T20 Blast 2022 | DER vs YOR | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Derbyshire will be up against the challenge of Yorkshire in Match 80 of T20 Blast 2022 on June 18 (Saturday) at Queen's Park, Chesterfield. This venue is known for hosting the matches of only both these teams for the last six-seven years. 

Derbyshire are placed fifth on the points table with four wins in eight league matches. In their last outing, Shan Masood led the batting department with 65 off 47 balls along with the support of Leus du Plooy (27) to post 168 on the board. Then Matt McKiernan had three scalps, while Hayden Kerr and Mark Watt picked two each to help the team win the game by 39 runs. 

The team is not likely to tinker with the winning combination in this fixture and look to continue the momentum. However, the Masood-led side will have to win most of their upcoming games to have a strong claim on the quarter-final spots. 

On the other hand, Yorkshire have been impressive to secure five victories in nine appearances, albeit one ending as a tie. As a result, they are placed fourth on the North Group points table. In their last outing, the knock of Adam Lyth (81) and contribution of 48 runs each from Finn Allen and Tom Kohler Cadmore propelled the team to post 201 on the board. 

Jack Schutt scalped four wickets, while Dom Bess finished with 2/24 to help Yorkshire win the game by a significant margin of 65 runs. The team will hope to find contributions from their talented players like Harry Brook and Shadab Khan, who have been in-form this year in their respective appearances.
