TEAMS PREVIEW
Yorkshire Preview
With five matches to go before the season comes to an end, Yorkshire will be hoping to put their best foot forward, as they get set to take on the table-toppers Sussex. Shan Masood has left for international duty, and wicket-keeper batsman Jonathan Tattersall will most likely be taking the reins in the Pakistaniβs absence.
Sussex Preview
Sussex are having an excellent run, winning five and drawing three of their nine matches so far. Their only loss of the competition came against Glamorgan back in May, a good three months ago. Theyβll head into this final leg of the competition, their confidence surging.
Weather Conditions
One of those high-scoring venues on the county scene , the Scarborough surface offers a lot of assistance to batsmen, especially in the first couple of days. Teams generally look to draw out their first innings and pile on the runs with an aim to post an imposing total on the board – usually over 425 runs. Itβs not that bowlers donβt get a look-in at all on this deck. Bowlers ready to bend their backs can extract enough from the wicket to trouble the batsmen, as the wicket starts deteriorating. Weather doesnβt look too encouraging, with light rain and windy conditions in prospect for three days.
YOR vs SUS Pitch Report
The North Marine Road Ground, Scarborough in North Yorkshire will be hosting this contest. The hosts have improved their record here avoiding a defeat in the last three matches. They couldnβt quite tap the home advantage here in 2022 and lost both their matches, resulting in their relegation to Division 2.
