Yuvraj Singh blitzed a 37-ball 71 but still could not help Yorkshire from going down to a 16-run defeat to Leicestershire in a Twenty20 Cup North division match at Grace Road yesterday.

Chasing a target of 175 in 20 overs in the newly-formulated limited overs format between the county clubs, Yorkshire managed 158 before bowled out.

Yuvraj, coming in at the fall of New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming at six, cracked 14 fours and a six as he added 95 runs for the second wicket with England allrounder Craig White in just 27 minutes. But Yorkshire suffered a middle-order collapse after the dismissal of the Indian left-hander, losing three more wickets for the addition of 10 runs.

For Leicestershire, Brad Hodge slammed 97 from 61 balls and then claimed three for six in his two-over spell to send the Yorks crashing to defeat. If Yuvraj’s innings was the highlight of an Indian performance, Virender Sehwag’s second consecutive nought came as a low point. Sehwag, who scored a duck against Worcestershire in a National Cricket League fixture on Sunday, followed it up with a three-ball zero.

Ironically, he ended on the winning side.
