YOR vs DER Match Preview

The Yorkshire Vikings made a disastrous start to their T20 Blast 2023 campaign as they went down to Birmingham, Worcestershire, and Durham in 3 attempts on the trot. However, much to the surprise of everyone they have bounced back with a couple of unexpected wins against Notts Outlaws and Lancashire Lightning by margins of 8 and 15 runs respectively. Dawid Malan appears to be in terrific form at the moment. He has scored 95 not out and 83 in those victories registered by Yorkshire. The bad news is that Adam Lyth is struggling at the moment for Yorkshire. He succeeded in hitting 32 runs from 23 balls at the beginning of the inning in the last game but has not looked good for a while. The only bowler that failed to pick up a wicket against Lancashire was the medium-fast bowler Matthew Revis. In the Roses game against Lancashire, Ben Mike picked up 2 wickets for 31 runs and David Wiese picked up 2 scalps for 31 runs. The Yorkshire side began their campaign on a bad note and no one gave them a chance against the Lancashire team. But now they are looking to make a 3peat. Similar to their opponents in this match, Derbyshire Falcons has managed to turn around the misfortune after losing the 3 opening games. As they have defeated the Leicestershire Foxes by a margin of 2 runs and the Bears by a margin of 17 runs, they have indeed announced themselves in the competition. The batting form of Wayne Madsen has been tremendous. He is scoring runs in every match Derbyshire plays. The 39-year-old veteran continued his run of contributions in the last game against the Bears by hitting 71 not out. He struck 12 boundaries in his 52-ball inning on Friday. The top wicket-takers for Derbyshire Falcons in the game were Zak Chappell, and Zaman Khan who picked up 3 wickets apiece against Birmingham Bears. The standout bowler for Derbyshire Falcons last year was George Scrimshaw. He has succeeded in picking 1 wicket each in the last couple of games won by Derbyshire. Earlier in the competition, the Derbyshire outfit was easily defeated by the Lancashire, Notts, and Northamptonshire teams. However, since then they have appeared to be pretty impressive against the Bears and Foxes.
