Yorkshire vs Lancashire Prediction & Betting Tips, Vitality T20 Blast
Yorkshire Vikings and Lancashire Lightning meet in the roses clash in the North Group of the Vitality T20 Blast on Friday evening in Leeds. Yorkshire Vikings are 2nd in the North Group with Lancashire Lightning in 5th, three points behind. Both sides have four group games remaining this season. This match will get underway at Emerald Headingley at 18:30 local time.
Yorkshire have stumbled in recent games with defeats to Birmingham Bears and Leicestershire Foxes. However, they are 2nd in the table and with a strong end to the group stage could easily finish in 1st place. They are unbeaten at Headingley in this year’s T20 Blast.
Lancashire Lightning ended their run of five games without a win when they beat Worcestershire Rapids by 34 runs on Thursday evening. That victory has reignited their hopes of finishing in the top four and a win in this match could see them back in the play-off places.

YORKS vs LANCS Match Toss Prediction
Both sides prefer to win the toss and post a target. In spite of Yorkshire Vikings being bowled out for 81 batting first in their last game, we expect the captains on both teams to choose to bat.

There have been plenty of high scoring games at Headingley in this year’s T20 Blast. Yorkshire Vikings hit 224-3 in their last game here and scores over 200 should be the par score for both sides.

Yorkshire Team News & Playing 11
YORKS Team News
England’s international games against Sri Lanka have come at the wrong time for Yorkshire Vikings who suddenly are without Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, David Willey and Adil Rashid. However, the team will be very keen to right the wrongs of the 81 all out at Edgbaston earlier in the week.
YORKS Key Players
- Adam Lyth - The captain was one of only two Yorkshire Vikings players to make double figures against Birmingham Bears. He has one half-century in this year’s tournament and is expected to deliver runs.
- Harry Brook - Whilst the rest of the team were getting bowled out for 81 against Birmingham Bears, Brook made a 24-ball unbeaten 28. He is one of two players to have hit 370 runs in this year’s competition.
- Lockie Ferguson - The New Zealand pace bowler has gone wicketless in the last three games as Yorkshire Vikings have lost two. He needs to regain his magic touch for the good of his team as soon as possible.
Unbeaten at home in the tournament but two defeats in three has left the side looking worriedly over their shoulder as the final games approach.

Lancashire Team News & Playing 11
LANCS Team News
Without Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone on England duty, Lancashire have struggled in recent games. However, their win over Worcestershire Rapids on Thursday has given the table a much healthier look. We expect an unchanged side for this local derby.
LANCS Key Players
- Finn Allen - The New Zealand opener came to the T20 Blast with a glowing reputation after a successful T20 season back home. Lancashire need him to produce more at the top of the order to get them into the top four.
- Saqib Mahmood - the international paceman has only featured in three games in the tournament but already has 7 wickets. He finished with wickets in successive balls to secure the win over Worcestershire Rapids.
- Matt Parkinson - Lancashire’s leading wicket taker is a regular at the top end of wicket takers in the T20 Blast each season. He usually keeps the runs down whilst dismissing batsmen.
Before the win over Worcestershire Rapids, Lancashire Lightning’s form in the competition was wretched. They will be hoping the win will reignite their campaign.
