Who Will Win Worcestershire vs Yorkshire 72nd T20 Blast 2025 Prediction – 4th July

As we enter the business end of the 2025 T20 Blast season, both Worcestershire and Yorkshire are looking to turn things around in a must-win fixture. Currently languishing near the bottom of the points table, both sides have shown signs of promise but lacked consistency. The Worcestershire vs Yorkshire prediction leans slightly in favour of Worcestershire, who have shown better fight with both bat and ball in their recent matches. The 72nd T20 Blast match is set to be played on Friday, 4th July 2025 at Headingley, Leeds, and a win here could give either side a much-needed lift in their playoff hopes.

Team Previews

Yorkshire Preview

Yorkshire are enduring a disappointing T20 Blast campaign and have been unable to string together consistent performances. Their most recent game ended in a 63-run loss, as they were bowled out for just 130 chasing 194.

Their top-order showed flashes of promise with Adam Lyth, Dawid Malan, and Will Sutherland playing short cameos, but the lack of support from the middle order saw them collapse quickly. Yorkshire desperately needs experienced players like Bairstow and Malan to stand up and lead the batting revival.

With the ball, William O’Rourke was the lone bright spot in the last outing, claiming three wickets. Jafer Chohan supported with one, but the rest of the bowling attack leaked runs at over 10 runs per over, failing to control the opposition’s total.

If Yorkshire wants to bounce back, they need early breakthroughs and disciplined middle-over bowling. Jordan Thompson and Dom Bess must offer more control and wicket-taking options.

Worcestershire Preview

Worcestershire’s batting form has been worrisome too. In their previous outing, they managed only 134 in 17.4 overs. However, they did put up a spirited fight with the ball, taking the game down to the final wicket.

Kashif Ali and Isaac Mohammed gave a strong opening burst, scoring 38 runs inside 3.3 overs, but a middle-order collapse, despite efforts from Dwarsius and Adam Hose, cost them the match.

Bowling-wise, Fateh Singh shone with figures of 3/18, while Ben Dwarsius and Jacob Duffy chipped in with 3 and 2 wickets respectively. This trio forms the core of Worcestershire’s bowling unit and will be key against Yorkshire’s powerful top order.

Worcestershire’s fighting spirit and balanced bowling attack give them the edge in this low-stakes but pride-filled encounter. However, the batting unit needs to step up and support their bowlers.

Favourite Team Today – Worcestershire (Why?)

Worcestershire, despite their batting issues, have shown better composure under pressure and a more potent bowling attack compared to Yorkshire. With match-winners like Fateh Singh, Dwarsius, and Kashif Ali, they look the more balanced team. Yorkshire’s inconsistency and bowling woes make them vulnerable.
