Head-to-Head


Durham has won two of the three One-Day Cup head-to-head meetings against Lancashire.

In their most recent List A meeting on August 20, 2025, Durham defeated Lancashire by four wickets after chasing down 320 at Liverpool.

Lancashire Form


Lancashire qualified for the Quarter-Finals after finishing second in Group A, securing their place in the knockout stages with a thumping 174-run victory over Somerset at Taunton.

After being invited to bat first, Lancashire posted 443/6, with career-best List A centuries from Keaton Jennings, who hit 156 from 127 balls, and 18-year-old Rocky Flintoff, who made 123 from just 76 deliveries, propelling Lancashire to their highest-ever score in List A cricket.

Somerset was bowled out for 269 in 39.2 overs, with Tom Aspinwall (4/42), and George Balderson (4/48) the standout bowlers. 

Keaton Jennings has scored 37, 40, 67, 30, and 156 in his last five innings, while Rocky Flintoff has scores of 34, 61*, and 123 in his last four innings.

Tom Aspinwall has figures of 2/41, 1/43, 1/43 and 4/42 in his last four innings.     

Durham Form


Durham lost to Worcestershire by 77 runs in their Metro Bank One Day Cup Group B match at New Road, Worcester. Despite the heavy defeat, Durham secured a crucial quarter-final spot, while Worcestershire's qualification hopes fell short.

Chasing a target of 291, Durham, who lost wickets in clusters, were reduced to 199/8, threatening the required massive winning margin, but a resilient last-wicket stand safely pushed Durham through the qualification threshold and were bowled out for 214 in 38.5 overs.

Kasey Aldridge (3/18) and Shafiqullah Ghafari (2/51) were the pick of the bowlers, while Ben McKinney (82), Ollie Robinson (43), Kasey Aldridge (29) were the main batting contributors.

Kasey Aldridge has taken five wickets in his last three matches, while Ollie Robinson has scores of 64*, 37, and 43 in his last four innings.

Team news


A balanced pitch is expected, offering reliable bounce with early swing for pacers and grip for spinners later, alongside a cooler, cloudier match day reaching a high of 23°C to 25°C with a low risk of morning light rain.

Lancashire Probable XI: Keaton Jennings (c), Matty Hurst (wk), Marcus Harris, Liam Livingstone, Ben McDermott, George Balderson, Tom Hartley, Luke Wood, Thomas Aspinwall, Tom Bailey, Jack Blatherwick.

Durham Probable XI: Alex Lees (c), Oliver Robinson (wk), Graham Clark, Ben McKinney, Colin Ackermann, Kasey Aldridge, Ben Raine, Matthew Potts, Callum Parkinson, Nathan Sowter, James Minto.
