Vitality Blast 2024 Cricket Match Prediction | North Group | Durham Cricket vs Yorkshire Vikings – Let’s see who will win the match. | June 21, 2024

Durham Cricket vs Yorkshire Vikings Match Analysis

Durham will be looking to work magic at home, much like Paul Coughlin did with his bowling against Lancs and his wonderful reply. A day after their derby against Lancashire, Yorkshire will be looking to collect points on the road.

Durham has arguably been playing better going into this matchup, having lost just once in their previous five games. Yorkshire has recently yielded inconsistent outcomes.

Durham finished their 2023 campaign in the North Group’s eighth place. They appear to be in a strong position to contend for a 2024 quarterfinal spot.

Yorkshire has never won the T20 Blast, despite having an amazing record in county cricket. Gaining victory over Durham will be extremely beneficial for advancing to the 2024 quarterfinals.

Durham Cricket vs Yorkshire Vikings Team Preview & Squads

Durham Cricket

For Durham, David Bedingham is off to a lightning-fast start. The right-hander’s strikeout percentage is a little above 175. 47,25 is his batting average. In just four innings, he had already scored two fifties.

This season, Graham Clark is the first Durham batter to reach 200 runs. In Durham’s previous game versus Lancashire, he scored his highest score of the season, 87.

The only Durham bowler to have taken more than ten wickets in a T20 match in 2024 is Ben Raine. Against the Bears, the right-arm bowler claimed five wickets. His ratio was five to twenty-one.

Yorkshire Vikings

This match is one that Adam Lyth is looking forward to. In this T20 match, the left-handed batter has historically scored 570 runs.

Dawid Malan, a former England T20 international, has fond recollections of the Riverside Ground. In a T20I at Chester-le-Street versus New Zealand, he amassed 54 runs.

Down the order, Jordan Thompson has strong ball-striking ability. However, he might have a greater role with the ball given Yorkshire’s prowess in the batting department. He has a propensity to take up wickets even if he may be costly at times. In his T20 bowling career, he has taken five four-wicket hauls and one five-wicket haul.

Riverside Ground Chester-le-Street

Over the last two T20 Blast seasons, the chasing teams have had far better results at the Riverside Ground. Out of the games that were finished, the team batting second won six of them, the team batting first won two, and one game ended in a tie. The captains might use historical data to determine who should bowl first.

Since the sun will be out all day, the weather is predicted to be ideal for cricket.

Durham’s high-scoring match versus Lancashire, in which both teams scored more than 200, appears to be an exception. A score in the 150–160 range appears to be par.
