When host Durham plays Leicestershire on Wednesday at Riverside Stadium in Chester-Le-Street in the North Group of the 2024 T20 Blast competition, they will be hoping to build on their recent winning streak.
Durham will be hoping to keep up its bat and ball standards in this home game after winning their last two games in the competition. On the other side, Ben Cox, Rishi Patel, Rehan Ahmed, and Scott Currie all made outstanding contributions as Leicestershire defeated Worcestershire by a slender margin of four runs. Leicestershire now sits sixth in the league table after this outcome. Earlier in the season, Durham defeated Leicestershire at Grace Road in Leicester by a comfortable seven wickets.
The team will be depending on players like Graham Clark, Ashton Turner, David Bedingham, captain Alex Lees, and wicketkeeper Oliver Robinson to carry most of the load when they bat. David Bedingham was Durham’s most impressive batsman in the previous game. With the help of nine boundaries and three sixes, he ended the innings with a high score of 63 runs off 27 balls. In addition to Bedingham, Oliver Robinson contributed 25 runs off 18 balls with two boundaries and one six, while Ashton Turner scored 33 runs off 24 balls with three fours and one six.
The majority of the runs will be scored by the team’s bowlers, who include Ben Raine, Matthew Potts, Callum Parkinson, Nathan Sowter, and Paul Coughlin. Ben Raine, a medium-pacer, was Durham’s best bowler in the previous game, taking 5 for 21 in 3.4 overs.
