TEAMS PREVIEW

Nottinghamshire Preview

Nottinghamshire are looking strong this season and have managed to win 7 games out of 11 they played. With 17 points in hand, they are at the top of the north group. Their next match is up against Yorkshire who are also favourites this year. Nottinghamshire played superb cricket in the last game against Birmingham Bears as they have won that by a huge margin of 114 runs. While batting first, with the help of Ben Ducket’s 39 from 20 balls and Samit Patel’s 41 runs from 30 balls, NOTTS have put 177 runs on the board. With brilliant bowling performances from pacers as well as spinners, they have easily defended the total to restrict Bears on just 63 runs. 

Samit Patel has delivered his all-around duty to take 2 wickets on just 8 runs in his spell of 2 overs. Jake Ball and Calvin Harrison both were phenomenal in that match and had taken 4 wickets each to dismantle the Bears’ batting lineup. Jake Ball is currently the third-highest wicket-taker of the tournament and has taken 18 wickets in 9 matches so far. Nottinghamshire have good batting depth and also a good fast bowling attack. They just have to execute their plans well against Yorkshire and also have to take advantage of home conditions to win this game on 9th July at Trent Bridge in Nottinghamshire.

Key players for Nottinghamshire: Alex Hales, Joe Clarke, Ben Duckett, Matthew Carter

Yorkshire Preview

Yorkshire are looking like one of the strong contenders of a trophy this season and have delivered according to that so far this season. They are currently in the 2nd position in the north group with 7 wins in 11 games they played and have 15 points with them. While playing against Lancashire in the last match of the group stage, the season’s leading run-scorer; Harry Brook, delivered another superb knock of not out 91 runs in 50 balls. To help him, captain Adam Lyth had scored 52 runs in 40 balls. The team managed to put 180 runs on the board.  While defending 181 runs, Lockie Ferguson was the key wicket-taker of the match. He took 4 wickets on just 24 runs in his attacking spell of 4 overs. He has been one of the key bowlers for his team and has taken 14 wickets so far in his 10 matches of this season. The team also has a good spin attack led by Dom Bess.

With some serious batting depth in the top order and an attacking bowling unit, they will try to pick up those 2points against table-toppers on 9th July. While playing an away match against table toppers, they just need to focus on basics that might help them register a victory.

Key players for Yorkshire: Adam Lyth, Harry Brook, MD Fisher, Jordan Thompson

Yorkshire Predicted Playing XI:

NOTTS vs YORKS
Winning Prediction

Both teams are neck to neck this season and one of the top contenders for this year’s trophy. Both have good depth in the batting department but bowling will be the key in this match between these two. Nottinghamshire have a good bowling attack with them but they are heavily dependent on their batting side, on the other hand, Yorkshire have some serious pace attack this year and they will try to put pressure on NOTTS’ batsmen at an early stage of an inning and will try to clinch victory in this game.

We predict that Yorkshire will defeat Nottinghamshire.
