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

Durham Dynamos and Worcestershire Rapids will be up against each other in Match 30 of T20 Blast 2022. 

Worcestershire are languishing at the bottom of the points table with no wins in three league matches. In their last league fixture, the bowlers conceded a mammoth 183, with Patrick Brown picking three wickets.

The duo of Brett D'Oliveira and Jack Libby contributed 30+ runs, but the team lost by 11 runs. The team management has announced an unchanged squad for this fixture but will look to open their account in the ongoing tournament. 

On the other hand, Durham could post only 158 on the board in the last league match, with Paul Coughlin scoring 40 off 33. Although Brydon Carse and Liam Trevaskis took two wickets, the opposition chased down the score easily. 

With one win in three league matches, they have to get their momentum back on track. The all-rounder Trevaskis is likely to remain captain in this fixture, with the injury issues of Ashton Turner. No changes are expected in the Team's XI.
