T20 Blast 2022 | DUR vs WAS | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Durham Dynamos will face the challenge of Warwickshire Bears in Match 56 of T20 Blast 2022 at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street, on June 8 (Wednesday). 

Durham have secured only two victories in six appearances of the tournament. In their last fixture, they posted 154 with the contributions of 44 from Graham Clark. Then, the overseas recruit Andrew Tye picked up three wickets, but the opposition chased down the score in the last over. 

The all-rounder Paul Coughlin contributed 40 in the team’s last encounter against the Bears and will hold the key for the team. Durham is expected to feature in this game with an unchanged Playing XI, despite losing their last league game. 

On the other hand, Warwickshire posted 98 runs in eight overs, with Chris Benjamin scoring 36 off 17. In the bowling unit, Jacob Lintott finished with figures of 2/6 in two overs, which paved the way for the Carlos Brathwaite-led team to win a thriller by one run. 

In the last meeting with Dynamos, Benjamin scored 68 off 38, and the duo of Brydon Carse-Liam Trevaskis picked up two wickets each. Apart from them, the experienced Paul Stirling will look to return to form in this game.
