Durham Cricket vs Derbyshire Falcons Team Preview

Durham Cricket

Durham enters this match in fifth place in the Vitality T20 Blast 2023, having lost their last two matches. Durham was defeated by Leicestershire Foxes by six wickets with 14 balls remaining in their previous match.

Ollie Robinson and Graham Clark have both scored over 250 runs in the league, and Ashton Turner, an Australian all-rounder, blasted 60 not out from 38 balls in the most recent game. Nathan Sowter, the tournament’s leading wicket-taker, had his 3.4 overs go for 50 runs and got no wickets in the previous match.

Derbyshire Falcons

Derbyshire Falcons is presently eighth in the North Group with six points from eight matches. In their most recent match, they faced top-of-the-table Notts Outlaws and ran them close before falling by three wickets with eight balls remaining.

The Falcons had won three of their previous four games, but they came into this game having lost two of their previous three. Derbyshire opener Haider Ali led the way with three fours and one six in his 37-ball 42 against Notts Outlaws.

Middlesex vs Kent Spitfires at a glance

  • Kent’s five-match losing streak came to an end with Daniel Bell-Drummond 89 off 55.
  • Middlesex has lost eight of its eight games this season.
  • Kent Spitfires have won three of the last four meetings with Middlesex.

Middlesex vs Kent Spitfires Team Preview

Middlesex

Middlesex are four points behind at the bottom of the South Group after losing all eight of their matches this season. All other teams in both the North and South Groups have won at least two matches.

Middlesex captain Steve Eskinazi top scored in their final match, reaching 94 not out from 62 balls at the top of the order in a narrow 4-run defeat to Sussex Sharks. Being a part of the Middlesex bowling attack has been difficult due to frequently defending short totals in the Vitality T20 Blast 2023.

Kent Spitfires

Kent Spitfires have struggled in the T20 Blast for the second season in a row, and they enter this game in seventh place in the South Group. The Spitfires did, however, win their most recent encounter, a convincing 6-wicket triumph over Hampshire Hawks.

The seasoned Joe Denly blasted 41 runs off 29 balls in the triumph over Hampshire Hawks, but it was opener Daniel Bell-Drummond who stood out. In the first over of the triumph against Hampshire, Netherlands international Fred Klaassen took a significant wicket of James Vince and then came back to dismiss Toby Albert in the next over.

Worcestershire Rapids vs Birmingham Bears at a glance

  • In a game played in Birmingham, Birmingham Bears easily defeated Northamptonshire Steelbacks.
  • Birmingham Bears’ recent encounter included outstanding performances from Sam Hain, Alex Davies, Dan Mousley, and Moeen Ali.
  • Worcestershire was defeated by Yorkshire Vikings in a high-scoring game.

Worcestershire Rapids vs Birmingham Bears Team Preview

Worcestershire Rapids

The Rapids had a fantastic start to this year’s T20 Blast, but they have struggled in their last few games and have fallen down the table. They have eight points from seven matches and are fourth in the North Group heading into this matchup.

Worcestershire will see changes at the top of the order as New Zealand all-rounder Michael Bracewell, who had been opening the batting, damaged his Achilles in the previous match and will be out for several months. Although Pat Brown recorded expensive figures of 0-56 in the last match against Yorkshire Vikings, it was the first time he had gone wicketless in this year’s league.

Birmingham Bears

After a string of losses, Warwickshire returned to winning ways in their most recent T20 Blast encounter, defeating Northamptonshire Steelbacks by 30 runs last Friday. The Bears are second in the North Group with 10 points from eight matches.

Birmingham Bears have lost three consecutive games before defeating Northamptonshire Steelbacks by 30 runs in their most recent match. Sam Hain has been the outstanding batter for the Birmingham Bears throughout this tournament, and he led the team in scoring again last Friday. Off-spinner Dan Mousley led the bowlers, finishing with figures of 3-14 from four overs.
