Leicestershire vs Yorkshire Chance of Winning

Yorkshire will be the favourites to win the upcoming match against bottom-ranked Leicestershire. They are on a 3-match unbeaten run and Leicestershire, who lost their first five matches, could find it really hard to go past Shan Masood's side.

Just one Leicestershire batter is averaging over 32. Louis Kimber, who has played just two matches, is averaging 96. Just three batters are having a strike rate in excess of 130 - two of them have played just two matches. The struggle for them has been equally high in the bowling department.

Naseem Shah was expected to deliver big time but he has picked just four matches in five matches so far. Callum Parkinson, their leading wicket-taker (seven in six matches) hasn't picked any wicket in his last two outings. Afghanistan star Naveen-ul-Haq has also managed to pick just three wickets in three matches.

Yorkshire batting unit has got a new life courtesy the form of Dawid Malan who has scored 81*, 83 and 95* in his last three matches. His opening partner Adam Lyth is getting into the groove. He has scored 31 and 32 runs respectively in his last two matches. Pakistan star Shan Masood is also in the squad.

Pacer pair of David Wiese and Ben Mike have picked eight wickets each at a bowling average of 19.12 and 21.50 respectively. The likes of Jordan Thompson and Dom Bess also feature in the bowling unit.

Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Pakistan speedster Naseem Shah is one pacer who can change the fortunes of Leicestershire considerably. So far, he has picked just four wickets in five matches. The raw pace of the 20-year-old pacer can cause trouble to many. Shah has played 81 T20 matches and picked 77 wickets at an average of 30.02 and an economy rate of 7.77.

Shan Masood of Yorkshire is yet to join the party and eyes will be on the captain in the upcoming match. He did not get the opportunity in the last match as his team won by seven wickets. The first five innings have seen him score 91 runs only at an average of 18.20 and a strike rate of 130. He was in blazing form last year and that contributed massively to the team's success. The side would expect the same this year as well.

Match Toss Prediction

Leicestershire won the toss in the first match at the venue this season and elected to bat first. However, they lost the match. In the second match in Leicester, Worcestershire opted to bat and won the match by 33 runs. Leicestershire opted to bowl in the third match here but they lost again by two runs. There are strong chances that the team winning the toss will opt to bat first.

Rishi Patel to be Leicestershire's Top Batter

Rishi Patel is the leading run-scorer for Leicestershire at the moment. He has scored 142 runs in six matches at an average of 23.66 and a strike rate of 121.36. He is the best hope for his team's lacklustre batting unit in the next match. Overall, he has scored 545 runs in 34 matches at an average of 18.16 and a strike rate of 123.58.

Dawid Malan to be Yorkshire Top Batter

Leicestershire vs Yorkshire Top Team Bowlers

Naveen-ul-Haq to be Leicestershire's top bowler

Afghanistan has arrived in the T20 Blast 2023 with an impressive outing for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the IPL 2023. The first three matches have seen him pick three wickets but he is expected to peak in the upcoming matches. In the last match against Durham, he picked two wickets for 35 runs. Overall, he has picked 174 wickets in 143 matches at an average of 23.25 and a strike rate of 8.08.

David Wiese to be Yorkshire's top bowler

The right-arm pacer is the joint leading wicket-taker for Yorkshire at the moment. He has picked eight wickets in five matches at an average of 19.12 and an economy rate of 7.65. Overall, the South African has played 335 T20 matches and picked 268 wickets at an average of 26.18 and an economy rate of 8.29.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Yorkshire

Yorkshire are on the roll and have won each of their last three matches and look set to make it four in four. Yorkshire opener Dawid Malan has blown the opposition away with his swashbuckling batting in the last three matches. The England international has scored unbeaten 81 off 57 in his last match. In the two matches prior to it, the southpaw scored 83 and 95 unbeaten runs. He might be shielding the batting vulnerability of his team but he is doing it with utmost perfection. Adam Lyth has also started to chip in and the very talented Shan Masood will step up some day soon. The bowling department has also done well with pacers Wiese and Mike picking eight wickets each.

Leicestershire are going through a horrid run and have lost five of their six matches (five consecutive). They won their last match but beating Yorkshire will be a different ball game. Rishi Patel, who has scored 142 runs in six matches at an average of 23.66 and a strike rate of 121.36, is their leading run-scorer. Their leading wicket-taker is left-arm spinner Callum Parkinson (seven wickets in six matches), and he hasn't picked a single wicket in his last two games.

Leicestershire to win @ 2.31 (Parimatch)

Yorkshire to win @ 1.57 (Parimatch)
