Durham Team News & Playing 11
DUR Team News
20 year old medium pace bowler Jonathan Bushnell made his T20 Blast debut in Friday’s defeat to Yorkshire Vikings. There was also a return to the team for skipper Ashton Turner with fellow countryman Andrew Tye missing out through injury.
DUR Key Players
- Graham Clark- the 29 year old right handed opener has scored 11 half-centuries in this format with his last one coming against Yorkshire Vikings earlier this month.
- Ashton Turner- the skipper made only his third appearance of the campaign on Friday after being sidelined through injury. He is a fine all-rounder with plenty of T20 experience.
- Scott Borthwick- the former England Test player used to be a fine batter but it is now his spin bowling which is his strongest suit. He dismissed three of Yorkshire’s top four batters on Friday.
DUR Team Form
Durham’s surprise win over Lancashire looks likely to have been a freak result. They have won only one of their last five games.
Durham Predicted Playing 11
Graham Clark, Michael Jones, Ollie Robinson (wk), Ashton Turner (c), Jonathan Bushnell, Paul Coughlin, Ned Eckersley, Liam Trevaskis, Ben Raine, Scott Borthwick, Nathan Sowter
Leicestershire Team News & Playing 11
LEI Team News
Keeper-batter Harry Swindells and top order batter Nick Welch came in for their first appearances of the competition ahead of the win over Worcestershire Rapids on Friday evening. They replaced Lewis Hill and Will Davis in the side and we expect them both to retain their spots ahead of this fixture.

- Arron Lilley- the 31 year old batting all-rounder struck 11 fours and one six against Worcestershire Rapids. It was his second score in the 60s in his last three innings.
- Callum Parkinson- the spinner took 3-28 in the victory on Friday evening. He dismissed Brett D’Oliveira, Colin Munro and Ed Barnard in an impressive display.
- Naveen-ul-Haq- the pace took the wicket of Rapids’ opener Ed Pollock with his first ball on Friday. He returned to dismiss Jack Haynes and Dwayne Bravo later in the innings.
LEI Team Form
Leicestershire Foxes needed that win over Worcestershire Rapids to end a disappointing run of three straight defeats.
