Match Details

Team Previews

Yorkshire Preview

Yorkshire’s morale is high after a commanding win in their last outing. Chasing 105 runs, G Boyce (42) and A Oliver (39) made light work of the target, finishing the match in just 12.4 overs. With the likes of Duckworth and M Ward still waiting in the wings, Yorkshire’s batting depth is promising.

On the bowling front, R Fackrell was unstoppable, claiming 4/12 in 4 overs. Support came from J Woolston (1/14) and H Garton, who bowled economically. Their disciplined attack stifled the opposition and set up a dominant win. Yorkshire will be confident heading into this match given the form of their bowlers and top-order batters.

Leicestershire Preview

Leicestershire came agonizingly close in their last game, posting 115/5 while chasing 124. The batting was anchored by F Sweet (37), R Brooker (33), and E Watson (23), but a lack of lower-order support hurt them in the end.

Their bowling attack was impressive, restricting the opposition to 123/8. E Thatcher and E Philips bagged 2 wickets each, while F Sweet contributed with 3 lower-order scalps. The bowling unit is compact, but their top-order batting form remains a concern. They will need more stability upfront if they are to beat a confident Yorkshire side.

Fantasy Analysis

• Matthew Revis brings balance with his all-round abilities and consistent run in the season.

Favourite Team Today – Why?

Yorkshire go into this match as the stronger team due to their recent form and all-round depth. Their top-order looks solid with Dawid Malan and Adam Lyth, while bowlers like R Fackrell and Daniel Moriarty are in top form. They’re playing at home, which gives them an additional edge at Headingley where their recent record is strong. Leicestershire, on the other hand, are heavily dependent on a couple of players and have struggled with consistency. Unless their batting clicks fully, Yorkshire should dominate this fixture.
