The weather at Chester-le-street on Friday, 20th June is expected to be around 23°C and it is going to be a cloudy day with no chances of rain and the wind blowing at 14 km/hr and 58% humidity.
The pitch at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-street offers a balanced track that favours both the batters and bowlers. The average 1st innings score in the last three Women's T20 blast matches played at this venue is 163 runs.
Teams bowling first won two of the three matches played at Riverside Ground this season and we predict the team that wins the toss will opt to bowl first.
Essex Women are the favourites to win this contest. Despite their recent poor run of form, they have lost most of their matches by narrow margins, with all of them going down to the wire. They possess a far stronger batting and bowling attack than Durham Women, who are winless in all three matches played at Chester-le-Street this season.
