Yorkshire are favorites to win
Yorkshire Vikings welcome their regional and historical rivals Lancashire Lightning to Leeds on Wednesday evening in the 2022 Vitality Blast. The Vikings have seven points from six games and are in fourth place of the North Group. Lightning have won five from six and are top of the group. Read on as we preview this derby game. The match begins at Headingley at 18:30 local time.
Yorkshire Vikings often save their best home performances for the arrival of Lancashire Lightning and they will be desperate to go one step better after tieing the return fixture in Manchester earlier in the tournament.
Lancashire Lightning are unbeaten in the 2022 T20 Blast but will be wary that Yorkshire Vikings have come closest to defeating them. However, Lightning have won five in a row and have been the strongest team in the competition.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports in the UK.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on the Fan Code app; the ECB website and app; and SkyGo.
Three captains have chosen to bat first and two have chosen to field first after winning the toss at Headingley so far in the competition. We predict that both skippers will want to bat first before the potential arrival of rain.
The home side have hit over 200 in both of their last two games with the opposition sides making 179-7 and 207-8. Expect to see plenty of boundaries with batters and pace bowlers enjoying the wicket.
Cloudy throughout with a chance of rain from 21:00 onwards in Leeds. The temperature will not exceed 16 degrees but there will be high humidity.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Yorkshire vs Lancashire, Vitality T20 Blast 2022.
Harry Brook is expected to be given permission by the ECB to play in this game ahead of joining up as a back-up player for England’s second Test against New Zealand later in the week. Dominic Drakes has picked up five wickets from two games and is a big part of the bowling attack.
Yorkshire Vikings have won their last two games in the competition and once again have their eyes trained on the top places in the North Group.
Adam Lyth, Dawid Malan, Finn Allen, David Willey (c), Harry Brook, Jonathan Tattersall (wk), Jordan Thompson, Dominic Drakes, Matthew Revis, Adil Rashid, Jack Shutt
Fresh from taking his first Test wicket on the weekend, Matt Parkinson returned to Lancashire colours and dismissed fellow spinner Rehan Ahmed on Tuesday. Parkinson will play in this game before joining up with England down the road in Nottingham.
No team has been as impressive as Lancashire Lightning so far in the tournament. They are unbeaten and have won their last five matches.
Phil Salt (wk), Keaton Jennings, Liam Livingstone, Steven Croft, Dane Vilas (c), Tim David, Luke Wood, Danny Lamb, Tom Hartley, Richard Gleeson, Matt Parkinson
The last T20 Blast meeting between the two sides, on May 27, saw them tie the game. It was the first time a Roses T20 Blast game had ended all square.

After the last game finished in a tie, the bookies are once again expecting a very close game. Home advantage gives Yorkshire Vikings the title of favourites ahead of this clash.
Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone are both seen as the batting stars of their counties and we expect both to put on a show in this game. Dawid Malan and Adam Lyth will also be crucial at the top of the order for Yorkshire.
Dawid Malan, Harry Brook and Adam Lyth are our batting recommendations for Yorkshire Vikings. Malan has the ability to win a game on his own and was rested from the last game to ensure he was fully fit for this clash.
Liam Livingstone, Keaton Jennings and Phil Salt are our batting tips for Lancashire Lightning. Due to the power of Lightning’s middle order, openers Jennings and Salt are given free reign to be aggressive from ball one.
For Yorkshire Vikings, David Willey, Dominic Drakes and Jordan Thompson are our bowling tips. Drakes has plenty of experience from short-format leagues across the globe and has impressed in his appearances for the Vikings.
For Lancashire Lightning, Luke Wood, RIchard Gleeson and Tom Hartley are our bowling tips. Wood took 2-36 in the tied match at Old Trafford earlier in the tournament.
It is going to require a very impressive team performance to defeat Lancashire Lightning in their current form but we predict that Yorkshire Vikings have enough quality and depth in their team to do it. We expect another very close game between the sides and are backing the home team to get the victory.
