Worcestershire Rapids vs Durham Cricket Team Preview

Worcestershire Rapids

Worcestershire has played 12 matches in the tournament thus far, winning seven and losing the other five. They have 14 points and are third on the T20 Blast points table.

Captain Brett DOliveria and Adam Hose are two other batters that could shine in the upcoming match since they have both contributed meaningful innings in the competition. They need more consistency, however. Mitchell Santner is always dangerous with the ball. Usama Mir of Pakistan and Dillion Pennington of England are other alternatives with the ball.

Durham Cricket

Durham, on the other hand, has had a dreadful tournament, lost six of the twelve matches and winning only four.  Durham is on the verge of being eliminated from the playoff chase.

Durham has had a difficult season, but batsmen Alex Lees, Brydon, Carse, and Michael Jones have recently shown some good form. Lees and Jones both scored 50 points against Lancashire in their most recent match. Nathan Sowter has been excellent with the ball, taking 21 wickets, along with Wayne Parnell, who has taken wickets frequently in recent games, and the remarkable Ben Raine.

The team pursuing the score has won four of the five games played here. At the start of the game, we anticipate bowling-friendly conditions in Worcester. The team that wins the toss will bowl first to take advantage of the conditions.

Worchester will have a cloudy sky, but we anticipate a level track where batsmen will have a good chance of scoring runs.

The Worcester pitch will be batting-friendly. Except for the first few overs with the new ball, there won’t be much lateral movement on offer. As the game develops, the pitch will become easier to bat against. A surface total of 170 to 180 is a good target to aim for.
