T20

Headingley

Yorkshire will take on Northamptonshire in the T20 Blast 2023 North Group match at Headingley in Leeds on Tuesday, June 20. The action will kick start from 11:00 PM IST.

Yorkshire reached the semi-final stage of the T20 Blast 2022 where they lost by six wickets. Leicestershire finished one place ahead of them in sixth after winning eight of their 14 league matches. Worcestershire were the bottom ranked-team after just two wins in 14 league matches.

Yorkshire vs Northamptonshire Chance of Winning

Yorkshire are the firm favourites to beat Northamptonshire in their upcoming match despite losing against Derbyshire by 144 runs in their last match. Yorkshire faced an unlikely collapse and were bundled out 68 in front of a very strong Derbyshire bowling unit. The side won six consecutive wins before their shock defeat.

The likes of Dawid Malan (491), Adam Lyth (20), David Wiese (177), James Wharton (141) and Shan Masood would look to step on cylinder and bring their A-game against Northamptonshire.

Yorkshire would always be looking to avenge their 34-run defeat against Northamptonshire in the tournament opener. However, a lot has changed since then. Yorkshire are currently the fourth-placed side, while Northamptonshire are reeling at the eighth spot in the ten-team table. They have lost six of their 10 matches.

Ricardo Vasconcelos has been the backbone of the Northamptonshire batting line-up. He is the only batter from the team to score over 200 runs with a strike rate in excess of 130. Facing the likes of Jordan Thompson (17), Ben Mike (13), David Wiese (10) and Dom Bess (5) will not be easy for Northamptonshire.

Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Shan Masood of Yorkshire is yet to join the party and eyes will be on the senior batter in the upcoming match. The first ten matches have seen him score 131 runs only at an average of 16.37 and a strike rate of 129.70. 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.

The all-round abilities of David Willey are expected to play a crucial role for Northamptonshire in the last few league matches. He has picked 254 wickets in 258 matches and scored 3589 runs at an average of 23.76 and a strike rate of 135.89. In the ongoing season of the T20 Blast 2023, he has scored 182 runs and picked nine wickets.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Yorkshire

Yorkshire are the firm favourites to beat Northamptonshire in their upcoming match. A batting collapse for Yorkshire against a good bowling attack was predicted and the same happened in their last outing against Derbyshire. However, they would be aiming to make a roaring comeback having won six consecutive matches before the 144-run defeat on Sunday.

Expect Dawid Malan and Adam Lyth to put up a top show for the side. Shan Masood would also look to get to his best form before joining the Pakistan squad for Sri Lanka Tests.

Northamptonshire defeated Yorkshire in their opening match and also registered a thumping 78-run win in their last match but they will face a stiff challenge from Yorkshire. There is even more fragility in the Northamptonshire batting unit with only one batter with over 200 runs with a strike rate in excess of 130. Yorkshire should come on top of Northamptonshire with an all-rounder performance to get back to winning ways.
