Yorkshire Vikings have a team including players who impressed in The Hundred with Northern Superchargers. They had a strong group stage and look like a team who could go far in the T20 Blast.

Yorkshire Team News & Playing 11
YORKS Team News
As ever, with a county of quality players, Yorkshire Vikings do not have a full squad to pick from with Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow preparing for the England v India Third Test. The team fell away badly in the latter stages of the South Group but had performed fantastically earlier in the tournament.
YORKS Key Players
- Adam Lyth - The former England opener hit two half-centuries in the North Group and provides vital experience for his home-county club.
- Harry Brook - The young batsman has been tipped for international honours in the near future after impressing in every format this season.
- Adil Rashid - The England leg-spinner missed a large chunk of the group stage due to being on international duty but will be a valuable attacking weapon for his side in this game.
Yorkshire Vikings lost four of their last five T20 Blast group games but have players who are in good individual white ball form.
Yorkshire Predicted Playing 11
Adam Lyth, David Willey (c), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Harry Brook, Gary Ballance, Jordan Thompson, Harry Duke (wk), Adil Rashid, Dom Bess, Matthew Waite, Matt Fisher
Sussex Team News & Playing 11
SUS Team News
The South Coast based side are without Ollie Robinson who is on England duty and Jofra Archer who is unavailable for the rest of the year through injury. Rashid Khan was impressive in the Men’s Hundred competition for Trent Rockets and is in fine form.
SUS Key Players
- Phil Salt - The wicket-keeper batsman began the tournament in scintillating form and was rewarded with a call-up to England’s ODI side for the Pakistan series.
- Luke Wright - Sussex Sharks' captain has plenty of white ball experience to fall back on. He has played in many of the top franchise leagues and was part of England’s T20 World Cup winning side in 2010.
- George Garton - The left-arm bowler got his first international call-up earlier this season after successive seasons of quality performances. He is also a useful lower order batsman.
SUS Team Form
The Sharks defeated top of the South Group Kent Spitfires by 4 wickets in their last Vitality T20 Blast fixture and come into this game with players at the top of their game.
Sussex Predicted Playing 11
Phil Salt (wk), Luke Wright (c), Ravi Bopara, Delray Rawlins, Travis Head, David Wiese, Harrison Ward, Rashid Khan, Chris Jordan, George Garton, Will Beer
