The second game of the English T20 Blast 2023 will see Warwickshire (WAS) take on Yorkshire (YOR) at Edgbaston in Birmingham. This WAS vs YOR contest is a North Group fixture.
Warwickshire topped the group stages last year with nine wins in 14 games but went down against Hampshire in their quarter-final clash. It is a new season now and they will be hoping to start the competition on a winning note while facing Yorkshire at home.
Yorkshire qualified for the finals day last year after beating Surrey in the first quarter-final. They lost the semi-final against Lancashire. Pakistan batter Shan Masood will be leading Yorkshire in the English T20 Blast 2023 and will be looking to go one step further in the upcoming season.

#3 Jonny Bairstow (YOR) – 8.5 credits
Jonny Bairstow made a successful comeback in this year’s county championship after a long layoff due to an injury to his leg. Bairstow represented Yorkshire in two county games and will feature in the English T20 Blast 2023 for a few games before England’s Test season begins.
Bairstow is one of the most destructive batters in white-ball cricket. Once he gets going, he is hard to stop and Yorkshire will be hoping that he finds form in their first game of the tournament on Saturday. You can bet on him to score big in the upcoming WAS vs YOR game.
#2 Sam Hain (WAS) – 8.5 credits
Sam Hain represents Warwickshire in the English domestic competitions. The right-handed batter has been one of the most consistent performers for the county side in white-ball cricket. He is Warwickshire’s leading run-scorer in the shortest format and is a player to look forward to in the WAS vs YOR game.
Hain has amassed 2,992 runs in 106 innings in T20 cricket. He has hit 20 fifties and a century, with a highest score of 112*. You can rely on this right-handed batter to earn you a few points on Saturday.
#1 Dawid Malan (YOR) – 8.5 credits
Dawid Malan has been one of the most consistent performers for the English side in the shortest format. Malan is ranked eighth in the ICC batters’ rankings and has been a vital cog in the English T20 batting lineup in recent times.
Malan represents Yorkshire in the domestic competitions and has been a prolific run-scorer for them. The southpaw is often credited for the way he paces his innings and you can bet on him to fetch you valuable points in Yorkshire’s opening game.
