Yorkshire vs Lancashire Chance of Winning
Both teams have had contrasting starts to the campaign as Lancashire kicked off the season with three wins in as many games before they were annihilated by Warwickshire at Edgbaston. On the other hand, Yorkshire have had a disappointing start to the season as they their first three games yielded absolutely no points. But the team from Leeds bounced back in the last game against Nottinghamshire giving them some confidence going into the upcoming fixture against last year's finalist. As per our calculations, we believe Lancashire would have enough in the locker when matched up against the home side and would walk away with maximum points.
- Yorkshire’s chances of winning - 39%
- Lancashire’s chances of winning - 61%
Yorkshire vs Lancashire Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
We believe Lancashire would have a better opening stand than Yorkshire in the game. Even with the brilliance of Dawid Malan from one end, Adam Lyth has struggled to get going this season. Lyth has managed to score 1,4,24 and 12 so far this season. What indeed favours our tip is the form of Lancashire bowler especially in the powerplay as opponents have only managed to get opening partnership 1, 16, 1 and 50 in the first four games. We believe the 50 run stand they conceded in the last game was one off as Warwickshire was only chasing a target of 98 in the game and it is highly unlikely the Lancashire batsmen would score so low again. In two of the first three games Lancashire openers have managed to get an opening partnership of over 50 runs making our argument even more convincing that Lancashire openers would outscore Yorkshire openers. We also believe Adam Lyth would have a low scoring game, Yorkshire opener has averaged 10.25 so far this season. Considering the opener’s form this season it's very unlikely he would match his score in this fixture last season where he managed to score 38 of 19 balls at Headingley.
Yorkshire vs Lancashire Match Toss Prediction
In the last four games at Headingley, the team batting first has won the game hence it makes a lot of sense to establish the fact that whoever wins the toss would decide to bat first. What further validates our argument is when both teams went head to head last year in Leeds, Lancashire batted first and won the game by four runs.
Weather Report
The chance of any interruptions during the game is minimal as we expect clear weather on June 1. The maximum temperature is expected to be 16C and minimum is expected to be 8C.

Yorkshire vs Lancashire Betting Odds
Yorkshire to score more sixes than Lancashire in the game
Even though Yorkshire has struggled to get over the line in games, they have managed to register more sixes in the last three games than their opponent this season. This tournament, Yorkshire have averaged 8.75 sixes in the first four games but have only conceded 7.5 sixes so far this season. On other hand, Lancashire have only averaged 5.5 sixes a game making this a very enticing tip to encash upon. Moreover, in the last game between these two teams Yorkshire outscored Lancashire in terms of number of 6’s in the game by 12-7. We believe this is a great opportunity to get a good return as bookmakers have sided with Lancashire in this tip and have given us a very lucrative odds of 2.34 which we believe you should instantly grab with both hands.
Yorkshire vs Lancashire Top Team Batters
Dawid Malan to be Yorkshire’s top batter
Dawid Malan has been the shining light for Yorkshire in what has been a disappointing campaign so far. Malan is four runs short of Wayne Madsen as the tournament top scorer this season. He single handedly took Yorkshire over the line as they registered their first win of the tournament scoring an unbeaten 95 off 56 balls.
Darryl Mitchell to be Lancashire’s top batter
With Phil Salt’s absence in the last game there are only two contenders for the top pick Darryl Mitchell and Luke Wells. Even though Luke Wells comes above Mitchell in the line up, Mitchell is not just the top scorer for Lancashire this season he is also the most consistent scorer for the Lancashire outfit this season and hence is our top pick for the game.
Yorkshire vs Lancashire Top Team Bowlers
David Wiese to be Yorkshire’s top bowler
Along with Dawid Malan, David Wiese was instrumental as Yorkshire registered their first win of the tournament. Weise’s bowling figures of 2/32 in the game makes him top wicket taker with five wickets for Yorkshire. We believe Wiese would carry on his form in this fixture making him our top pick in this game.
Luke Wood to be Lancashire’s top bowler
Once again we would side with Luke Wood in this game. Even though Wood failed to impress in his last outing against Warwickshire, we believe that was a one off game as Lancashire were defending mere 98 runs which is highly unlikely to happen again. Wood has been the centerpiece in each of the three wins this season grabbing eight wickets and is tournament’s leading wicket taker hence making this a straightforward pick for us in this game.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Lancashire
Lancashire’s winning streak got stumped as they were humbled in the last game against high flying Warwickshire. Lancashire collapsed for just 98 as they suffered their first defeat in the tournament. Coming into the game on the back of three straight wins, Lancs lost their opening pair for just 14 runs even though we did see some signs of recovery as they managed to get to 62/3. However, that proved to be a false dawn as they were bowled out in next 6.5 overs for mere 98 and lost the game by seven wickets.
Yorkshire managed to get their first points on the board as they managed to break their three game losing streak in a thrilling eight run win against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge. This fixture has given us some thrilling and grandstand finishes in the past. Last year, both teams produced a spectacle as the teams shared the spoils in the opening fixture as the match ended in a tie. In the second game, Lancashire edged Yorkshire and won the bragging rights in the Battle of the Roses as they won the game by four runs. The Bookmakers have seen this and have tagged Lancashire as favourites in this fixture and have given them lucrative odds of 1.65. On the other hand, Yorkshire are viewed as massive underdogs in this game with Melbet giving them odds as high as 2.24. We believe we should side with the bookmakers and should bet on the favourites as we might see a reaction from the last year finalists as they would want to put things in order after their fiasco against Warwickshire.
- Yorkshire to win @ 2.24 (Melbet)
- Lancashire to win @ 1.65 (Melbet)
