Yorkshire Preview
Yorkshire won by five wickets in their last game over Durham, putting them on a two-game unbeaten run. In their last outing, their opponent scored 205 runs batting first, but fortunately, they reached the target, winning the game as Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali were excellent in the chase. This team has not been in good form, drawing twice and losing twice in their last five games, with only one victory in that span. They currently sit in second place in the North standings with 22 points from 9 matches played.

I’m backing Yorkshire here to continue their head-to-head dominance as they will beat Leicestershire here. They have won three of their last five clashes with Leicestershire, and I believe this game will add to their winning run. Whether Yorkshire win here easily or not, they will surely find a way to win. My prediction is that Yorkshire will win, with 1xBet offering odds of 1.50.
