Worcestershire are favourites to win
With two wins in two games, Worcestershire Rapids have earned 4 points and are currently leading the points table of their group. Yorkshire Vikings suffered a heavy defeat in their opening match against Leicestershire and are at the bottom of the table. The two North Group teams will face each other on June 2 at the County Ground in Worcester. While Worcestershire will look to extend their winning spree, Yorkshire will do their best to open their account in this year's Natwest T20 Blast. The match is scheduled to begin at 5:30 PM local time.
Read on for our betting tips and match prediction for Worcestershire Rapids vs Yorkshire Vikings Natwest T20 Blast 2016...
Their top order failed to click in the last match against Warwickshire but their middle-order stepped up and saved the day for them. Brett D'Oliveira has displayed good performances with the bat in both the games with scores of 39 and 62 respectively. The allrounder should be backed for the 'Man of the Match' award on Thursday. Though Tom Kohler-Cadmore was dismissed cheaply in the last match, his 127 off 54 balls against Durham makes him a worthy top-batsman bet.
Worcestershire bowlers bowled well to defend their total of 161. Joe Leach was impressive once again as he picked up two wickets in the match. The fast bowler also took 5 wickets against Durham and he will be the best betting option for the top-bowler. Mitchell Santner took a couple of wickets in the first match and Matt Henry also has a wicket in each match.
Their batting fell apart while chasing 174 in their opening match against Leicestershire. Except Will Rhodes who top-scored for his side with a 26-ball 45, no other batsman managed to reach 20. Gary Ballance made a promising start to his innings but could not convert it into a big one. Their top-order will have to perform against Worcestershire on Thursday if they are to have any chance of winning.
Liam Plunkett was the pick of the bowlers for Yorkshire as he bagged two wickets with an excellent economy rate of 5.75. Tim Bresnan, with two wickets, was equally effective with the ball and the two pacers will go into the upcoming match with high betting odds in their favor. Leg-spinner Adil Rashid went wicketless but he will be expected to do well in the next match against Worcestershire.
Yorkshire Vikings are yet to reach the knockout stage of the Natwest T20 Blast tournament. With quality international players like Joe Root, Aaron Finch, Jonny Bairstow and Gary Ballance in their squad, they have a great opportunity to make the cut this year. On Thursday, they will be up against Worcestershire Rapids who have made it to the quarter finals each time. They have already begun this year's campaign in style with back-to-back victories, and they will have an upper hand against Yorkshire as they will be playing on their home ground.
Yorkshire Vikings do have what it takes to beat the strongest of the teams, but we feel that Worcestershire Rapids will be the favorites to win this match.
