Toss Prediction
The venue saw plenty of runs being scored in both the innings in last week's game between Worcestershire and Warwickshire. Once again, the pitch is expected to remain good for batting for the entire duration of the match and since it would be difficult to predict a safe first-innings total here, the toss-winning captain will probably elect to bowl first.

Worcestershire Team News & Playing 11
WORCS Team News
Worcestershire Rapids do not have any injury issues ahead of their clash against Yorkshire Vikings and we do not expect them to make any changes to their line-up for this upcoming match.
WORCS Key Players
Martin Guptill has already smashed a couple of fifties in this year's Vitality Blast. The opener is looking at his best and he is expected to come out all guns blazing in this match. Another key man in this batting line-up is Daryl Mitchell who has scored the most runs for Worcestershire in the 20-overs format. Ross Whiteley has a strike-rate of 152 in T20s and the team's middle-order batting will depend mainly on him. Patrick Brown and Ed Barnard have taken five wickets each in three matches and they seem to be the main threats in this pace attack. Brett DOliveira has 34 T20 wickets to his name and he will be Worcestershire's go-to man when it comes to spin.
WORCS Recent Form
Worcestershire Rapids have made a brilliant start to their Vitality Blast campaign with wins in their first three matches. They beat Lancashire Lightning by five wickets in their opening game and then secured a four-run victory over the Birmingham Bears before handing a six-wicket defeat to Derbyshire. Worcestershire have so far been impressive in both batting and bowling departments.

Yorkshire Team News & Playing 11
YORKS Team News
None of their players were reported to be injured at the time of writing and so Yorkshire Vikings are set to go into this game full strength. The team is likely to retain the same group of eleven from their last game.
YORKS Key Players
Adam Lyth and Gary Ballance are amongst the leading run-getters for Yorkshire in T20 cricket. Both have had a good hit this season and the team will back them for a strong batting performance against Worcestershire. Jonathan Tattersall struck an unbeaten 53 against Durham and he will look to make another notable contribution here. Tim Bresnan can also hit the ball a fair distance and he adds a lot of strength in the lower-middle order. The former England player is one of the most successful bowlers in the side and he will have a big role to play with the ball as well. Steven Patterson and Azeem Rafiq have also done well for Yorkshire in the past. The latter has 89 T20 wickets under his belt and the off-spinner could trouble the batsmen in this game.
YORKS Recent Form
Yorkshire Vikings currently find themselves outside of the top four in the North Group standings and they will be looking to move up the table when they face Worcestershire on Sunday. They started off pretty well with an emphatic 44-run victory in the first game against the Durham Jets but received an eight-wicket thrashing at the hands of Birmingham Bears in their next match.
Yorkshire Predicted Playing 11
