NOR vs YOR Match Prediction & Analysis
Northamptonshire Steelbacks will be playing their second home game of the season as they face Yorkshire Vikings at the County Ground in Northampton.
In their opening match at this venue, the Steelbacks defeated Derbyshire by 5 wickets chasing down a 163-run target. David Willey is in great form with the ball and is well ed by others like George Scrimshaw and Ravi Bopara.
Yorkshire Vikings, who lost their recent match against Leicestershire Foxes, will be up for a tough challenge. They’ve got a strong batting lineup that features superstars like Dawid Malan, Joe Root, and Shan Masood who are yet to find their rhythm.
Adam Lyth and Dawid Malan are crucial at the top for the Vikings. Their early dismissals would put Yorkshire in big trouble. Steelbacks look stronger at this point in comparison.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Northamptonshire Preview
Northamptonshire have won two consecutive matches and are looking quite threatening with their bowling performances. David Willey has been terrific and he’s got the of George Scrimshaw and Saif Zaib.
The County Ground in Northampton is not a very high-scoring venue and the bowlers will play a key role in this match. The Steelbacks pack a strong punch in the batting department as well.
The openers Ricardo Vasconcelos and Matthew Breetzke are among the well-known big-hitters. Breetzke scored an unbeaten fifty in Northamptonshire’s recent successful run-chase.
In the middle-order, the likes of David Willey and Ravi Bopara bring in a lot of experience and are currently in good form. At number 5, there is another experienced international T20 player, Sikandar Raza.
This looks like a tough unit with many promising and experienced players in every department. While the batting lineup is deep with wicket-keeper batsman Lewis McManus and George Bartlett coming in at 7 and 8, it is the top 4 that hold the key to a winning performance.
Ravi Bopara has been around for a very long time and is one of the most consistent performers in the T20 Blast. He is effective with both bat and ball and can also contribute to the leadership ground.
Northamptonshire Predicted Playing XI:
Ricardo Vasconcelos, Matthew Breetzke, David Willey (c), Ravi Bopara, Sikandar Raza, Saif Zaib, Lewis McManus (wk), George Bartlett, Raphael Weatherall, George Scrimshaw, Freddie Heldreich

Yorkshire Preview
Yorkshire Vikings got off to a winning start at home but soon found themselves under pressure as they played the Foxes in Leicester. They’ve had a good record against this opponent but this time, they fell short of a match-winning effort.
Put to bat first, Yorkshire lost early wickets and could never get going as they kept losing regular wickets. Skipper Shan Masood scored 45 off 32 balls at number 3 but found no reliable partner from the other to build a big partnership.
Adam Lyth and Dawid Malan were out cheaply in the powerplay. Joe Root struggled big time and was out for 3 off 9 balls. They just found no way of coming back into the game after the early wickets.
In their opening game against Worcestershire Rapid, Yorkshire were chasing a low score, and the batting wasn’t tested as much. However, now it is clear that there are cracks in this lineup and they haven’t got anyone in the middle who can lead a comeback.
Root is a very experienced cricketer and can play the big, impactful knocks. Masood, Root, and Donovan Ferreira will be responsible for leading the Vikings to a competitive score.
Jordan Thompson should be promoted up the order ahead of Matthew Revis considering his ability to strike the ball.
The bowling is a big concern. They’ve banked on all spinners. It worked out fine in the opening game but backfired in the second. It needs to be seen how effective this ploy will be in the long run.
Yorkshire Predicted Playing XI:
Adam Lyth, Dawid Malan, Shan Masood (c), Joe Root, Donovan Ferreira (wk), Jordan Thompson, Matthew Revis, Dominic Bess, Jafer Chohan, Dominic Leech, Daniel Moriarty

County Ground in Northampton will be the venue for this T20 Blast fixture. The average 1st innings score in domestic T20s here is 175 runs. However, the last game here saw bowlers dominate the proceedings. We reckon a 175 or more 1st innings total can be a match-winning score in this game.
Toss: To Bowl
In international T20s, the team batting first has won all of the 8 matches played here. The average 1st and 2nd innings score here in T20Is is quite low. However, in domestic T20s, there is a good balance and the average 1st innings score is also quite high. Considering the recent match here, we reckon the team bowling first will have the advantage and should be able to chase down a target.

Yorkshire Vikings have some serious issues with the overall balance of their side. Whereas, the hosts have won back-to-back matches and are in great shape in every department. It is clear that Northamptonshire have the upper hand in this contest and hence, they will start as favorites in our match prediction.
