Yorkshire Team News & Playing 11
YORKS Team News
Yorkshire made three changes to their side in the last match against Leicestershire. One of those was a forced change - Mathew Pillans replaced Matthew Fisher who dislocated his shoulder in the earlier game against Derbyshire. Jonathan Tattersall and Josh Poysden were dropped and replaced by Tim Bresnan and Duanne Olivier. The plan of promoting Nicholas Pooran to number three last time yielded good returns and the wicketkeeper is likely to continue to bat at the top of the order.
YORKS Key Players
Adam Lyth: He has provided brisk starts to the team in both the matches. After scoring a 12-ball 21 against Derbyshire, the opener smashed 69 off 35 balls against Leicestershire and one can expect another strong showing from him.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore: The skipper failed to make a mark with the bat in the first game, but made a strong comeback in the last game with an unbeaten knock of 96 from 54 balls to power Yorkshire to a mammoth total of 255. Expect him to deliver another match-winning performance.
David Willey: He is a very capable batsman and can make healthy contributions with the bat, be it at the top or down the order. The all-rounder will probably lead Yorkshire's bowling attack once again and could hurt Lancashire with a few early strikes.
YORKS Recent Form
Yorkshire Vikings have so far played three matches in this year's Vitality Blast and are currently positioned fourth on the North Group points table with one win, a loss and a washout. After their opening encounter against Nottinghamshire was abandoned due to rain, Yorkshire suffered a five-wicket loss to Derbyshire at Chesterfield. But they have bounced back in the tournament with a dominating 54-run victory over Leicestershire in their last match at Leicester.

Lancashire Team News & Playing 11
LANCS Team News
Lancashire, in their last match against Durham, fielded the same group of eleven that they had picked for their rain-abandoned opening encounter against Leicestershire. Alex Davies and Steven Croft will open the batting again with Glenn Maxwell and skipper Dane Vilas taking up the number three and four slots respectively. Steven Croft opened the bowling alongside Toby Lester last time and they are likely to be given the new balls again.
LANCS Key Players
Alex Davies: The opening batsman was one of the leading run-scorers of last year where he scored 534 runs and cracked six half-centuries. He made 24 in the last game versus Durham and will look to play a big knock this time around.
Matthew Parkinson: The leg-spinner had finished as the second-best bowler of the tournament last time with 25 wickets. He was also the pick of the bowlers in the last game with figures of 3-30 and is expected to make an impact with the ball on Thursday as well.
Glenn Maxwell: The Australia international star looked at his best last time, scoring 58 runs off 33 deliveries. He has the ability to take the game away from the opposition very quickly and also provides the team an extra bowling option.
LANCS Recent Form
Lancashire Lightning are currently topping the North Group leaderboard with three points having played a couple of matches. They played their campaign opener against Leicestershire with whom they had to share points as the match ended in a washout. Lancashire faced Durham in their previous match at Manchester where they registered a thumping 72-run win.

Yorkshire vs Lancashire Betting Odds
Yorkshire enter this match as favorites to win at 1.83 with Betway, 1.80 with Bet365 and 1.74 with Betrally. Lancashire begin as the bookmakers' underdogs for this game and they have been priced a little higher at 2 on Bet365 and 1.90 on Betway and Betrally.
🏆 Yorkshire vs Lancashire Prediction
Both the teams are coming on the back of big wins - Yorkshire defeated Leicestershire by 54 runs while Lancashire beat Durham by 72 runs. Yorkshire will have the home advantage on their side and they won four out of their seven matches at this ground last year. Lancashire, however, have the upper hand in the fact that they have beaten Yorkshire five times in their previous seven attempts and even did the double over them last time. In Glenn Maxwell and James Faulkner, the visitors boast some serious quality in their side which is why we feel they have a better chance of winning this match.
