THE PREDICTION
The first ever Roses match to take place on finals-day should prove another barnstorming encounter between Yorkshire Vikings and Lancashire Lightning if their last two fixtures are anything to go by. A tied-game at Emirates Old Trafford was followed by a four-run win for the Lightning at Clean Slate Headingley in a match that went right to the final ball. Whilst Yorkshire scraped through to finals-day courtesy of an incredible comeback against South Group winners Surrey, Lancashire comprehensively defeated Essex Eagles despite missing four key players through international duty.
Both counties are expected to be without the majority of their England players once again, although batter Dawid Malan will return for Yorkshire and fast bowler Richard Gleeson for Lancashire. Across the course of the competition this year, the Red Rose have shown more consistency than the White Rose and their strength-in-depth of their squad is undeniable. It’s also worth nothing than Yorkshire Vikings have beaten Lancashire Lightning just once in their last nine completed T20 Blast fixtures, losing seven with one tie. Therefore, back Lancashire Lightning to edge what should be another nail-biting Roses clash that goes right to the wire.
