Notts Outlaws vs Yorkshire Vikings prediction

Having prioritised winning the County Championship last season, the Notts Outlaws have a bit more white-ball experience for this year with specialists George Munsey, Tom Moores and Benny Howell alongside overseas all-rounder George Linde.

Yorkshire named a stellar lineup for their recent clash with Surrey in the red-ball stuff, featuring Joe Root and Harry Brook alongside Jonny Bairstow. The latter being available for the whole of the Blast has to mark the Vikings out as one of the favourites immediately.

These do appear to be two strong teams on paper but their white-ball experience, as well as home advantage, does mark the Outlaws as favourites out for this one.
