YOR
HAM
This Yorkshire side are a very talented 50-over side and in Adam Lyth and Imam-ul-Haq they have two of the most consistent and run-hungry opening batters!
But it was neither of them who top scored in the quarter-final as James Wharton, batting at number four, hit 118 from 106 runs in Yorkshire's total of 301/9.
Finlay Bean and Harry Duke are two other players capable of making big scores in this fixture.
With the ball, all six of Yorkshire's bowling unit picked up at least one wicket against Kent and it will be skipper Dom Bess who arrives in Scarborough with the biggest spring in his step following figures of 4/43.
Adam Lyth, Imam-ul-Haq, Will Bennison, James Wharton, Finlay Bean, George Hill, Harry Duke (wk), Dom Bess (c), Dan Moriarty, Benjamin Cliff, Matthew Firbank
William Luxton, Jack White, Matt Milnes, Adam Lyth, Imam-ul-Haq, James Wharton, Finlay Bean, Harry Duke, George Hill, Dom Bess, Benjamin Cliff
It was the bowling unit for Hampshire who got them over the line in the quarter-final after the batters were able to only muster a total of 229/9 in the first innings of the game.
Four of the top six hit single figure scores and that is an area which must improve in this semi-final although opener Ali Orr comes into this game after hitting 108 in the last-eight clash.
Down the order, Andrew Neal and James Fuller are capable of making useful lower order runs as well as picking up key wickets.
The experienced pair of Kyle Abbott and Liam Dawson are two exceptional bowlers and they will be key to the potential success of Hampshire on Sunday in Scarborough.

It looks like being a nice day in Scarborough with cloudy spells but apart from that it will be sunny with some humidity experienced across the fixture. No rain is in the forecast.
The venue in Scarborough is a brilliant place for spectators and players alike. Short boundaries help the batters and we should see a par total of around 350 in this semi-final.
If there is anything for the quick bowlers in this pitch then it is likely to be in the first 20 overs of the game due to wet weather on Saturday. Therefore, we predict that both captains will want to bowl first.
This should be an excellent contest between two teams who have a strong blend of experience and youth in their teams. Hampshire look a little light on runs but Yorkshire have been unstoppable and we are expecting to see them progress to the final.
We are backing Yorkshire to win!
