Yorkshire vs Leicestershire Chances of Winning
Yorkshire had quite some trouble getting past Essex in the last game but they managed to do so by the end. Essex’s total of 243 was not a difficult chase at all but Yorkshire almost made a meal out of it by losing too many wickets. The openers were virtually of no help but skipper Shan Masood forged a partnership with James Wharton which set the tone of the innings. They scored 58 and 71, respectively, and lightened the burden on the rest of the batters. The other batters were not of much help either and bowler Dom Bess had to take matters into his own hands and it was his unbeaten 53 which ensured that Yorkshire’s chase was complete, winning by three wickets.
Leicestershire fell short against Surrey in their last outing to register their second defeat of the season. In Leicestershire’s defense, chasing a total of 296 is not the easiest task and they did put up quite the fight. Once again, it was opening batter Sol Budinger who made the difference in their innings with 70 runs, the team’s highest individual score. The others around him kept collapsing one after the other and it was down to the lower order who did the best they could to keep Leicestershire afloat. Bowler Tom Scriven’s 55 did take them close to the target but it was too little, too late as Leicestershire succumbed and lost by 17 runs.

Yorkshire vs Leicestershire Betting Tips
Yorkshire to score low before first dismissal
Yorkshire’s opening wicket is entirely hapless at this point and there hasn’t been even a shred of improvement since the start of the season. After several unsuccessful attempts, William Luxton was dropped down the order to make way for wicket-keeper batter Harry Duke to open alongside Finlay Bean. However, this endeavor proved to be rather futile as it did not bring the desired change. In the last five matches, Yorkshire has had first partnerships of 5, 4, 2, 7 and 7 runs. There is no-go for Yorkshire’s first wicket here on out.

Yorkshire vs Leicestershire Betting Odds
Leicestershire to have a better opening partnership than Yorkshire
Yorkshire’s opening wicket is the only one which has failed to make any progress whatsoever after so many attempts this season, and there has not been a single game so far where they have scored double digit partnerships. With partnerships of 5, 4 and 2 runs in the last three games despite a change at the front, Yorkshire are in for it. On the contrary, Leicestershire’s openers have done well to set the team up for a big total since Ian Holland and Sol Budinger have managed to secure stands of 38, 129 and 42 runs in the previous three outings. The two sides are worlds apart in this aspect and Leicestershire’s openers are unparalleled.
