In the Vitality T20 Blast event, Warwickshire will face Yorkshire in a North Group match. In the points table, Warwickshire is currently ranked fifth. Out of the nine games played, the team has won four. Durham defeated Warwickshire by 34 runs in their previous match.
Yorkshire, on the other side, has had a fantastic tournament run. They have won six of the nine matches they have played in the tournament and are now in first place in the North Group’s points table. In their previous meeting, Yorkshire thrashed Northamptonshire by 82 runs.
Weather
It will be mostly cloudy during the game, with a maximum temperature of 17 degrees Celsius. There will be no rain during the game.
Pitch
The pitch at Edgbaston is quite well balanced, with an average first-inning score of 166 runs. Because the ball lands properly on the bat, batsmen should be able to perform shots. While the pacers are likely to get some movement with the new ball early on, the spinners will also play in the middle overs.
