YOR vs LAN Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today’s English Test County Championship Match - July 11, 2021
The English Test County Championship fixture between the Yorkshire Vikings and the Lancashire Lightning will get underway at Headingley in Leeds from Sunday.
The two sides have already qualified for the English Test County Championship’s top group scheduled to be held in late August and through September. The upcoming game will serve as the final group fixture between the two teams.
The Yorkshire Vikings are currently perched atop the Group 3 standings with 141 valuable points. They have managed to bag five wins and three draws from their nine matches. They won their last English Test County Championship match against the Northamptonshire Steelbacks by 53 runs. The Vikings, who are on a two-game winning streak, will be hoping to stretch it to three when they face their arch-rivals at Headingley.
Lancashire Lightning, on the other hand, have played nine matches so far, winning and drawing four apiece. They are placed just below their opponents in the Group 3 points table. They are just two points behind the table-toppers. Their last English Test County Championship meeting with the Kent Spitfires ended in a stalemate. The Lightning, who claimed a 79-run victory over the Vikings in the reverse fixture earlier this summer, will be looking forward to claiming a memorable double over their opponents and, in turn, returning to winning ways.
The two teams have a long list of injury concerns and unavailability issues, but that should not serve to lessen the importance of this final group fixture. While the Vikings will miss the services of Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, David Willey and Will Fraine, the Lightning will be without Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Saqib Mahmood and Matthew Parkinson.
All in all, an intriguing top-of-the-table English Test County Championship fixture beckons at Headingley.
