Yorkshire vs Worcestershire Betting Tips
Yorkshire to score low before 1st dismissal ( @Parimatch)
Yorkshire have a stellar batting order. However, their openers could not raise impactful opening partnerships in the last season. Adam Lyth and Dawid Malan opened for the side in the last season. Lyth averaged at 19.75 while Malan’s average read as 54.60 in the tournament. Lyth was the batter to lose his wicket the earliest in the majority of the games last season. The pair posted scores of 0. 6 & 23 runs before their 1st dismissal in the last three games of last season. In their last meeting against Worcestershire, the pair raised 11 runs before Lyth lost his wicket. That said, Yorkshire can expect an early wicket coming into the next game against Worcestershire.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Yorkshire vs Worcestershire Toss Prediction
It is a belter of a pitch where batters will dominate the proceedings as they have done in the past on this ground. The weather will be mostly cloudy with a high of 17 degrees Celsius in Leeds on the match day. It is a great venue for batting and there are plenty of runs on offer for the team batting first. We reckon both skippers will be keen on batting first if they win the toss. Having runs on the board will always be an advantage at Headingley.

Yorkshire vs Worcestershire Betting Odds
Under Shan Masood's captaincy, Yorkshire's batting will feature key players like Adam Lyth and Dawid Malan. The team needs to decide if they will stick with Jonathan Tattersall as their sole wicket-keeper or add another. Yorkshire, having defeated Worcestershire on this ground last year, should feel confident starting their 2024 T20 Blast campaign here. The squad boasts a mix of experience and youth, including Joe Root, though they will miss Harry Brook, who is with England for the T20 World Cup. Crucial players at the top include Lyth, James Wharton, and Malan. The middle order features Masood, Jordan Thompson, and Tattersall, while Donovan Ferreira is expected to be a strong finisher. The bowling attack will likely be led by Thompson, Dom Bess, and Matthew Revis.
Despite having Adam Hose, Mitchell Santner, and Brett D'Oliveira, the Rapids struggled with a batting collapse last season. Santner, who batted at number 3, will miss this match due to T20 World Cup duties with New Zealand. Jack Haynes and Adam Hose were pivotal in Worcestershire’s 2-wicket win over the Vikings at New Road last year, chasing 176 runs. Wicket-keeper Gareth Roderick, impressive in the County Championship, is crucial for the middle order. Kashif Ali, Ben Cox, and Ed Pollock consistently contributed in the lower-middle order and will be key if they play. Promising bowlers include Ben Gibson, Josh Baker, Nathan Smith, and Usama Mir, with Mir being particularly influential last season. Major figures in the bowling attack also include Dillon Pennington, Matthew Waite, and Patrick Brown.
