LAN vs DUR | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Lancashire will be facing the challenge of Durham in Match 97 of T20 Blast 2022 on June 23 (Thursday) at Stanley Park, Blackpool. 

Lancashire is coming into this game after securing a confidence-boosting victory in their last fixture. The bowlers conceded 179, but Tom Hartley impressed with two wickets. Steven Croft scored an unbeaten 61 off 44, while Dane Vilas was a terrific support to score 55 off 30 balls: the team chased down the score with 11 balls to spare and secured the seventh win for the team. 

They are not expected to make changes in their Playing XI, and would look to maintain the pole position in the North Group Points Table. The Lancs need a couple of wins to guarantee their place in the quarter-finals. The likes of Tim David and Richard Gleeson are expected to replicate the performances of the earlier matches. 

On the other hand, Durham has only three victories in 10 appearances and will need to win all their remaining games to have an outside chance for the quarters. In their last outing, the bowlers produced a fine performance to restrict the opposition to 157, with Andrew Tye finishing up with figures of 5/38 in four overs. 

In reply, Paul Coughlin was the top contributor with 22 runs, as the team was dismissed for a total of 106 and lost by 51 runs. In the last game, Ashton Turner made his comeback to the team and will be a key player for the Durham team.
