Leicestershire vs Durham Predictions

Both teams are struggling for runs, but I’m backing Leicestershire’s more experienced lineup to seal the deal against Durham.

Leicestershire’s Shan Masood scored 45* off 35 balls against Derbyshire.
Leicestershire’s Rehan Ahmed has scored 20, 20, 136 & 27 in his last 5 innings.
Durham’s Colin Ackermann has scored 4,334 runs with 25 fifties in 195 T20 innings.
Durham’s Graham Clark scored 40 off 23 balls against the Bears.

Head-to-Head

Leicestershire have won four and lost one of their last five matches against Durham.

Leicestershire Form

Leicestershire bounced back from defeat against Northants to pick up their second win of the Vitality Blast season, a five-wicket win over Lancashire.

Tight bowling from Rehan Ahmed (3/16, econ 4.00) and Liam Trevaskis (2/17, econ 4.25) restricted Lancashire to 145/7 off their 20 overs.

Leicestershire recovered from 47/3 in the sixth over to hit their target with five wickets and nine balls in hand. Louis Kimber top-scored with a breezy 22-ball score of 40.

Leicestershire Team News

Logan van Beek is in great form with the ball and has been superbly backed-up by Rehan Ahmed and Liam Trevaskis, both of whom are in the top 10 most economical bowlers in the Blast this season.

Durham Form

After starting their Vitality Blast season with a three-wicket win over the Bears, Durham slipped to a four-wicket defeat against Lancashire.

With their top four all failing to reach 20, it was left to Ben Raine (29) and James Neesham (40 off 25 balls) to rescue the innings from disaster. Durham ended their 20 overs on an unconvincing 150/6.

Zakary Foulkes (1/22, econ 5.50) and James Neesham (2/31, econ 7.75) did their best to hold the Lancashire batters at bay, only to lose by four wickets in a thrilling last-ball finish.

Durham Team News

Ben Raine has had a great start to the season and is a dangerman with bat and ball.

Verdict

Leicestershire v Durham

I am backing Leicestershire to win. I am also backing Shan Masood to top score for Leicestershire.

Colin Ackermann is a good bet to top score for Durham.
