When host Yorkshire plays Durham in the North Group encounter on Thursday at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds, they will be eager to snap their three-match losing run.
Yorkshire is currently positioned in the lower half of the league table with four victories and six losses. In this match, captain Shan Masood will be looking for the team to put on a great display with the bat and the ball.
However, following a game at Northampton where they were thoroughly outmatched by Northamptonshire, Durham will be hoping to mount a big comeback. In this match, the team’s captain, Alex Lees, will be trying to return to winning ways.
In the earlier match, Durham defeated Yorkshire by a close margin in Chester-Le-Street.
The team will rely on players like wicketkeeper Donovan Ferreira, Adam Lyth, Dawid Malan, and captain Shan Masood to provide the majority of the runs in the batting department.
Donovan Ferreira, the wicketkeeper, used six fours and one six to hit 44 runs off 32 balls in the previous game. Jordan Thompson contributed with 23 runs off 19 balls with two sixes, while Matthew Revis scored 30 runs off 33 balls with three fours and one six.
The team will be counting on bowlers like Matthew Revis, Dominic Bess, Jordan Thompson, Daniel Moriarty, and Benjamin Cliff to make crucial breakthroughs.
