Warwickshire Bears will lock horns with Yorkshire Vikings in Match 65 of T20 Blast 2022 on June 10 (Friday) at Edgbaston, Birmingham. It is expected to be a fitting contest due to the competitiveness of both the teams in the past. 

Warwickshire have been impressive with five wins in seven appearances and are positioned second in the North Group points table. In their last league match, Craig Miles led the bowling unit with 3 wickets to restrict the opposition to 141. Then Alex Davies (49) and Adam Hose (28*) were the key contributors to chase down the score in 18 overs. 

The team management has announced an unchanged squad, which has gained momentum with 2 wins on the trot. The experienced players, Carlos Brathwaite and Paul Stirling, will be on the lookout to come up with improved performances in this game. 

On the other hand, Yorkshire were below average, with the ball conceding 213. Then, Tom Kohler-Cadmore (77) and David Willey (52) provided a quickfire stand, but the team fell short by four runs. With three wins in seven league matches, Vikings are placed fourth in the points table. 

The seasoned campaigner Harry Brook is expected to join the XI and strengthen their quarter-final hopes. However, the players such as Dawid Malan and Adil Rashid have not delivered their best performances and will hold the key for the team in this fixture.
