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

Liam Trevaskis led Durham will square off against Yorkshire in the North Group fixture of the T20 Blast on Friday (June 17). The match will be played in Riverside Ground, Chester-le-street, United Kingdom. 

Durham has played eight matches in the tournament, out of which they have managed to win just 3. With 6 points in their account, they are currently placed seventh in the North Group Standings. 

They played their last match against Red Rose Club – Lancashire a week ago, and they emerged victorious by two wickets. Lancashire, after batting first, posted a below-par total of 130 on the board, which Durham chased down with two wickets in hand and three balls to spare. 

On the other hand, Yorkshire has won 4 out of their eight games. In contrast, their one match ended in a tie against Lancashire. They currently occupy the fourth spot in the North Group points table. 

The White-Rose club are coming into the game on the back of a massive 10-wicket victory over Birmingham Bears. Captain David Willey picked up three wickets in that match, followed by Dominic Drakes, Matthew Revis and Adil Rashid, who bagged two wickets each. 

However, they will head into this game without their skipper David Willey, who is currently in the Netherlands with the England white-ball team for the 3-Match ODI series. In addition, Adil Rashid and Dawid Malan have also been called up by the national team, and they, too, will be unavailable for the upcoming T20 Blast matches. 

With some key players missing out, it will be intriguing to see what changes Yorkshire will bring in their playing combination to keep their winning momentum going.

Pitch Report: The surface at Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street has assisted both the departments equally, and Friday will be no exception. The pacers will get some early movement with the new ball. The spinners should also get some purchase off the surface, keeping the batters on the backfoot. Considering the last few matches played at this venue, both the teams might go for a chase after winning the toss.
