THE PREDICTION
The Roses match at Emirates Old Trafford looks like being hugely significant in terms of knockout qualification for both teams. Yorkshire Vikings won the reverse fixture at Emerald Headingley, with overseas fast bowler Lockie Ferguson taking a hat-trick and Lancashire Lightning will be desperate for revenge here. A close contest is anticipated as you would expect between these two fierce rivals, however the large number of players absent from the visiting side due to international commitments could just give Lancashire the edge and with home advantage also in their favour, the Red Rose should be narrowly favoured for victory.
