On June 8, 2024, the Birmingham Bears and Durham will play at home in the North Group matchup in Edgbaston. Yesterday was the third game of the season for both teams. Birmingham Bears suffered their first loss of the season, falling to Lancashire by 8 runs. Durham, meanwhile, defeated Leicestershire by 7 wickets to record their first victory of the year.
The Bears, who won the group stage the previous season, are hoping to pick up their winning ways after a setback against Lancashire, while Durham is hoping to continue their winning ways. We have an intriguing battle on Saturday.
Birmingham Bears won their first two games in the Vitality Blast 2024, kicking off their campaign in style. With Hasan Ali taking 3 for 20, they easily defeated Durham by 6 wickets while chasing a meager score of 102.
Danny Briggs’ all-around performance translated into a 22-run victory against Nottinghamshire in the second game, which was likewise a piece of cake.
Despite Hasan Ali getting three wickets in the third game against Lancashire, the Bears gave up far too many runs, particularly to Luke Wells. Despite pitching a 44-ball, 59-run inning, Sam Hain was unable to bring the Bears across the finish line.
The team led by Alex Davies will need to bounce back from this setback swiftly in order to overcome Durham twice in a row.

Durham began their 2024 Vitality Blast campaign with two losses, vs the Birmingham Bears and Lancashire, in contrast to the Bears. Durham is hoping for a turnaround in their second meeting with the Bears.
After defeating Leicestershire yesterday to record their first win of the season, Durham will be feeling more positive. They were able to chase down 177 in the 20th over with 3 balls remaining thanks to Alex Lees’ 71 runs off 53 balls.
Durham has triumphed in three of the previous five matches, most notably a commanding 213-run victory over Mashonaland Eagles in the Zimbabwe Domestic Twenty20 Competition championship.
This season, Durham’s batting has been problematic. In their opening two losses, they scored 75 and 101. Their confidence for the next games against the Bears would be enhanced by a strong victory in a high-scoring match against Leicestershire.
