Durham has been one of the best teams in the tournament with 4 wins in their 5 matches. Their only loss came in a rain-truncated match where the DL method played a big part in the result. Mathew Richardson scored a brilliant 72* to guide his team in a tricky chase of 260 last match. Skipper Bancroft, Mathew Richardson, and Jack Burham made vital contributions and built partnerships. Their bowling unit restricted the opposition line-up to scores around 250 runs in two back-to-back matches. They have contributions from all the bowlers with 5-6 wicket takers in each match. Brydon Chase and Mathew Salisbury are the chief wicket-takers for the team with 10 & 7 wickets respectively. Ben Raine and Lewis Trevaskis provide good support to the attack and taking important wickets in middle overs. Durham has a well-rounded attack with batting and bowling attacks both in prime form. 

Lancashire is having an excellent turnaround with a hat-trick of wins after two losses in their first two games. They bowled out the opposition 4 times out of the five matches played so far. Steven Croft, Keaton Jennings, and Hasan Hameed are amongst the top run scorers of the team. Skipper Dane Vilas scored a mighty 16 runs in their match against Nottinghamshire and has no other telling contribution this season. Their bowlers bowled out Leicestershire for a paltry 80 runs and killed the match in the single innings itself. Saqib Mahmood has been their best bowler and has taken 18 wickets so far. Mathew Parkinson, Liam Jones, and Glenn Maxwell have chipped in wickets whenever required. Their bowling unit has made the job of batting unit very easier in last two outings.

Lancashire Preview

Key Players:

Haseeb Hameed – Haseeb Hameed is looking in good form in last two matches with scores of 65 & 29*. He is a classy batsman with proper cricketing shots all around the park. His form at the top will be a vital factor in Lancashire`s batting.

Weather Conditions

Gosforth pitch has been unused this season and both teams will be having a close look at the 22-yard strip. This pitch has traditionally favored bowlers more than the batsmen and we can expect an average score of 250 runs in this match. The weather looks good with clear skies for match day and rains are expected later in the week. 

Toss: WIN the toss, BOWL First

Teams are unsure of the predicted first innings total as this is the first match here for both line-ups this season. They will look to choose a safer option to chase down the total set by the other team.

Lancashire team is on a roll and they have a bowling attack that is firing on all cylinders. Durham is also the in-form team and it is not easy to beat them here. This will be a contest of high voltage and due to the superior bowling attack, we predict Lancashire to win this match.
