TEAMS PREVIEW
Lancashire Preview
Lancashire are clinging to their knockout hopes by the thinnest of threads. A dramatic tie against Derbyshire on Monday left them in third place in the North Group with only four wins from 10 matches.
Their batting has been carried by the extraordinary form of Liam Livingstone. The all-rounder has been their standout performer, accumulating 379 runs in eight innings at an average of 54.14 and a strike rate of 173.05, with three half-centuries. His ability to clear the ropes at will (he has struck 30 sixes) makes him the most dangerous batter in the Lancashire lineup. Ben McDermott has contributed 199 runs, while captain Keaton Jennings has added 177 at the top, though his inconsistency has been a concern. The middle order, featuring Joseph Moores and Matthew Hurst, has shown glimpses but lacks the reliability to support Livingstone consistently.
The bowling attack has been led by the evergreen James Anderson, who has taken six wickets in four matches at an average of 15.16 and an economy of 6.06. Tom Hartley has been the leading wicket-taker with 11 scalps, while Livingstone has chipped in with 11 wickets of his own, his off-spin proving effective on a surface that offers grip. Shadab Khan, making his Old Trafford debut against Derbyshire, impressed with his leg spin and will be a key weapon against Yorkshire’s powerful top order.

Yorkshire Preview
Yorkshire have one foot in the quarter‑finals after Adam Lyth’s sensational 131 not out powered them to a 41‑run win over Leicestershire, their sixth victory in 10 matches. They have found their groove at the perfect time.
Lyth has been the batting hero, and now has 332 runs in the tournament at a strike rate of 177.54, including a century and a half-century. Captain Jonny Bairstow has been the anchor, scoring 349 runs at 38.77 and a strike rate of 147.88, while Moeen Ali’s 182 runs and Matthew Revis’s 180 have provided crucial contributions.
The bowling attack has been transformed by the arrival of Pakistan seamer Hasan Ali, who has taken 22 wickets in nine matches at an average of just 11.18. His ability to swing the ball both ways and bowl at the death has made him the tournament’s most impactful bowler. Andrew Tye has been the perfect foil, taking 17 wickets with his clever variations, including 4 for 15 in the last match. Jafer Chohan’s leg spin has provided control through the middle overs, while Moeen Ali’s off spin has been a useful option.
Yorkshire Predicted Playing XI:
Adam Lyth, Jonny Bairstow (c/wk), William Luxton, Sam Whiteman, Moeen Ali, Matthew Revis, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Andrew Tye, Jafer Chohan, Daniel Moriarty

Emirates Old Trafford has produced balanced contests in this tournament rather than high-scoring run-fests. The average first-innings score across the three matches played here is 168, with totals of 208, 145 and 150. Batters have enjoyed the conditions when they apply themselves early, but the surface has also offered enough assistance for seamers through the middle overs. The venue has produced three different results so far: one successful defence, one successful chase, and one tie. A score of around 175-180 should be competitive, although teams batting first may look to push beyond 180 to stay on the safer side.
Toss: To Bat
The match is scheduled for a 6:30 PM local start at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester. In all three games played at the venue this season in the Blast, the toss-winning team has opted to bat first. The captain who wins the toss here is, hence, likely to bat first.

Winning Prediction
Lancashire have game-changers who can decide a match in just one over, with Liam Livingstone leading that list. However, Yorkshire have looked like the more complete side this season. Armed with a commanding 4-1 head-to-head record and a strong bowling attack featuring Hasan Ali and Andrew Tye, the visitors have every chance of handling the Old Trafford challenge and picking up an important two points.
Yorkshire are our picks for the winners of this game.
