DUR vs LANCS T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Vitality T20 Blast
Durham in 5th take on 2nd placed Lancashire Lightning on Wednesday evening in Chester-le-Street. Both sides have been beaten once already in the 2021 T20 Blast, Durham losing to Notts Outlaws in their last game. Lancashire have an extra win from their additional game played. This North Group match at the Emirates Riverside will get underway at 19:00 local time.
Durham have begun the tournament strongly in spite of Ben Stokes still not quite being fit enough for selection. They have a team of hard working players who love nothing more than taking down a big name side. Bedingham and Raine have been very impressive so far.
Lancashire Lightning, who lost in the Semi-Final to eventual winners Notts Outlaws in 2020, look a strong side. Liam Livingstone and Finn Allen are given a licence to tee-off at the top of the order before the experienced Alex Davies, Jos Buttler and Dane Vilas come to the crease.

DUR vs LANCS Match Toss Prediction
At the most northern of T20 Blast venues in England, there will be very little need for the floodlights at this time of year. If they win the toss we expect Durham to choose to bat first, Lancashire Lightning to chase.
DUR vs LANCS Match Pitch Report
Notts Outlaws’ off spinner Matthew Carter impressed with 3-43 at the Emirates Riverside on Tuesday. The ball will turn so don’t be surprised if the batsmen look to make quick runs before their number is up.

Durham Team News & Playing 11
DUR Team News
There must be a temptation to bring Ben Stokes into the team, but with Test series against India and Australia to come later this year, do not expect the ECB to authorise an early appearance. Durham’s middle order let them down against Notts Outlaws so expect captain Cameron Bancroft to look to make amends in this game.
DUR Key Players
- David Bedingham - Mr Reliable with the bat across all formats this season, Bedingham has hit 7 sixes in the tournament so far.
- Ben Raine - the bowling all-rounder is having a fine T20 Blast campaign, only six players have taken more than his 7 wickets in the tournament.
- Matthew Potts - the young local fast bowler has 6 wickets in this year’s Blast. He took a particular liking to Leicestershire Foxes batters and finished with figures of 3-27.
DUR Team Form
Durham have been involved in three tight games with two wins and one defeat against Notts Outlaws. They need to bounce back immediately from the defeat on Tuesday night if they are to stay in contention for the top four.
Durham Predicted Playing 11
Graham Clark, David Bendingham, Ben Raine, Cameron Bancroft (c) , Ned Eckersley (wk), Jack Burnham, Paul Coughlin, Brydon Carse, Liam Trevaskis, Scott Borthwick, Matthew Potts
Lancashire Team News & Playing 11
LANCS Team News
Any T20 squad with Liam Livingstone and Jos Buttler in will be a handful but this Lancashire Lightning team has quality in many areas. The England players will be on international duty in the coming weeks so it is imperative they produce whilst they are available.
