YORKSHIRE Phoenix were today meeting Nottinghamshire Outlaws at Headingley (5.30pm) in the last group game in the Twenty20 Cup keen to preserve their 100 per cent winning record in home matches.
They have already beaten Derbyshire and Durham at Headingley by convincing margins but defeats against Leicestershire at Grace Road and Lancashire at Old Trafford mean they are left with only the slimmest of chances of progressing to the semi-finals and final at Trent Bridge on July 19.
Yorkshire expect to have New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming back in the side after missing Sunday's National League game against Leicestershire with a bruised big toe and they will be looking for another explosive innings from Indian Yuvraj Singh ,who has so far plundered 150 runs in the competition with 26 fours and two sixes.
Nottinghamshire go into the game with only one win in four matches but another big gate is anticipated even if neither side can progress any further.
Yorkshire Phoenix from: Wood, White, Yuvraj, Fleming, Lumb, Blakey, Craven, Hamilton, Bresnan, Silverwood, Gray, Sidebottom, Swanepoel.
Former Yorkshire chairman Keith Moss is organising a 364 Ashes lunch at Headingley on August 28 in memory of Pudsey's greatest son, Sir Leonard Hutton.
Tickets for the lunch cost £25 and can be obtained by contacting Keith Moss on 01132 578199.
