Middlesex vs Yorkshire Chances of Winning
Middlesex kept Northamptonshire on their toes despite having faced a mammoth task of chasing down 552 runs. Nathan Fernandes, Max Holden and Leus du Plooy were in a league of their own since they were able to amass 103, 211 and 196 runs, respectively, to give Middlesex a fighting chance against Northamptonshire’s total. They scored just enough to surpass Northamptonshire by exactly one run but the match did not have a satisfying result since there was no play on day four, ending this thrilling battle in a draw.
Yorkshire remained ahead of Gloucestershire by a hair in their previous outing as the former batted first and posted a mediocre total of 326 runs. Ideally, Gloucestershire should have been on par with the score but they trailed behind and were bundled out for 263 runs. Yorkshire had to solidify their position with a defendable score so as to not put too much on the bowlers, and they did exactly that with a score of 434 in the second innings. Gloucestershire came close given that they added 405 runs to their original tally but a lack of time brought the game to a close in a draw.
- Middlesex chance of winning - 28%
- Yorkshire chance of winning - 72%

Middlesex vs Yorkshire Betting Tips
Yorkshire to score high before first dismissal
Save for one innings against Gloucestershire, Adam Lyth and Finlay Bean are bringing the firepower to the opening wicket that Yorkshire need. In their solitary innings against Leicestershire, the duo smashed 45 runs together before their first dismissal. There was a minor dip in the next match where Bean did not survive the first over and concluded his partnership with Lyth after a single run was scored. However, Bean found his footing subsequently in the second innings and when it finally clicked, he helped Yorkshire secure an opening stand of 180 runs. If he continues to perform in this manner, Yorkshire stands a good chance of achieving a brilliant score before their first dismissal.
Middlesex vs Yorkshire Toss Prediction
Lord’s appeared to be a batting paradise in the last match where Middlesex and Glamorgan took on each other and competed at a very high level. Glamorgan posted a seemingly unachievable total but Middlesex outperformed them immediately as they took to chasing. Since it worked for the latter, the toss winning side will want to field first and chase a target.

Middlesex vs Yorkshire Betting Odds
Yorkshire to have a better opening partnership than Middlesex
Mark Stoneman and Nathan Fernandes who open the batting for Middlesex were not too shabby against Northamptonshire, having collaborated for 33 runs at which point the former lost his wicket. In contrast, Yorkshire made a rocky start to their first innings against Gloucestershire as Finlay Bean faced an early departure after a single run was scored. However, Adam Lyth and Finlay Bean bounced back rather quickly and garnered 180 runs together in the second innings before the opposition could finally take a wicket. Yorkshire were substantially better than Middlesex and will be expected to set up a much better first wicket partnership than the latter.

Middlesex vs Yorkshire Best Batters
Max Holden to be Middlesex’s Best Batter
Max Holden emerged as Middlesex’s leading batter as he scored a whopping 211 runs against Northamptonshire. He also achieved a half-century in the team’s first match of the season, having scored 53 runs. With 264 runs under his belt in two innings, he will be the top choice for the next match.
Adam Lyth to be Yorkshire’s Best Batter
Adam Lyth, Yorkshire’s opening batsman, leads Yorkshire’s run charts with 221 runs in three innings. He achieved his second century of the season against Gloucestershire last time around, wherein he amassed 113 runs in the second innings. He is highly consistent and although he was not the leading batter for Yorkshire during the last game, we pin our hopes on him to pull off another big total.
