vikings impressed in their opening day win over Worcestershire Rapids on Wednesday but we are backing Lancashire in this game.
