Yorkshire vs Bears Predictions

Yorkshire come into the match on the back of consecutive wins, but I’m backing the Bears to take the win as they’ve won their last five matches against Yorkshire.

Bears’ Tom Latham top-scored with 58 off 42 balls in the win over Derbyshire.
Bears’ Dan Mousley scored 68 off 42 balls against Northants.
Yorkshire’s Dawid Malan (219 runs, ave 54.75) is 2nd in the Vitality Blast runs list.
Yorkshire’s William Luxton has scored 51, 45, 24 & 62 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

The Bears have won the last five matches against Yorkshire on the trot.

Yorkshire Form

After losing their opening three matches of the season, Yorkshire bounced back by beating Leicestershire by 106 runs and Notts by nine runs.

Yorkshire posted a competitive score of 175/8 off their 20 overs, thanks to an opening stand of 83 off 7.3 overs between Adam Lyth (29 off 21 balls) and Dawid Malan (58 off 28).

Yorkshire kept the Notts batters under control to limit them to 166/9 off their 20 overs. Jack White (4/33) made early inroads into the Notts top-order, which proved to be a match-winning contribution.

Yorkshire Team News

Matt Milnes is likely to play after being rested against Nottinghamshire to manage his workload. New Zealand paceman Will O’Rourke is a key player, especially when defending a total.

Bears Form

After winning two matches on the bounce, the Bears suffered a 10-run loss to Northants to make it three defeats from five matches.

Northants posted 184/6 off their 20 overs, with Hasan Ali again bowling superbly to return figures of 3/42.

The Bears were looking good at 94/1 in the 10th over, with Tom Latham (34) and Dan Mousley (68) well set. They fell off the pace in the latter overs to end on 174/8.

Bears Team News

Overseas stars Tom Latham and Hasan Ali are the Bears’ top performers with bat and ball respectively.

Verdict

Yorkshire v Bears

I am backing Bears to win. I am also backing Tom Latham to top score for the Bears.

Dawid Malan is a good bet to top score for Yorkshire.
