Yorkshire vs Warwickshire Report
The surface at Headingly will offer a lot of pace and bounce to the quick bowlers. And taking into consideration the gloomy conditions, bowlers can trouble the batters early on with a lot of lateral movement. If the bowlers get off to an ideal start, then they will have a very good chance of winning the game.
Past records from the ground suggest that chasing has been quite a challenge for the teams and the chasing teams have only been victorious in 22 out of 60 matches. Hence, it will be absolutely vital for the fielding side to restrict the opposite side to as few runs as possible.
Yorkshire vs Warwickshire Weather Report
Scattered rainfall is on the cards as the weather forecast doesn’t appear to be promising on matchday. The skies will be dominated by dark gray clouds as the precipitation rate is up to 50%.
