DUR vs LEI Match Prediction & Analysis
This day-night clash at Chester-le-Street should be an exciting clash as Durham host T20 cricket for the first time in this 2026 Men's Vitality Blast season.
The north east side, who recently lost their Head of Cricket, Marcus North, to the England and Wales Cricket Board, will be well supported in this game on Sunday which promises to be played under beautiful sunny skies.
As for Leicestershire, their opening game saw them take more wickets than their opponents but still came up short by 18 runs so they will need to reassess their approach for this clash.
Chester-le-Street is the place to be on Sunday!

TEAMS PREVIEW
Durham Preview
Any team who passes 200 has a good chance of victory in a T20 clash in the UK and Durham made sure that was the case, but only just, when they visited Derby and emerged with a six run win.
Key to the victory was skipper and opener Alex Lees who hit 54 runs from 28 balls with an innings that included 6x fours and 3x sixes while keeper-batter Ollie Robinson produced the highest strike-rate with 48 runs from 24 balls.
With the ball, Nathan Sowter is the only bowler to come into this game after going wicketless on Friday but spinner Callum Parkinson impressed with three wickets and Ben Raine was also impressive with 2/32.
Durham have got their first win and will be looking to make it two from two.
Durham Predicted Playing XI:
Graham Clark, Alex Lees (c), David Bedingham, Ben Raine, Colin Ackermann, Ollie Robinson (wk), Will Rhodes, Kasey Aldridge, Matthew Potts, Nathan Sowter, Callum Parkinson

Leicestershire Preview
Although Leicestershire were unable to get their first win of the campaign, there were positives to take from Friday's defeat with both bat and ball into this clash in Durham.
Opening bowler Josh Davey took 3/32 from four overs while Ben Green took 2/25 and the pair will be key if Leicestershire are to keep on top of their hosts with the bat.
Stephen Eskinazi has been in fantastic form in four day cricket but made only nine runs on Friday. However, he has a brilliant white ball record and will be a player who Leicestershire put plenty of hopes in.
Nick Kelly, 61 not out, and Ben Cox, 51 not, both come into this clash in excellent form.
Leicestershire Predicted Playing XI:
Stephen Eskinazi, Sol Budinger, Rishi Patel, Nick Kelly, Ashton Turner, Ben Cox (wk), Ben Green (c), Liam Trevaskis, Ben Mike, Josh Davey, Josh Hull
