Derbyshire vs Durham Prediction
Durham have an outstanding record against Derbyshire having beaten then 10 times out of 16 in the past, including their previous 7 encounters. Now this will definitely give them a lot of confidence boost heading into this game. However, they have been below par this year and haven't looked convincing at all. They have struggled since the start of the competition and haven't been able to perform collectively as a unit. Derbyshire have fared a lot better and they also have the home advantage on their side having won four of their last five matches at this ground. We thus predict the hosts to win this match and break the Durham jinx.
Final Verdict: Back Derbyshire Falcons to beat Durham Jets in this North Group fixture of the NatWest T20 Blast 2017 at 1.53 with 1xbet.
