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

Match 16 of the T20 Blast 2022 will witness Warwickshire Bears taking on Durham Dynamoes on Sunday (May 29) at Edgbaston, Birmingham. 

Both the teams have featured in two games and have a good idea about their combinations. The Bears have secured wins in both their league matches, while Dynamoes have a winning percentage of 50%. 

In their last outing, Warwickshire posted a score of 200 on the back of a quickfire partnership of 98 run-stand between Adam Hose (55) and Chris Benjamin (43*). In the bowling unit, Danny Briggs, Craig Miles, and Jake Lintott picked up two wickets to help the team in securing a thrilling victory by three runs. 

The players like Paul Stirling and Danny Briggs will be the key players of the team, due to their experience and form. 

On the other hand, Durham had started off with a win but lost by 31 runs in their second fixture. The bowling performances were average to concede 223 on the board, with captain Ashton Turner picking up two wickets. 

Graham Clark (54) and David Bedingham (31) were the notable contributors, as the team could score 192. It remains to be seen if Turner features in this match, as he sustained a shoulder injury and was retired hurt.

Pitch Report: 

The same venue hosted the Final of the T20 Blast 2021, and the batters had a good day at the office. A score of 150 will be a par score on this venue, and the bowlers need to be proficient with their line lengths. Most of the games have been won by the team batting first, and the same can be expected in this fixture.
