Worcestershire Rapids vs Yorkshire Vikings Preview

• Moeen Ali is a good candidate to be the Rapids’ leading run scorer against the Yorkshire Vikings because of his two centuries in T20 cricket.
• We predict Yorkshire Vikings opener Adam Lyth, who has 367 runs in the league, will score the most runs in this game.
• In the tournament so far, Jordan Thompson has claimed 16 wickets. Our prediction for the leading wicket-taker for Yorkshire Vikings against Worcestershire Rapids is the medium-fast bowler.

 

In the 2022 Vitality Blast, Worcestershire Rapids will play Yorkshire Vikings. On Thursday, June 23, the match will begin at 17:30 local time at New Road in Worcester.

Worcestershire Rapids are now last in the table, three points below Durham in eighth place, having won just one game out of 10 in the North Group. The Rapids have dropped each of their last four contests, with losses to the Derbyshire Falcons, Northamptonshire Steelbacks, and Leicestershire Foxes (twice). Even though Worcestershire has a number of players that have played in numerous T20 international matches, they have often struggled with the bat and the ball.

Although they are only three points behind Derbyshire Falcons in second place in the league, Yorkshire Vikings, who are currently in sixth place, will think they still have a great opportunity of placing in the top four. The Vikings had only lost two of their previous six T20 Blast contests, but on Saturday they were upset by Derbyshire Falcons. Before Dominic Leech took 3-13, young middle-order batsman Harry Brook scored 77 runs on 50 balls. For this match, the Vikings could be able to welcome back some of their foreign players.

Worcestershire Rapids vs Yorkshire Vikings Match Toss Prediction

We’ve had three games with results, and on each occasion, the side that won the toss lost the game by putting the opponent into bat. The games have been high scoring, and the wicket’s character hasn’t changed much. As a result, the captain who wins the toss here may be tempted to bat first.

Worcestershire Rapids vs Yorkshire Vikings Pitch Report

Runs would be required from the opening pair of Brett D’Oliveira and Ed Pollock, whose lack of form has hampered the team. Munro plays an important role in the middle order, and he must form alliances with Jack Haynes and Ed Barnard. As the Vikings have firepower at the top of the lineup, Jake Libby and Mitchell Terry Stanley will need to draw early blood.
