Fresh from a victory over the North group table leaders, Durham and Yorkshire will be hoping to pull off an impressive victory in the match. Despite the recent wins, both teams are still in need of points and they remain in the bottom half of the table. Durham are outside the top four only by a point but they have a significant disadvantage on the Net Run Rate (NRR). Despite a positive NRR and a game in hand, Yorkshire’s seventh position is a little concern for the team.
Both teams have pulled off three wins apiece in the last five matches. It has been a very close contest on the head-to-head front with Durham managing one victory and Yorkshire managing two wins in the last five meetings.
Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street gets ready to host the game on June 21.

Durham were relieved to get the win over Lancashire as it comes on the back of disappointing results against Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. The narrow victories for the team in recent matches mean that they are not significantly above the competition in of Net Run Rate. As a result, Durham need the points to be able to jump ahead in the table.
Graham Clark appears to enjoy playing at the Riverside Ground. He is top of the leaderboard by a significant margin with 1310 runs at a strike rate of 139.51. Clark was the star of the chase against Lancashire after managing 87 – his second half-century in the last two games. Clark has now amassed 209 runs so far in the 2024 T20 Vitality Blast.
Ben Raine had a mediocre outing against Lancashire but he remains Durham’s top bowler of the season with 10 wickets – 6 behind the table leader. Raine has excelled in the Chester-le-Street matches with 29 wickets from his 29 innings. A three-wicket haul against Lancashire has helped Callum Parkinson come a close second with nine wickets.

Yorkshire were able to breathe a sigh of relief after the victory over Lancashire. After the losses against Bears and Leicestershire, it was of paramount importance that the team returned to winning ways. Yorkshire have a game in hand over most other teams in the North Group and the team will be hopeful about making the most of this game and returning to winning ways.
If Yorkshire still have a fighting chance of finishing in the top four of the North group, it is bound to happen due to the performances of Dawid Malan, who has shined so far this season with 237 runs. Even though he was dismissed for just 14 against Lancashire, the 36-year-old has provided 30+ runs in each of his last four innings. The likes of Lyth, Root, and Masood have also been decisive with their contributions so far.
Jordan Thompson has been the most successful bowler for Yorkshire so far this season. The 27-year-old has picked up 11 wickets in the 2024 season after the two-wicket haul against Lancashire. Thompson also proved to be quite useful with the bat after his 22 runs turned out to be very crucial in getting the victory.

The Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street was built in 1995. It has not been able to host a lot of the T20 matches, as a majority of the games held here have been test and ODI matches. The highest T20 score put up on this ground was 195 by England against Australia.
The pitch is unlikely to aid fast bowlers but there will be enough bounce. The team which wins the toss is likely to elect to bowl first. Only two out of the seven T20 games played at this ground have seen teams batting first win the game.
Both Durham and Yorkshire have experienced plenty of inconsistencies over the last few matches. However, they are in desperate need of three points to improve their position on the league table. Aided by players like Graham Clark being in good form, this game is likely to witness a decent victory for the home team.
Our prediction is for Durham to win
