Yorkshire Vikings will be up against Derbyshire Falcons in their second home game of the season. In their last match at Headingley, the Vikings won by 8 wickets, chasing a target of 102 runs.
After a successful run-chase at Edgbaston, Derbyshire Falcons were bowled out for just 122 in the next game. However, they bounced back quickly with a 198-run total while batting first against Notts Outlaws in the last match.
Headingley offers a batting-friendly pitch and both teams should be keen on continuing their form. The lower middle order has helped both sides in posting match-winning totals.
Joe Root and Dawid Malan looked in fine touch for Yorkshire in the last outing and that is great news for the hosts. Wayne Madsen, Samit Patel, and Brooke Guest are the key batters for Derbyshire in the middle-order.

Yorkshire Vikings bounced back with a win in the last match against Northants Steelbacks after the 7-wicket loss against Leicestershire in the previous outing.
The batters stepped up to ensure a bigger total on the board as they batted first once again. Joe Root opened the innings alongside Dawid Malan and both delivered a good start at the top.
Skipper Shan Masood also looks in good touch with back-to-back impressive performances, and in the last outing, he even improved his strike rate. Bowling all-rounder Jordan Thompson changed the momentum of the match with a 7-ball 20 runs knock at number 7 helping Vikings finish on a high.
As they come to Headingley, Yorkshire Vikings will be confident of carrying their momentum and batting form. They will be up against a strong and in-form bowling attack of Derbyshire and need to bring their A-game in this contest.
Donovan Ferreira is another key player in the middle-order who hasn’t found his rhythm yet this season. He’s been among the top contributors for Yorkshire in the past seasons.
He needs to step up and start delivering crucial partnerships along with James Wharton so that the Vikings aren’t dependent solely on their lower middle order.
J Thompson and Daniel Moriarty will be leading the bowling attack for Yorkshire. While there are many spin-bowling options in this squad with Root, Dominic Bess, and Jafer Chohan, it will be Thompson and Matthew Revis who will be key pace bowlers.

Derbyshire Falcons kicked off the season with a loss but have bounced back with two wins since then. They look in great touch with both bat and ball.
In their last outing at the County Ground in Derby, the Falcons were impressive with both bat and ball. First, they posted a 198-run total and then the bowlers destroyed the opposition as they bowled them out for just 102 runs.
There are some reliable and power-hitting batters at all key positions in this batting lineup. Luis Reece is a quality batter but after a few failures was replaced by Aneurin Donald.
The opening duo of Luis Reece and Harry Came wasn’t working out well for the Falcons but even the new duo of Donald and David Lloyd hasn’t shown any promise either.
There were many changes in the batting lineup in the last match but it was mostly the unchanged players who made the biggest impact. Wayne Madsen, skipper Samit Patel, and Brooke Guest at 4, 5, and 6 respectively were the top contributors with the bat.
Guest is in good touch delivering consistently for Derbyshire in the lower middle order. In addition to Madsen and Patel, Ross Whiteley is another key player to watch out for in this lineup.
Batting all-rounder Ross Whiteley picked 3 wickets in the last match and will play a key role in both departments. Patrick Brown and Daryn Dupavillon are other wicket-takers in this squad along with the more experienced Samit Patel.

It is a batting-friendly wicket that offers an even bounce and good carry allowing the batters to time their strokes to perfection. The weather will be cloudy with a high of 13 degrees Celsius.

Headingley in Leeds will be the venue for the Yorkshire vs Derbyshire T20 Blast match. It is a high-scoring venue with an average 1st innings score of 179 runs. We reckon a 190+ score should be a match-winning total in this game.
Batting first should be the preferred choice for the skippers in this match. The batters are in great form and should be able to post a competitive total. It will be an advantage to have runs on the board considering the conditions and the bowling strength of both teams.
Yorkshire Vikings have the home advantage on their side but will face a tough competition from the in-form Derbyshire. Though the visitors have been quite inconsistent, they’ve got a very solid overall squad. It will be a neck-and-neck contest between these two sides with Yorkshire Vikings starting with a slight edge in our match prediction.
