Yorkshire vs Worcestershire (YOR vs WOR) Today Match Prediction Preview:
Welcome to the YOR vs WOR Today Prediction curated by Kheltalk cricket experts. Yorkshire will face Worcestershire in their 1st match of T20 Blast 2022 on 25th May 2022 at the Leeds Stadium. Keep on reading for more information on the YOR vs. WOR game.
Yorkshire will be up against Worcestershire in their first match of the campaign as they look to build on last year’s performance. They finished fourth last time and were defeated by Sussex in the Quarter Finals.
This year, they have made some serious reinforcements with the Pakistan duo of Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan joining Vikings. Yorkshire has named their squad for the first match and their team looks very balanced, especially with Joe Root in the team.
Worcestershire has also named their squad for the first match and their captain Moeen Ali is the biggest missing from the squad. Ben Cox will take over duties as captain for the first match as Ali will be returning on June 1 after a hectic season with Chennai Super Kings.
The rapids don’t have the luxury of international superstars like Vikings but have some young guns like Pat Brown and Ed Pollock who can change the course of the match.
Yorkshire is the clear favourite for this clash and history also says the same. They have defeated Worcestershire 4 times in the last 5 encounters and the absence of Moeen Ali makes Yorkshire clear favourites to start the campaign with a win.
