Essex lost by 20 runs in their last game against Durham, putting an end to their two-game winning streak. This team has not been in good form, as they have lost three times in their last five games, losing to Sussex by five wickets, Hampshire by three wickets, and, in their last game, by 20 runs against Durham, while they won twice, winning over Worcestershire by 107 runs and Glamorgan by three runs.

Yorkshire Preview
Yorkshire secured a win in their last game by five wickets against Derbyshire. In their last outing, their opponent, Derbyshire, batted first, scoring 278 runs. They started well until Yorkshire bowlers slowed them down. Yorkshire, time to bat, chased the target, but they started poorly as they lost batters early; they came back strongly as Sam Whiteman and James Wharton, with an excellent performance, stabilized the team. George Hill stepped up in the final, scoring 63 runs to prevent Yorkshire from losing as they won with four balls left. They have won four times in their last five games. They currently sit in 3rd place in Group B with 20 points from 7 matches.
Yorkshire XI
Dominic Bess (c), Finlay Bean (wk), Adam Lyth, William Luxton, James Wharton, Sean Whiteman, Will Bennison, George Hill, Ben Coad, Jack White, and Kuldeep Yadav.
Essex vs Yorkshire Prediction
Yorkshire have been in good form, having won four times in their last five games, while Essex have lost three times in theirs. Not only that, Yorkshire have won three times in the last four head-to-head games over Essex. My prediction is that Yorkshire will win, with 1xBet offering odds of 1.68.
