T20 Blast 2022 | YOR vs WOR | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

The first day of the T20 Blast 2022 will see the Yorkshire Vikings taking on Worcestershire Rapids on Wednesday (May 25) at Headingley Cricket Ground, Leeds. 


Last year, Yorkshire had an average season as they finished off at the second spot in the North Group with nine wins in 14 matches. However, they will be without the services of Jonny Bairstow as he has just returned from the IPL and is on a short break before joining the team. David Willey is also not available for this match as he is currently in India with RCB.


Albeit the big names are missing from the Yorkshire line-up, some potential players are in their arsenal. Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Tom-Kohler Cadmore, and Harry Brooks will handle the batting duties, while Adil Rashid, Shadab Khan and Haris Rauf will make up the core of the bowling line-up.  


On the other hand, Worcestershire finished at the 5th spot in the same group as Yorkshire and couldn't proceed to the knockouts. This time they'll be looking for a better season. 


Worcestershire will be missing the services of their key players Moeen Ali and Dwayne Bravo as they too returned from India and will join the team after a brief pause. Instead, Jack Haynes, Jake Libby, Tom Fell, Pat Brown, Ed Barnard, and Dillon Pennington are the players to look out for Worcestershire.

#OTD in 1999 | Bangladesh tasted their first victory in World Cup

On this day in 1999, Bangladesh secured a 22-run victory over Scotland to register their first-ever win in a World Cup fixture at Edinburgh. Ahead of this encounter, Scotland was coming after facing defeat against Australia and Pakistan in the 1999 ODI World Cup in England. Captain George Salmond was leading the team on his home ground. On the other hand, Bangladesh had lost to New Zealand and West Indies in their first two outings. The hosts won the toss and opted to field first, and had a terrific first hour with the ball. Then, in the third over, John Blain provided the breakthrough where Khaled Mashud mistimed a pull and was sent packing for a duck. Blain made further inroads to trap captain Aminul Islam and Faruque Ahmed, chopping on to initiate a further collapse. The left-arm pacer Asim Butt was accurate with his line and lengths to Akram Khan and Mehrab Khan, and the visitors were reeling at 26/5 in the 11th over. After the edge of Minhajul Abedin was dropped at the first slip, he made full use of this opportunity to recover the team from early blows and showed composure along with Khaled Mahmud. The duo stitched a stand of 69 runs before James Brinkley took an important wicket of Mahmud. In the end, Abedin remained unbeaten at 68 off 116 balls, with six fours and the team could post 185. In reply, Bruce Patterson was adjudged LBW by a perfect in-swing delivery off Hasibul Hossain in the innings' second ball. Other bowlers, Manjural Islam and Khaled Mahmud, also chipped in to pick wickets consistently. Only two batters, Gavin Hamilton and wicket-keeper Alec Davies, could deliver fine knocks of 63 and 32, respectively, and Scotland was dismissed for a total of 163 and fell short by 22 runs. After this win, Bangladesh was confident enough to beat Pakistan as well, but not seal a spot in the Super 6 stage. On the other hand, Scotland was win-less in their five league matches.
