Match Details

Lancashire Team Preview

Lancashire head into this Roses derby with solid form. Despite losing their last match chasing 204, the team put up a fight, finishing at 167. Lower-order fireworks from Tom Hartley (35 off 11) kept them alive. Phil Salt, Chris Green, and Ashton Turner contributed well with the bat.

In the bowling department, Blatherwick (3/29) and Tom Hartley (2/26) stood out, with James Anderson and Luke Wood taking vital wickets. Lancashire’s strength lies in their pace depth and experienced campaigners like Jos Buttler and Phil Salt who can change the game in minutes.

The team needs better starts from their top order, and a complete team performance will be crucial to overcome their biggest rivals. At home, Lancashire hold a strong record and will look to keep momentum going.

Lancashire Predicted Playing XI:
Phil Salt, Keaton Jennings, Jos Buttler, Ashton Turner, Michael Jones, Luke Wells, Tom Hartley, Blatherwick, Luke Wood, James Anderson, Chris Green

Yorkshire Team Preview

Yorkshire’s campaign has lost steam in recent weeks. In their last outing, despite scoring 200/6 thanks to Jordan Thompson’s explosive 37 off 11 and solid contributions from Bairstow, Bharton, and Revis, their bowlers failed to defend the target.

Will Sutherland (3/16) was the lone standout with the ball. Others like Chohan and Rourke took wickets but leaked runs. The side’s inability to contain batters, especially at the death, has cost them matches.

Yorkshire will hope their senior players Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, and Jordan Thompson step up with bat and ball. However, their bowlers will need to be more disciplined at a venue where chasing can be tricky.

Yorkshire Predicted Playing XI:
Jonny Bairstow, Will Luxton, Dawid Malan, Matt Revis, Bharton, Jordan Thompson, Jafer Chohan, William Rourke, Will Sutherland, Dom Bess, Matt Milnes

Fantasy Team XI – LAN vs YOR

Fantasy Analysis:

• Captain Pick: Jos Buttler – big match player and in good form.
• Vice-Captain Pick: Will Sutherland – consistent with both bat and ball.
• Players to Avoid:
  • Harry Finch – unlikely to bat high in the order or bowl.
  • Michael Jones – out of form and may not face many deliveries.

Favourite Team – Lancashire (Why?)

Lancashire are clearly the stronger unit on paper and in form. Their top order boasts explosive players like Phil Salt and Jos Buttler, while their bowling lineup has both experience and variety in James Anderson, Tom Hartley, and Chris Green. Additionally, they play at home, where they’ve won most of their matches this season. Yorkshire’s poor death bowling and lack of collective form across departments puts them at a disadvantage. Unless Yorkshire produce a special performance, Lancashire look set to claim the points.
