YOR vs WOR Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's T20 Blast Match - June 23rd, 2021
The North Group of the T20 Blast 2021 features a marquee clash between Yorkshire and Worcestershire at Headingley on Wednesday.
Yorkshire have been one of the teams to beat in the North Group with four wins in six games. Although they are well on course for a knockout spot, Yorkshire are in for a tricky phase in the T20 Blast. Their stars Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan and Adil Rashid are off for international duty, leaving them thin on resources. However, the arrival of Joe Root adds stability to the batting unit with the likes of Adam Lyth and Tom Kohler-Cadmore also capable of destroying T20 Blast opponents at the top of the order. The onus will be on Lockie Ferguson to lead a rather inexperienced attack as Yorkshire eye another win against Worcestershire.
Speaking of Worcestershire, they come into this game on the back of a woeful performance against Nottinghamshire. They succumbed to a 10-wicket loss as they slipped further down the T20 Blast table. While Moeen Ali's absence did hurt them, they will be expecting an improved performance against Yorkshire as they try to sustain their hopes of a knockout spot. Both teams are well and truly capable of bossing the fixture, making for an even contest at Headingley. With valuable points up for grabs, we are in for an absolute thriller in the T20 Blast on Wednesday.

Pitch Report
Batsmen are expected to dominate proceedings with not much help on offer for the bowlers. Although the ball should skid nicely on to the bat, the bowlers are likely to revert to off-pace deliveries as the match progresses. Spin could also play a role in the middle overs with wickets in hand being key for the batting side. 170 should be par at Headingley, with either side likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.
