The battle between two teams occupying the bottom end of the North Group is set to be fascinating this weekend, as Durham go up against Notts Outlaws at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
Durham have been able to get their season up and running with two crucial victories. The successes over Birmingham Bears and Leicestershire have put the team in a decent position compared to the start. Meanwhile, Notts Outlaws are still struggling and they are camped at the foot of the North Group. The winless streak cannot afford to extend further. Notts Outlaws will be hopeful of maximising their excellent head-to-head record against Durham – five consecutive wins – to get the first points of the season.

Notts Outlaws are the only team in the 2024 T20 Vitality Blast without points on the board. The five consecutive defeats have put the team in a very poor position. The team has struggled with its batting order throughout the campaign with only two of the five matches producing a score of 150+.
Jack Haynes is the only player to have hit 100+ runs for Nottinghamshire so far this season. Fortunately for his team, a significant chunk of these runs came in the recent loss against Lancashire. His 45 against Lancashire along with 51 against Northamptonshire in the first game of the season. The latter also produced the best partnership (95) of the season for Notts.
A big improvement for Notts can come in the top order. Joe Clarke has had consecutive duck outs while his best of the season came along with back in the match against Northamptonshire.
In the bowling department, Olly Stone continues to shine for the team with nine wickets so far this season. He has come up with wickets in the last four games without exception, while also being able to chip in some decent numbers with the bat.

The Durham outfit lost by a narrow margin in the game against Leicestershire. It brings a run of consecutive victories to an end for the team. However, the morale is unlikely to be affected for Durham, who have now moved level on points with the likes of Derbyshire and Birmingham. There have been several positives for Durham so far in the last few weeks. The form of Ashton Turner is probably the biggest. After a slow start to the 2024 T20 Vitality Blast, he has been able to hit 33 and 49 in the last two innings.
Graham Clark made a big impression with his 53 not out in the loss against Leicestershire. After struggling in the previous two matches of the Vitality Blast, this innings will give big confidence to the 31-year-old and the batting order.
Ben Raine has been one of the bigger assets for Durham with the ball. The 32-year-old has managed nine wickets to rank as one of the top wicket-takers in the 2024 season. He is not far behind Somerset’s Ben Green, who has 13 wickets so far. Raine was a big factor behind the win over the Bears after managing impressive numbers of 5/21.

Notts Outlaws were able to come close to this average score in the game against Lancashire. Any team which wins the toss will be able to benefit from a hard pitch that will be good for scoring runs in the early overs. As the middle-overs come into the picture, spinners will have a distinct advantage. The ball will struggle to come to the bat and there can be some explosive action with spinners in the middle of the game. There is no threat of rain for this match.

Trent Bridge's surface has been quite good for the domestic T20 matches, which have witnessed an average score of 172 for the first innings. The trend is likely to continue even with Notts Outlaws struggling with the bat so far this season.
It is a tough call for the toss winner, as it is an even split between teams electing to bat or bowl first in the last six matches at the Trent Bridge. Notts Outlaws recently won the toss on this ground against Lancashire and came out with a defeat.
The two teams have shared just two wins so far this season. Notts Outlaws are yet to get off the mark following five straight defeats. Despite having an excellent head-to-head record against Durham, it is expected to be a difficult game for Notts Outlaws. Despite the loss against Leicestershire, Durham had some positives with the form of Graham Clark and Ashton Turner being noteworthy.
Our prediction is for Durham to win
