Northants vs Yorkshire Match Preview

Defending Champions Northamptonshire will be looking to get back to winning ways after a slow start to their T20 Blast defence. Our Northants vs Yorkshire preview features two sides that will be hoping for successful runs in the shortest format. Yorkshire continue to impress despite not having two of their best players in the fold with Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow away with England.

Key players to watch

Ahead of our Northants vs Yorkshire free betting tips, we first look at the key players for both sides. Northants will be reliant on England’s Ben Duckett and rising star Josh Cobb as well as explosive all-rounder Steven Crook to do damage with bat and ball. Their opponents have a line-up oozing class, with Aussie imports Shaun Marsh and Peter Handscomb dangerous with the bat, while England’s past and present are represented by Tim Bresnan and Adil Rashid.

Teams recent form

Both sides have won one and lost one in this year’s competition going into this game. Northants opened their campaign with a disappointing loss to Derbyshire under lights. They bounced back in their last outing with a thrilling six-wicket win over Durham at Chester-le-street. Yorkshire, meanwhile, dominated with the bat in a big win over the dangerous Nottinghamshire. They couldn’t replicate that form in their next match, falling short against Derbyshire to lose by three runs.

Yorkshire, despite missing some key names, have quality in abundance and will look to bounce back from a shock defeat with a victory at Wantage Road.
