Durham vs Nottinghamshire Prediction: Both teams faced issues with bat

Durham and Nottinghamshire are going head to head in Match 96 of the T20 Vitality Blast at Seat Unique Riverside, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom on 12 July 2024. 

In the batting lineup, the team will count on key players such as Graham Clark, wicket-keeper Oliver Robinson, Colin Ackermann, captain Alex Lees, and Bas de Leede to score most of the runs. In their last game, Durham had a tough time at the crease and were all out for a mere 107 runs in 16.4 overs. The team will look towards Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Sowter, Ben Raine, Michael Jones, and Callum Parkinson in the bowling department to make significant impacts and secure important wickets.

In the batting lineup, key players such as Jack Haynes, skipper Joe Clarke, wicketkeeper Tom Moores, Lyndon James, and Matthew Montgomery are expected to be the main run-scorers for the team. In their last games of Nottinghamshire, they were poor with the bat and struggled at the crease, collapsing to a mere 57 runs in 17.1 overs. They need to improve that in this game to have any chance of going forward in this tournament. Olly Stone, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Calvin Harrison, Liam Patterson-White, and Lyndon James will be looking to make significant contributions with the ball as Durham is also struggling with their batting lineup. Fazalhaq Farooqi chipped away with a wicket in the last game but he gave away 31 runs in the three overs.

Considering their recent performances, Durham, playing at home, looks poised to secure a victory against Nottinghamshire. Both teams have not had the best performances with the bat in the last game and will be looking to rectify the same in this one. However, with the squad consisting of Alex Lees, Graham Clark, and Ben Raine in good form, the team is looking forward to a win at home. Anticipate a substantial win for Durham in this contest.
