Last week I did not get the Yorkshire against me, even though during the race the performance came to 8.00, but some of the risks that took them came out and they won an unbeatable victory in the derby. 

Yet today Yorkshire continues to have the same problems. There are a lot of players missing with their national teams, the big names of the team, and they do not manage to do miracles every day and win races from nowhere.

Northamptonshire has already won the Yorkshire once again when the guests were full and had a stronger team. I do not see why last year's champions are given as an outsider in this game and it's definitely a performance to be bet. Especially after the bad appearances in the County Division Championship, Northamptonshire have put the Natwest T20 Blast championship as their first priority and want this game to start their course to win the title.

Great derby today in England's T20 Championship, among the traditional enemies of Lancashire and Yorkshire. The famous battle of roses (or the war of roses) as Lancashire's mark is a red rose, while the Yorkshire mark is a white rose.

The fight is at Old Trafford and usually in the derby, the seat plays a key role. But for me, it is the big absences of the Yorkshire team, since Root, Balance and Williamson are missing with their national teams and so the guests lose a lot of their strength.

On the other hand, Lancashire returns Butler from England and finally their batting gets deep and they are expected to show more aggressive power and score higher than they used to date. Of course, their low scoring did not disturb them so far as they managed to defend and score like 133 and 126 and somehow so they are at the top of the score with 4 wins at 5 races.

From Lancashire Flintoff will not be back again, but Butler's return seems more important. I think that in this game the hosts have the lead, their performance should be a bit lower. Red roses seem to have everything they need to win the war of roses.
