TEAMS PREVIEW
Durham Preview
The rainout against Nottinghamshire awarded Durham a point, lifting them two spots in the standings to seventh. They still have a lot of work to do if they harbor any hopes of climbing to the top half of the table.
In the batting department, openers Graham Clark (122 runs in 6 innings at a strike rate of 114) and Alex Lees (127 runs in 6 innings at 119) have done a decent job. However, one of them will need to anchor the innings in this match and get a big score because the middle-order looks fragile.
The only other dependable batter in the lineup is Ashton Turner, who has 122 runs in 5 innings at 135.
Among the bowlers, Ben Raine has been the standout performer, with 9 wickets in 5 innings at an economy of 7.08. You can also back Callum Parkinson and Matthew Potts, who have 6 wickets each this season. Potts has been very economical and can be more than handy on this surface, which will assist seam bowling.
Durham Predicted Playing XI:
Alex Lees (c), Graham Clark, Oliver Robinson (wk), David Bedingham, Ashton Turner, Ben McKinney, Ben Raine, Nathan Sowter, Paul Coughlin, Matthew Potts, Callum Parkinson

Lancashire Preview
Lancashire have won five of the six games they have played so far in the 2024 Vitality Blast, which has taken them to the top of the North Group. They are coming off a 25-run win against Leicestershire at Leicester, where they restricted the opposition to 137-9 after posting 162 on the board.
Luke Wells has been the star of the team’s batting unit this year, scoring 195 runs in 6 innings at a strike rate of 167. He is also their leading wicket-taker, with 9 scalps at an economy of 6.15.
Following him closely is Matthew Hurst, who has 144 runs in 5 innings at 129.
You can also back Steven Croft (129 runs in 5 innings at 128) to get some handy runs down the order.
In the bowling unit, Chris Green is our pick for the bowler to watch out for. The Australian off-spinner has picked up 9 wickets this season in 6 innings at an economy of 6.14.
Luke Wood is a dependable new ball fast bowler, and we do expect an impactful performance from him in this game.
Lancashire Predicted Playing XI:
Luke Wells, Keaton Jennings (c), Josh Bohannon, Tom Bruce, Matthew Hurst (wk), Steven Croft, Chris Green, George Balderson, Luke Wood, Jack Blatherwick, Saqib Mahmood

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street is known for its balanced playing surface. During overcast conditions, fast bowlers may exploit lateral movement generated both off the pitch and through the air. Additionally, the low stands contribute to a prevailing breeze that helps bowlers swing the new ball. These factors are likely to present a significant challenge for batters during the early stages of their innings.
Chester-le-Street is expecting some rain this weekend. On Sunday, the weather will be mostly cloudy with some rain. The match might get affected, and we might have a shortened match.

The average first innings score at Riverside Ground is 159. The highest total posted here is Durham’s 223-2 versus Derbyshire in 2020. Durham won that game by 55 runs. Both the matches played at the venue this season have been low-scoring affairs, with the highest total being Leicestershire’s 140-8 against Durham. Expect another low-scoring contest here, particularly with the cloudy weather, which will give seamers plenty of help.

This year, two matches have been played here – one won by the team chasing and one clinched by the team batting first. With chances of rain during the day of the game, the team winning the toss is likely to bowl first.

Winning Prediction
Lancashire have a 25-11 head-to-head record against Durham in the Vitality T20 Blast. They have already beaten them once this season and are looking good to make it two in a row. Lancashire ‘s batting may not look dangerous, but the unit gets the job done, and the bowlers bowl tight lines and keep taking wickets at regular intervals. Durham’s batting hasn’t fired, and they would need to play out of their skins to take down the table toppers. We are expecting another dominant victory by Lancashire here.
Back Lancashire to emerge victorious in this game.
