This weekend’s matchup between Durham and Notts Outlaws at Nottingham’s Trent Bridge is exciting because it pits two of the North Group’s worst clubs against one another.
Durham has been able to start the season strong with two significant wins. In contrast to the beginning, the team is now in a respectable position after victories over Leicestershire and Birmingham Bears. Notts Outlaws, meanwhile, are still having difficulty and have set up camp at the base of the North Group. The team cannot afford to lose any more games. To earn their first points of the season, the Notts Outlaws will be hoping to capitalize on their stellar head-to-head record versus Durham, which consists of five straight victories.
The 2024 T20 Vitality Blast’s Notts Outlaws are the only team without a point. The club is in a terrible situation as a result of their five straight losses. Throughout the season, the club has had trouble with its batting order; only two of the five games have resulted in a score of 150 or above.
The lone player for Nottinghamshire to score 100 runs or more this season is Jack Haynes. Luckily for his team, a substantial portion of these runs came from the most recent defeat to Lancashire. In the season’s opening match, he scored 45 against Lancashire and 51 against Northamptonshire. Additionally, the latter resulted in Notts’ best partnership (95) of the season.
In the first order, Notts can make a significant improvement. While Joe Clarke’s season-high duck out occurred during the match against Northamptonshire, he has since experienced back-to-back duck outs.
Olly Stone, who has taken nine wickets this season, is one of the team’s best bowlers. He’s been able to contribute some respectable totals with the bat and has taken wickets in each of the last four games.

The Durham team’s matchup with Leicestershire ended in a close loss. The team’s run of winning straight up ends with that. Durham, who have now tied with teams like Derbyshire and Birmingham on points, are unlikely to suffer a blow to their morale. Durham has seen several advantages over the past few weeks. The largest is most likely Ashton Turner’s shape. In the past two innings of the 2024 T20 Vitality Blast, he has managed to score 33 and 49 after getting off to a difficult start.
Graham Clark, who batted 53 not out in the match against Leicestershire, left a lasting impression. This batting order and the 31-year-old will feel a lot more confident after faltering in the first two Vitality Blast games.
When it comes to the ball, Ben Raine has been one of Durham’s greatest assets. The 32-year-old is among the leading wicket-takers in the 2024 season with nine wickets under his belt. Ben Green of Somerset, who has taken 13 wickets thus far, is not far behind him. Raine managed to post excellent 5/21, which was a major contributing role in the victory over the Bears.
