Durham Team News & Playing 11
Tom Latham who has been a regular face in the New Zealand cricket team currently holds a decent record in limited overs format. He is likely to open the batting for Durham and is expected to take the team off to a brisk start. Chris Rushworth and Paul Coughlin were both among the wickets in the previous season. Rushworth took the most wickets for Durham and the team will want him to continue his good form.

Northamptonshire Team News & Playing 11
The team's batting is going to revolve largely around Ben Duckett and Josh Cobb who were among the highest run-scorers in last year's NatWest T20 Blast. Both had struck three and five fifties respectively and the onus will be on these two to deliver the goods with the bat. The skipper will turn to their pace duo of Rory Kleinveldt and Richard Gleeson to pick up early wickets against Durham. Kleinveldt took 15 wickets last year and he will be the key in Northamptonshire's bowling attack.

Durham Jets vs Northamptonshire Prediction
Northamptonshire and Durham have five wins each in the ten matches they have played against each other in the past. So neither gets an edge as far as head-to-head statistics are concerned. However, Northamptonshire certainly have an upper hand in that they beat Durham twice in the three matches in the 2016 NatWest T20 Blast and one of those matches happened to be the finals. Although both teams seem to have evenly matched squads, we feel that Northamptonshire have a better chance of winning this battle.
Final Verdict: Back Northamptonshire Steelbacks to beat Durham Jets in this North Group match of the NatWest T20 Blast 2017.
