Finch to blast Yorks to T20 title 11/1

The NatWest T20 Blast takes flight with a new regular Friday night slot but the new schedule has made overseas signings difficult to come by, making Yorkshire's acquisition of Australian powerhouse Aaron Finch all the more impressive and 11/1 for the White Rose to win the competition an inviting prospect.

Finch is one of the most dangerous T20 batsmen in world cricket with an average of 37.48 at 135.97 runs per hundred balls - and his record is even better in international T20s where he holds the world record score - presenting Yorkshire with a superb addition to their squad.

Historically, Yorkshire have a poor record in T20 - which is why they are fifth favourites - but just two years ago reached the final. If a squad in good fettle from an excellent start to the County Championship can discover that form, Finch can add the quality to take them deep into the tournament once again and they are easy to back at 11/1.
