YOR vs NOR Match Preview:
Yorkshire will play Northamptonshire in the fifth Vitality T20 Blast 2025 match at the storied Headingley stadium. Yorkshire arrives with mixed momentum, holding a W–L–W record in their last three games, including a solid 39-run win over South Asian Cricket Academy where they posted 157/8 and restricted the opposition to 118/8.
On the other side, Northamptonshire rebounded from a tough loss to Birmingham Bears with a recent win against the same South Asian unit. However, in the longer format, they suffered a significant defeat to Leicestershire after being bowled out for 191 while chasing 304.
Yorkshire boasts a powerful top order, including Joe Root and Dawid Malan, supported by seasoned campaigners like Shan Masood and Jordan Thompson. Northamptonshire will lean heavily on skipper David Willey and all-rounder Saif Zaib to counter Yorkshire's home edge.
Though there's no recent head-to-head history between the two sides in T20s, both teams bring enough firepower to make this a gripping contest.
YOR vs NOR Head-to-Head:
No head-to-head record available in recent T20 encounters.
YOR vs NOR Pitch Report:
Headingley traditionally offers good pace and bounce early on, assisting seamers under lights. As the game progresses, batters find it easier to score, especially square of the wicket.
