Durham vs Derbyshire Predictions

Durham have won just one of their three matches, but they are a good bet to send Derbyshire to a fifth straight loss in the competition.

Durham’s Graham Clark has scored 160, 121, 29, 22, 40 & 29 in his last 10 innings.
Durham’s Alex Lees has scored 35, 74 & 21 in his last 6 innings.
Derbyshire’s Ross Whiteley has scored 37, 15*, 31 & 50 in his last 4 innings.
Derbyshire’s Wayne Madsen has scored 100, 35 & 46 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

Durham have won two and lost two of their last five matches against Derbyshire. The other match was tied.

Durham Form

After winning their opening match against the Bears, Durham lost their next two matches in a row, first to Lancashire and then to Leicestershire.

Leicestershire posted a competitive score of 193/8 off their 20 overs. Ben Raine returned the exceptional figures of 5/23 (econ 5.75) for Durham.

Durham crashed to 94/6 off their 20 overs before Kasey Aldridge (44* off 27 balls) and Will Rhodes (43 off 22) got them back in the hunt. The pair couldn’t sustain the asking rate, Durham ending their 20 overs on 187/7.

Durham Team News

Durham’s batters have been in good form and they will be looking to put their two recent losses behind them as they push for a spot in the top four

Derbyshire Form

Derbyshire suffered their fourth defeat in their first four matches of the Vitality Blast season when they lost to the Bears by 58 runs.

The Bears posted an impressive 199/6 off their 20 overs, Pat Brown picking up 3/40 for Derbyshire. Alex Thomson (1/22, econ 7.33) was the most economical of the Derbyshire bowlers.

Derbyshire slumped to 28/4 before Wayne Madsen (46 off 32 balls) and Ross Whiteley (50 off 37 balls) lifted the score to 103/4 in the 13th over. They lost their last six wickets for 38 runs as they fell to a 58-run defeat with 17 balls to spare.

Derbyshire Team News

Derbyshire need a major improvement in their batting and they are likely to make some changes to their lineup.

Verdict

Durham v Derbyshire

I am backing Durham to win. I am also backing Graham Clark to hit the top score for Durham.

Ross Whiteley is a good bet to be top scorer for the Derbyshire.
