Lancashire vs Yorkshire match prediction 17 Sep 2020

Lancashire has been the better side this season and there’s no doubt that they are the favourites to win the upcoming match and cement their place in the quarter-finals of the tournament. Meanwhile, Yorkshire are virtually out of the championship race, but can still play spoilsport by defeating Lancashire at their own den this Thursday evening. We, as neutrals, are in a win-win situation. Apart from witnessing the enthralling game, we have an opportunity to win handsome rewards by investing on the winning bets from the market.

I have already handpicked the top three winning bets for you and listed them below. Just go through my analysis and act accordingly.

Yorkshire to hit more sixes @ 2.10 (Bet 365)

This is a risk worth taking, as Yorkshire as their batsmen are quite capable of hitting more sixes than their opponents. In the last five matches, they have struck a total of 39 sixes, averaging 6.5 per match, while conceding just 29 (4.8 per match), with them having the upper hand in three of those games. Meanwhile, Yorkshire have better power hitters compared to Lancashire, with them registering 70 sixes in the previous season of the T20 Blast, while the latter managed only 52 hits.

On the other hand, Lancashire have hit fewer sixes than their opponents in the four of their last five matches, with them their batsman registering 21 sixes (4.2 per match), while conceding 27 maximums (5.4 per match). Having played only one match at home this season, Lancashire cleared the rope just once and conceded as many in the same. Even though Lancashire enjoys a better record when it comes to the past five H2H matches, but the recent record suggests otherwise, which is the reason why we should invest in Yorkshire for this particular bet.

Adam Lyth to score over 23.5 runs @ 1.83 (Bet 365)

The batsman has been by far the best for Yorkshire in the ongoing T20 Blast, with him already scoring 252 runs (11, 36, 71, 20, 53, 61) in 6 innings, averaging 42 runs per match, having scored north of 23 on four occasions. In the previous edition of the tournament, the southpaw played 10 matches, amassing a total of 379 runs at a rate of 37.90 runs per innings, with seven scores of more at least 24 runs, which shows that the experienced campaigner has been delivering for Yorkshire in the recent past.

In the last three away matches, his scores read - 71, 20, 53, with a total of 144 runs, averaging 48 runs per innings, with two scores satisfying our range. Moreover, in the past five H2H matches against Lancashire, his scores were - 36, 0, 0, 60, 50 - 146 runs, averaging almost 30 runs per match, with three scores of 24 runs or more. Overall, he's played 13 matches at Old Trafford, with him scoring 182 runs, at a rate of 26.14 runs per innings. With all the evidence pointing to one direction, we are set to win money from this deal.

Lancashire to have the highest opening partnership @ 1.80 (Bet 365)

If you are looking for guaranteed cash, this is the deal for you, and it offers almost double the investment. In the last five matches this season, Lancashire have had the better opening stand in four of those games, with their opening stands reading - 24, 48, 61, 63, 170, scoring a total of 366 runs at a rate of 73.2 runs per innings, while conceding just 50 runs (10 runs on an average). Lancashire has played just one match at home this season, with their openers putting up 61 runs before the fall of the first wicket, while their bowlers conceding just 11 runs on the contrary.

On the flip side, Yorkshire have had the upper hand in just two of their last four matches, with their openers putting up 102 runs (15, 30, 28, 29), averaging 25.5 runs per innings, while their bowlers have let in 166 runs (41.5 runs per innings). In the last four H2H matches between these two sides, each have had the better opening stand on two occasions, but Lancashire have scored 181 runs (45.25 runs per innings), while Yorkshire managed just 123 runs (30.75 runs). There’s no way we should ignore this bet.

My Picks:

Yorkshire to hit more sixes @ 2.10 (Bet 365)

Adam Lyth to score over 23.5 runs @ 1.83 (Bet 365)

Lancashire to have the highest opening partnership @ 1.80 (Bet 365)
