Pre-Match Analysis:

Northamptonshire were well on course in the run-chase against Worcestershire however had hiccups in the middle overs which hampered their chances of winning the match. Tom Taylor’s 3 wicket haul and an unbeaten 44* runs went in vain as Northamptonshire fell short by 15 runs. The top 3 batters Ricardo Vasconcelos, Chris Lynn, and David Willey gave a solid start that wasn’t capitalized by the middle order. The bowlers were expensive in the 1st half which needs to be addressed before heading into this match.

Durham had a disappointing last season where they finished 8th in the North Group standings with 7 points. They have made key changes ahead of this year’s competition by signing Bas de Leede and Brandon Glover. Tristan Stubbs who has been named in the South Africa A squad will be replaced by Ashton Turner. England international Alex Lees will be going to lead the side. Their result will totally depend on how their batters going to perform. Wayne Parnell who signed with Durham hasn’t been included in this fixture.
