DUR vs NOR Team Previews

Durham

Durham made a few changes to the lineup in the off-season, with the addition of Ollie Robinson, Nathan Sowter, Brandon Glover, and Bas de Leede. There are also some decent international options like David Bedingham (South Africa), Matthew Kuhnemann (Australia), and Tristan Stubbs (South Africa). For the most part, these signings have proved efficient and Durham has looked great out there on the field.

Last season, Michael Jones (319) and Graham Clark (280) were the top scorers for Durham, and although these two have performed well enough with the bat and have over 100 runs this season, the team is relying on two others. Robinson (222 runs) and Lees (177) have been excellent, with Robinson especially effective with three scores of 50 and above in his last four games.

New signing Sowter has already been a great inclusion for the bowling with 9 wickets, not to mention his amazing 5/15 performance in a win over Northamptonshire earlier this season. Raine has been fantastic yet again like last season, as he has 8 wickets. Andrew Tye left Durham to switch to Northamptonshire this season, and his 21 wickets in 2022 would be missed, but Sowter and Raine are filling the void.

Durham Playing 11

Graham Clark, Alex Lees, Michael Jones, Ollie Robinson, Ashton Turner, Bas de Leede, Liam Trevaskis, Ben Raine, Wayne Parnell, Nathan Sowter, Luke Robinson.


Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire’s resurgence in the last two games has been fuelled largely by the great batting efforts of Vasconcelos (198 runs), Lynn (185), and Zaib (166). It’s fair to say that Vasconcelos and Zaib are perhaps more reliable at the crease, but Lynn always has that chance to do something epic when he’s batting. It’s often feast or famine with Lynn, as his last three games have had scores of 9, 110*, and 7, but you know something special can come with him.

You just know that Tye is going to love bowling against his old team, and Durham should be slightly worried, as he’s looking as good as ever with 9 wickets. He can be expensive, too, as he’s given up a whopping 214 runs. We also like the contributions from Heldreich (7 wickets) and Taylor (6 wickets), as Heldreich has been quite economical with 120 runs given up.

Emilio Gay, Chris Lynn, David Willey, Josh Cobb, Saif Zaib, Lewis McManus, Tom Taylor, Andrew Tye, James Sales, Ben Sanderson, Freddie Heldreich.

DUR vs NOR Toss Prediction

Any team winning the toss may look to bowl first and get the most out of the pitch. It’s fairly even with regards to the ground’s history of T20 games, as the team bowling first has won 29 times out of 60 games, as opposed to 31 when batting first.

Pitch and Conditions

The Riverside Ground is regarded as a balanced pitch, but pace bowlers have been known to get a lot of movement in the first overs with the new ball. Batters will need to be extra careful in the first innings to watch the swing. Several games are below 150 runs, which means it’s often a low-scoring pitch.

DUR vs NOR Betting Tips

Northamptonshire has slightly better Mostbet odds for this matchup, although it’s very close and you can’t really go wrong with a bet on either team. Still, the overall form of Northamptonshire has been promising and you know they’ll want revenge for the loss to Durham just a few weeks ago. Durham has talent, but we worry about their middle order, ability to hit in the death overs, and often poor bowling in the Powerplay.

If Vasconcelos and Lynn can both have standout batting performances, and Tye and Heldreich can each take at least two wickets without giving up any more than 40 runs, then Northamptonshire will take this game easily.

Bet on Northamptonshire to win.
