The match will be played on July 10 at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street.
We have only two rounds of league stage cricket left in the ongoing T20 Blast season and there are still teams vying for a place in the quarter-final. As Durham take on Derbyshire, they will aim for maximum points to jump up the table that could give a shot at booking a place into the next round.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Durham Preview
Durham have displayed mixed form in the T20 Blast 2026 campaign. They have played 10 games in which they have won 4 matches and lost 6 matches.
Their notable victories include wins over Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and Middlesex, while showing resilience in close contests. They sit at 4th place in the North Group and will be looking to push for a playoff spot in the remaining matches.
Durham’s batting brilliance is led by experienced veterans. Captain Alex Lees (33) has been in strong form with 464 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 168.12 including a well made 108 off 64 against Middlesex. He was in terrific touch in the last game scoring 80 runs off 44 balls that led Durham to an 8 wickets victory vs Leicestershire.
Graham Clark (252 runs in 10 innings), Colin Ackermann (167 runs in 10 innings), and Ollie Robinson (158 runs in 8 innings) provide good depth and stability throughout the batting-order. Clark in particular has to play an important role if Durham want to secure a win here.
The bowling attack has been led by England international pacer Matthew Potts, who has taken 17 wickets in 9 matches. Throughout the campaign so far, he has bagged four 3-fer and his best performance is 3/18 vs Middlesex.
He is well-supported by Callum Parkinson (16 wickets in 10 matches), Kasey Aldridge (13 wickets in 10 matches), and Ben Raine (12 wickets in 9 matches), all of them taking wickets in double digit.
Durham Predicted Playing XI:
Graham Clark, Alex Lees (C), Ben McKinney, Colin Ackermann, Ollie Robinson (WK), Brydon Carse, Nathan Sowter, Kasey Aldridge, Matthew Potts, Callum Parkinson, Luke Robinson.

Derbyshire Preview
Derbyshire sits at the bottom of the North Group points table after 10 games, winning only 2 matches and have lost 6 games with 2 games ended in tie.
Their only wins came in back-to-back games against Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire in what was their 3rd and 4th overall match of the season. They are now very much out of reckoning for a playoff spot and would mostly look to end the season strong in the remaining two games.
Derbyshire have a strong batting department and are led by consistent performers. Aneurin Donald has been in excellent form with 390 runs in 10 innings while Martin Andersson (338 runs in 10 innings) has also played some wonderful knocks.
Donald started the season a bit off in the opening games but it's his performance that played a huge role in the side’s two victories, playing a wonderful knock of 84 off 31 balls in one of those games.
Martin Andersson has equally been brilliant, scoring four half-centuries this season including his best performance of 81 unbeaten off 56 deliveries vs Yorkshire.
But it's not been only about the two, the batting unit has played as a whole as three other batters have scored more than 200 individual runs. Ross Whiteley (266 runs in 10 innings), and Matthew Montgomery (243 runs) and Wayne Madsen ( 226 runs) have all contributed strongly other than the two star batters of the side.
The bowling attack has been effective, led by Nick Potts, who has taken 14 wickets in 10 matches. He is well-supported by Martin Andersson (11 wickets in 8 matches), Ben Aitchison (11 wickets in 8 matches), and Akif Javed (11 wickets in 10 matches).
Derbyshire Predicted Playing XI:
Aneurin Donald (C, WK), Martin Andersson, Harry Came, Matthew Montgomery, Ross Whiteley, Wayne Madsen, Yusaf Naeem, Nick Potts, Jack Morley, Sufiyan Muqeem, Akif Javed.

Moderate ScoringPace Bowling

Average Turn
The pitch at Riverside Ground is generally balanced but slightly seam-friendly in T20 cricket. It offers good pace, bounce, and carry early on, helping pacers swing and seam the new ball, especially under cloudy North East conditions. The average first innings score hovers around 137 this season.
Toss: To Bowl
The captain who wins the toss would most likely bowl first. Overall in 5 games played at the venue, teams have struggled to pass the barrier of 155 runs consistently. So winning the toss and stopping the batting first around 150 runs and chasing the target could be the winning mantra here.
DUR vs DER
Winning Prediction
Durham is the clear favourite to win this match. The outfit has had a much better season compared to Derbyshire who have only 2 wins to show. Durham would be eager to win this game with a place in the quarter-finals up for grabs. With Alex Lees firing with the bat and bowlers Potts, Parkinson, Aldridge and Raine bagging 58 wickets total, this is a game heavily in favour of Durham.
