English cricket returns to the One Day Cup after the Vitality Blast and The 100. Yorkshire will take on defending champions, Worcestershire, at Clifton Park Ground, York, on July 29 from 3.30pm onwards. Both teams have won their last two matches and are currently vying for Middlesex for first place in Group Two.
Yorkshire ranks second in the points table with two wins and a loss. They lost their first game to Hampshire by 50 points. But they came back with two wins in the next two matches. They beat Glamorgan by 2 wickets, then recorded a massive 184-run win against Sussex. All eyes will be on 23-year-old William Loxton, who has scored 205 runs in his first three matches.
Worcestershire have won both matches so far. The 2025 One Day Cup champions showed their true potential with a three-wicket win over Derbyshire, followed by a four-run win over Hampshire. A win could take them to first place in the points table. Fateh Singh took 9 wickets for them in the first two matches. Worcestershire has achieved 4 wins in its last 5 matches against Yorkshire. But in the last match, they were beaten by Yorkshire by four wickets.

Toss: To the bat
There is no toss information available for this place.
Both teams are equally talented in their bowling attack, taking 90% wickets in their respective matches. So tomorrow’s match will depend on the batting line-up. For Yorkshire, Loxton is the only batsman who has shown consistency (A).T-top with 205 runs in 3 matches. But for Worcestershire, the batting attack is more evenly distributed. Daniel Lategan will be the difference between the two teams.
We predict that Worcestershire will defeat Yorkshire.
