2012 was the most successful season for the Yorkshire Vikings when they ended up being runners-up, falling short by just 10 runs in the final against Hampshire at Cardiff.
In a repeat of the 2017 season, they failed to finish in the top four last year and ended up fifth in the North Group standings with seven wins and as many losses. Yorkshire got off to a pretty good start with three wins in their first four matches but struggled to maintain consistency thereafter.
Adam Lyth scored the most runs (401) for the Vikings last time and Steven Patterson was the pick of their bowlers with 12 wickets.

About Vitality Blast T20 2019:
The Vitality Blast 2019 will last from July 18 to September 21. This is the 17th year of the competition but only the second since its rebranding. The competition will kick start with the clash between Middlesex and Essex at the iconic Lord’s in London and will have a total of 133 matches. There will be a two-week break between the 4th quarter-final and the 1st semi-final. The Finals day, just like the last year, will comprise the semi-finals and the Final which will be played at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
The 18 first-class counties have been categorized into North and South Group for the T20 event. The league stage will see each team play against six of the other eight teams in its own group twice. The remaining two teams in the group will lock horns once, resulting in a total of 14 group games per team, out of which the top four teams will move ahead to the knockouts in the Quarter-final games.
