LEI vs YOR Match Prediction - Jun 06, 2023

This new season of T20 Blast for the year 2023 has descended on us fully. We are well and truly into the season now and many patterns are emerging from the competition. As qualifying for the knockout stages is already becoming a serious consideration for all the teams, they are looking to achieve crucial victories and get themselves to the top of the points table. Or, get close enough to the top position and qualify for the next round. Leicestershire made a bad start to the competition and are still struggling.

Leicestershire lost their first five games in the competition and as a result, they are lying in the last position in the points table. They will look to get into a winning rhythm and slowly develop a winning momentum to do well at least in the next half of the competition. There might still be an opportunity for climbing up the points tally for them. Yorkshire is also on its way to making a comeback in the competition after beginning the season with 3 consecutive losses. But they have put together 3 wins in a row after that. Due to this effort, they are back in contention for a place in the knockout stages of the competition.

LEI vs YOR Team Previews

Leicestershire

Leicestershire has been one of the worst-performing teams in the tournament. They have recorded just a single win in the competition so far out of the six games they played. After getting a victory in their last match they will be looking to draw inspiration from the victory and put together a winning streak. This victory in their last match must have worked a miracle for their morale and rejuvenated the team somewhat. After they put the opposition into bat after winning the toss, the Leicestershire bowlers did a good job of restricting their opponents.

The Durham team ended up setting a modest total of 168 runs on the board for the loss of 6 wickets. The Leicestershire team succeeded in chasing down the score by losing just 3 wickets within 18 overs. This solid 3-wicket win was achieved on 4th June at Chester-Le-Street. The Durham batting did not get off to a particularly good start losing three wickets relatively early. But there was a good partnership after that, between the wicketkeeper-batsman Ollie Robinson and Ashton Turner that realized 80 runs for the 4th wicket.

Josh Hull was the pick of the bowlers for Leicestershire picking up 3 wickets for 35 runs. Naveen-ul-Haq also contributed to the total picking up 2 wickets for 35 runs from his 4 overs. Apart from these two, the fast bowler Naseem Shah picked up one wicket for 28 runs. The Leicestershire top-order batsmen got their team off to a good start. However, it was an unbeaten partnership for the 4th wicket that got the Leicestershire team to the target with 2 overs to spare. Colin Ackermann scored 33 runs while Louis Kimber put together 55 runs from 29 balls with 3 sixes and 4 fours.

Yorkshire

The Yorkshire outfit has now registered 3 wins in a row in the competition. They have succeeded in beating Notts, Lancashire, and Derbyshire in their last 3 games. Yorkshire won the toss in their last game against Derbyshire and put their opposition into bat. Derbyshire set a target of 166 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. The Yorkshire outfit chased down the set target within 18.2 overs with 7 wickets to spare. This North Group encounter was played in Leeds. The Derbyshire team while batting first lost some early wickets.

After the loss of early wickets, there was a huge partnership between Haider Ali and Wayne Madsen that took the Derbyshire total to a decent one. Haider Ali scored 74 runs from 47 balls with 4 sixes and 4 fours. Madsen scored his 44 runs from 26 balls with 2 sixes and 3 fours. But after these two were dismissed the later-order batters could not accelerate and they ended up setting a modest total rather than a huge one that appeared possible at one stage. The pick of the bowlers for Yorkshire was Ben Mike. He collected 3 scalps for 39 runs from his 4 overs.

Other bowlers that did a reasonable job for Yorkshire were David Wiese, Jordan Thompson, Matthew Revis, and Jafer Chohan. They all picked up a wicket apiece. Dom Bess bowled economically and was the only bowler that did not pick a wicket for Yorkshire. The Yorkshire outfit was off to a flying start with their openers Adm Lyth and Dawid Malan putting together an 83-run partnership for the first wicket from 9.3 overs. Dawid Malan scored 81 runs from 57 balls with 3 sixes and 9 fours. Malan was supported in his efforts by David Wiese during the closing stages of the inning with 30 from 21 balls.
