Both teams look well-matched on paper, but Yorkshire hold the edge in the upcoming T20 Blast fixture, given their superior depth and balance. However, one cannot rule out Lancashire, who have the experienced Dane Vilas in their ranks. All in all, a cracking T20 Blast game beckons at Old Trafford on Saturday.
