It will be a very important game for the Yorkshire Vikings as they take on the Worcestershire Rapids in the Vitality T20 Blast 2022. Vikings went down against Derbyshire Falcons in the last game and sit 6th on the points table. A win here would open up their prospects of making it to the quarterfinal. The Rapids saw their last game against the Northamptonshire Steelbacks being washed away.
Worcestershire Rapids has had an extremely poor tournament and the side has managed to win just once. Their record against the Vikings has also been extremely poor and this would create doubts in the minds of the players. It is a must-win game for the Yorkshire Vikings, and it would be interesting to see if they can win this one and remain in the hunt for a place in the quarterfinal.
Their last game against Northamptonshire Steelbacks was abandoned due to rains and skipper Colin Munro would be aiming for a rare win this season as they play at home. Their campaign has fallen flat this year and the side would now only be playing for pride. Munro would like his experienced players to play with determination as they take on a strong side.
Runs would be needed from the opening pair of Brett D’Oliveira and Ed Pollock as their lack of form has let the side down. In the middle order, Munro has an important role and he must build partnerships with Jack Haynes and Ed Barnard. Kashif Ali, Dwayne Bravo, and Gareth Roderick shall have to come up with their contributions to put the side in a comfortable position.
Jake Libby and Mitchell Terry Stanley will need to draw early blood as the Vikings have firepower at the top of the line-up. Dwayne Bravo is an experienced bowler, and he will have to bring it to play in this game. The side would also want to see disciplined bowling from Patrick Brown and Ed Barnard as they haven’t been consistent.

Harry Brook who has taken charge of the side from David Willey would be upset at the loss against Derbyshire Falcons by 6 wickets under the DLS method. Brook would consider his side unlucky after having put up a big score on the board. The side has to put this loss behind them and focus on playing well in the next game.
Adam Lyth has been in good form, and he would look to set up a good opening wicket stand with Finn Allen in this game. The side has a strong middle order with Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Harry Brook, and Shadab Khan and partnerships would be expected from them. Jordan Thompson and Will Fraine have good hitting abilities and strengthen this batting line-up.
Dominic Bess and Dominic Leech are experienced bowlers in this format of the game and the side would like to see good spells from them Shadab Khan is a smart T20 bowler, and he will have an important role to play here. Thompson, Matthew Waite, and Matthew Reviews make it a strong attack with their variations.

The weather at Worchester would be partly cloudy on June 23 batting conditions are expected to be good. There has been bounce and carry for the fast bowlers on this track and they would like to take advantage of it. The side that bats first in this game would aim to put 160 runs or more on the table.
New Road, Worcester is a small venue and we have seen plenty of boundaries being scored here. But there is always assistance for the fast bowlers on this surface especially under overcast conditions which makes it a big challenge to play slam-bang form of cricket. Spinners haven’t had the best of records on this ground.
We have had results in three games and on all occasions, sides winning the toss have lost the game putting the opponents into bat. The games have been high scoring and the wicket hasn’t changed much of its character. Hence, the captain winning the toss here might be tempted to bat first.
Worcestershire Rapids have struggled since the start of the season. Their batsmen have been in poor form and the bowling attack has lacked teeth. The side has nothing more to lose and they can play freely. The Yorkshire Vikings have lots of stakes in this contest. They have a strong batting line-up and bowling attack with experience. This would put them ahead of the Rapids in this contest.
