TEAMS PREVIEW
Northamptonshire Preview
After the tied game against Leicestershire, the Steelbacks' bowling issue has now been highlighted to the opponents. Steelbacks don’t have an experienced bowling attack if you exclude Ravi Bopara. Bopara is their leading wicket-taker with 9 wickets at an economy of 6.65. Raphael Weatherall also has 9 wickets in 9 games. But his economy is well above 11. David Willey should bring his A game against the Durham side or else it will be another difficult battle for Steelbacks batters to go ahead with.
Ricardo Vasconcelos & Matthew Breetzke will open the innings for the Steelbacks. Vasconcelos has 139 runs in 6 innings so far. On the other hand, Breetzke is their leading run-scorer with 299 runs at a strike rate of 151.01. He has hit three half-centuries this season so far. Willey played a 71-run innings in the last game with 7 fours and 3 sixes. But in the remaining games, his average was below 20.
Sikandar Raza in the middle was the batter to watch out for. The all-rounder has 206 runs at a strike rate of 152.59 - the highest among them. But he will be missing the game due to Zimbabwe’s ongoing series against India. Ravi Bopara is having yet another good season with the bat as the veteran has scored 212 runs in 8 innings.
Key Players: Ricardo Vasconcelos, Matthew Breetzke, Ravi Bopara
Northamptonshire Predicted Playing XI:
Ricardo Vasconcelos, Matthew Breetzke, David Willey (c), Ravi Bopara, Sikandar Raza, Saif Zaib, Lewis McManus (wk), Justin Broad, Ben Sanderson, Freddie Heldreich, Raphael Weatherall.

Durham Preview
The third win in a row has raised the hopes of Durham to qualify for the Quarters. Skipper Alex Lees will open the innings with Graham Clark. The duo has scored 1350 runs in the last 25 games played together. Lees is Durham’s leading run-scorer of this season with 282 runs at a strike rate of 132.39. But Lees is having a poor run this year with the bat. He has 1-6 runs in the last 7 games at an average of 15.
David Bedingham should be back after missing the game against the Worcestershire on 5th July. Bedingham has 210 runs in 5 innings at a strike rate of 164.06 - the best amongst the all. He will be the batter to watch out for. The addition of Bas de Leede &^ Michael Jones in the middle has given Durham the safety they were looking for in the middle. Both de Leede & Jones have a strike rate of over 150 while scoring 135 runs together. Leede can also play the role of fifth bowler. He took 2 wickets in the last game giving 24 runs in 4 overs.
Ben Raine will lead the bowling attack with Ben Dwarshuis & Nathan Sowter. Raine is the fifth leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 15 wickets in 8 innings at an average of 13.46. Sowter has 10 wickets in 8 innings with an economy of 7.70. The issue is with the availability of all-rounders in the squad. Except for de Leede, no player is a genuine all-rounder and this might hamper Durham’s chances for the title.
Key Players: Graham Clark, Oliver Robinson, Alex Lees
Durham Predicted Playing XI:
Alex Lees (c), Graham Clark, Colin Ackermann, Oliver Robinson (wk), Ashton Turner, Michael Jones, Ben Dwarshuis, Ben Raine, Bas de Leede, Callum Parkinson, Nathan Sowter.

NOR vs DUR
Winning Prediction
No other batter excluding Lees, Clark, and Bedingham has scored a half-century for Durham this season. They don’t have a proper all-rounder. But they now have three wins in a row. On the other hand, Northamptonshire is falling behind in the tournament with the absence of experienced players. They have not seen a victory in the last three games.
We predict that Durham will defeat Northamptonshire.
