WORCESTERSHIRE Rapids will be defending the last surviving unbeaten record in the 2018 Vitality Blast when they take on Yorkshire Vikings at Blackfinch New Road today (1pm).

The competition is less than a third of a way through the group stages but all the other teams have been beaten at least once.

Rapids made it four wins out of four in the North Group thanks to Friday’s 41-run success over visiting Northamptonshire Steelbacks.

Head coach Kevin Sharp has named an unchanged 13-strong squad to face the challenge of Vikings in the televised fixture.

Head bowling coach Alan Richardson said: “We all know this form of the game can be a bit of a lottery.

“We are just trying to stay as consistent as we can in what we do and it gives us a chance of winning a game of cricket.

“Yorkshire are a good, strong side so it will be another challenge for us on Sunday.”

Rapids from: Guptill, Clarke, Head, Mitchell, D’Oliveira, Cox, Whiteley, Barnard, Wood, Brown, Pennington, Rhodes, Carter.
