Warwickshire vs Yorkshire Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 Blast 2023
Warwickshire and Yorkshire Vikings go head to head in the North Group of the 2023 T20 Blast on Saturday evening. The Bears finished top of the North Group last year but were knocked out in the quarter finals by Hampshire Hawks. The Vikings lost in the semi finals to Lanacashire Lightning. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at Edgbaston at 18:30 local time.
Warwickshire were very impressive in the group stage last year but will want to progress further in 2023. They have some very talented players and should be too strong in front of their passionate home support.
Yorkshire Vikings are always able to put out a team with big names and expectation will be high in their squad. We expect them to give Warwickshire a very good game.

Warwickshire Team News & Playing 11
WAS Team News
Like some of the other top teams in the tournament, Warwickshire will be without some of their best players for this opening fixture. Skipper Moeen Ali and Glenn Maxwell are both integral members of their IPL teams and will join up with the Bears when their tournament ends.
WAS Key Players
- Paul Stirling - The 32 year old Irish opener has been brought in on a short-term deal to cover for Glenn Maxwell and will be keen to make an impact in the games he plays.
- Chris Benjamin - The 24 year old keeper-batter made a name for himself with some brilliant batting displays in the Men’s Hundred. He is an aggressive batter.
- Jake Lintott - The left-arm spinner was only playing cricket part-time a few years ago but has since taken up T20 contracts in the Caribbean Premier League and has good control over his line and length.
WAS Team Form
The Bears lost their final group stage game in 2022 before losing their quarter final so will be keen to get back to winning ways in this match.

Yorkshire Team News & Playing 11
YOR Team News
Shan Masood will lead Yorkshire Vikings in this tournament and has a strong squad to select from ahead of this game in spite of the likes of Joe Root, Adil Rashid and Harry Brook absent due to the IPL. In Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan, Yorkshire have a very powerful batting line-up.
YOR Key Players
- Adam Lyth - The left-handed opener hit over 500 runs in last year’s tournament and he is now a regular in overseas white ball tournaments.
- Jordan Thompson - The all-rounder has impressed in the Big Bash League over recent seasons and regularly contributed useful lower order runs as well as big numbers of wickets.
- Matthew Fisher - The right arm fast medium bowler made his England debut last year but then suffered a back injury. He bowls with good pace and gets movement off the surface.
YOR Team Form
Yorkshire Vikings won only one of their last four matches in the T20 Blast last year but have a strong squad who should be competitive again this season.

🏆 Warwickshire vs Yorkshire Prediction
Any T20 Blast game at Edgbaston is likely to be a noisy affair with the crowd getting involved in every ball. With Adam Lyth, Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan in the batting line-up, Yorkshire Vikings have an opportunity to make a big score but we do think that their bowling is a little light. Our prediction is for a very close game but for Warwickshire to win the contest.
