Preview
Both teams have had entirely different campaigns which make Yorkshire firm favourites to win this fixture. With six wins in 10 games, the Adam Lyth-led side are second in the North Group team standings and a win in this game will see them toppling Nottinghamshire at the summit. Notably, three of Yorkshire’s fixtures have been washed out due to rain. Hence, they have lost just one game this season.
On the contrary, Lancashire haven’t enjoyed a fruitful run so far. They have blown hot and cold this season and would like to put up a substantial show in this match. Currently, Dane Vilas’ men are seventh in the table, having won three of their nine games. Hence, they would be raring to go up in the order.

Captaincy Picks for YOR vs LAN
Harry Brook
The uncapped England dasher has arguably been the biggest find of T20 Blast 2021. Brook has a wide range of shots and his obsession with big knocks makes him even more lethal. So far, the 22-year-old has amassed 372 runs in nine games with his strike rate being in excess of 150. Hence, Lancashire bowlers must beware of this young gun.
Lockie Ferguson
Brook’s teammate Lockie Ferguson is also expected to shine in this contest. The New Zealand speedster has been on a roll this season as not many batsmen have breathed easy against his thunderbolts. Ferguson has taken wickets at regular intervals and his economy rate has also been on the lower side. He has so far scalped 10 wickets in nine games, conceding just 7.42 runs per over.
