Preview

Yorkshire have been on a roll this season and would like to continue their winning run. The Joe Root-led side has performed well as a unit and registered one emphatic win after another. In fact, they are currently leading the team standings with five wins in seven games. They would definitely like to consolidate the top position with a win in this fixture.

On the other hand, Leicestershire’s campaign hasn’t been that delightful. Having won just two of their first seven games, the Colin Ackermann-led side is holding the penultimate position in the points table. Hence, they need to bounce back with the tournament advancing to its second stage. However, their job won’t be easy as Yorkshire walked away with an 18-run win when these two teams met last.
