YOR vs LAN Match 57 North Group Predictions & Betting Tips

The 20th edition of the T20 Blast is and it's time for match number 57 of the league stage between Yorkshire and Lancashire (YOR vs LAN). The match will be played at Headingley in Leeds and will commence from 11 PM PM IST on Wednesday, June 8. While Lancashire have won five out of their six matches, Yorkshire have lost two and won three in six matches.

In the last season, Lancashire finished third in the North Group and qualified for the knockout stages of the game but lost in the quarter-finals to Somerset. Yorkshire were second in league stage but lost their match to Sussex by five wickets in the quarter-final.

In the Vitality Blast 2022, Lancashire are leading the 9-team North Group points table, whereas Yorkshire are placed behind Northamptonshire and Birmingham Bears to occupy the fourth spot. As we gear up for match 57 of the English T20 league, I have brought you the best three betting tips from the YOR vs LAN match 57 head-to-head encounter.

YOR vs LAN Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team bet from the YOR vs LAN head-to-head contest.

Lancashire to win

Table-toppers Lancashire are currently unstoppable at the moment. The Dane Vilas-led team is yet to lose a match in the Vitality Blast 2022. The team has now won five matches on the trot after playing a tie against Yorkshire in their first match. Fourth-placed Yorkshire are on the cusp of a third straight consecutive win after playing a tie in the first match against Lancashire and then losing their next two games. However, beating Lancashire or holding them to a tie, looks difficult this time.

Yorkshire and Lancashire have played 37 matches against each other, with the latter coming on top 17 times. Yorkshire have beaten Lancashire on 13 occasions. At the Headingley in Leeds, Yorkshire lead the head-to-head tally 9-6 after 18 matches. Including the last tie match, Lancashire have lost only once to Yorkshire in their last five encounters.

Singapore and Mumbai Indians star Tim David has become the highest run-scorer for Lancashire in the season. He has scores of 24, 35, 60, 15, 22 and 42 and is only growing in confidence after every game. England international Liam Livingstone (162) and Phil Salt (193) are also in fine form and will come as major threats for Yorkshire. There are others in the team who have also taken the onus when the need has arrived. The supremely talented and in-form Lancashire batting line-up won their last match against Leicestershire in just 16.1 overs.

On the other hand, Yorkshire batting looks too dependent on Harry Brook (205) and Adam Lyth (182). Dawid Malan has not played for the side in their last two matches. The unit has a star-studded bowling line-up consisting of David Willey, Adil Rashid and Dom Bess but it's 25-year-old pacer Jordan Thompson who has taken most (13) wickets for the side. Adil Rashid and Haris Rauff, who has already returned to Pakistan, have taken four wickets each.

For Lancashire Richard Gleeson is the leading wicket-taker with 10 scalps but same as the batting department, others have chipped in nicely. Matt Parkinson also returned after featuring in the first England vs Sri Lanka Test at the Lord's and took two wickets against Leicestershire. Overall, Lancashire are playing as a unit and beating will not be easy for any side including Yorkshire. If you feel the same, head over to Pari Match to grab the odds of 1.74 and place your bet on Lancashire from the YOR vs LAN head-to-head encounter.

YOR vs LAN Player Bet:

Liam Livingstone and Phil Salt are my top two player betting tips for the YOR vs LAN match 55. Have a look at it for reaping the best returns.

Liam Livingstone to score over 23.5 runs

Liam Livingstone did not get a chance to bat in the last match against Leicestershire as Lancashire won the match by seven wickets but he still is the third-highest run-scorer for his team with 162 runs in five innings at an average of 32.40. The last five matches have seen the 28-year-old score 8, 75, 30, 26 and 23 matches. His 75 had come off just 40 balls as he blasted 5 four and as many sixes against Derbyshire.

The hard-hitting England international is coming off after a fantastic season in the IPL 2022 wherein he amassed 437 runs from 14 matches averaging almost 36.41. He finished as the second-highest run-getter for his side, Punjab Kings (PBKS). Livingstone has an experience of 187 T20 matches which has seen him score 4709 runs at an average of 29.24. The Cumberland-born has scored two hundreds and 28 fifties in the format.

In the previous edition of the Vitality Blast, Livingstone mustered 279 runs from six matches averaging close to 55.80. The right-hander has played 11 innings against Yorkshire, accumulating 392 runs at 39.29. He has scores of 23, 69 and 17 in his last three outings against the opposition. At Headingley, the venue for the 57th Vitality Blast 2022 match between Yorkshire and Lancashire, Livingstone averages 41.50 from seven matches.

Considering all the aforementioned facts, Liam Livingstone, in all likelihood is expected to score over 23.5 runs on Wednesday. If you feel the same, proceed to Pari Match and pick the odds of 1.87 for Liam Livingstone to score over 23.5 runs from the YOR vs LAN head-to-head encounter.

Phil Salt to score over 20.5 runs

Phil Salt has been nothing but spectacular for his team at the top of the order this season. With 193 runs in six matches at an average of 32.16, Phil Salt is currently the second-highest run-scorer from Lancashire after Tim David. He has scores of 38, 37, 19, 11, 29 and 59 from the six matches he has played so far in the ingoing Vitality Blast 2022.

Overall, the 25-year-old England international has played 139 T20 matches to score 3082 runs at an average of 24.65. He has 22 fifties to his name in the format. The right-hander has played a total of 65 T20 Blast matches, scoring 1646 runs at an average close to 30. He has played one match at Headingley and scored 18 runs. Salt made his T20I debut for England in January this year against West Indies. He blasted 57 off 24 on his debut before scoring 0 and 3 in the following two matches. With the 3-match T20I series against India in July fast approaching, Phil Salt will like to make a serious case for his selection in the squad. Scoring over 20.5 runs should not be difficult for in-form Phil Salt. Our affiliate partner Pari Match is offering the odds of 1.87 for the same. So waste no time and head to the Pari Match website to place your bet on Phil Salt from the YOR vs LAN head-to-head encounter.
