Yorkshire Vikings v Northamptonshire Sticklebacks 
Royal London One Day Cup Group A
Tuesday August 18th
at Headingley
starting at 10:30

So with one match left, here's how the table looks. Surrey and Gloucs have qualified. Durham have played their full amount of games and lie 4th on 9 points, behind Yorkshire on run rate. In 5th spot with 8 points are our opponents in this final group game, Northamptonshire Sticklebacks.

A win for Northants would see them through. A win for us would see us through. A massive defeat though for Yorkshire may see us fall behind Durham on run rate and therefore into 5th and not qualifying. Somebody somewhere will be able to work out run rate, but I'm no Rachel Riley. 

Team News (from YCCC website):

Head coach Jason Gillespie has selected a 15-man squad. Included are England hopefuls Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid. The Vikings will be waiting to see if Plunkett and Rashid will be made available by the ECB after both players were selected in England’s squad for the final Ashes Test of the summer at the Kia Oval starting on Thursday. Yorkshire also include youngsters Matthew Waite and Karl Carver.
