Yorkshire Vikings vs Durham Cricket Team Preview

Yorkshire Vikings

Yorkshire Vikings are still looking for their first win of the competition following losses by 34 runs to Birmingham Bears and by 2 wickets against Worcestershire Rapids. However, they still have a lot of skill on their roster, and we anticipate them to turn things around fast.

Yorkshire Vikings were pleased with the ball against Worcestershire Rapids, but their batting needs to get better if they are to win their first T20 Blast game. Jonny Bairstow is scheduled to rejoin the team for this run in the top middle order. Jordan Thompson’s consistency in this format has continued, collecting two wickets in both games prior to this encounter.

Durham Cricket

Durham Cricket couldn’t have hoped for a better start to the 2023 T20 Blast than dismissing Northamptonshire Steelbacks for 137 before hitting the runs without dropping a wicket in 13.2 overs.

On Friday, captain Alex Lees struck 37 not out from 31 balls at the top of the order. Ashton Turner and Bas de Leede will be eager to contribute if given the chance in this match. Leg-spinner Nathan Sowter bowled well for Durham Cricket against the Steelbacks, collecting his best T20 bowling stats of 5-15.
