Northamptonshire are favourites to win
Northamptonshire and Durham have beaten Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire in their respective semi-final matches and are ready for the ultimate showdown. The final clash of the Natwest T20 Blast 2016 will begin at 6:45 PM local time and it is going to be one exciting contest for sure. Both teams have come a long way in the tournament and are now within a touching distance from this year's trophy.
Top-order batting is going to rely heavily on Rossington and Duckett. The latter has scored for the team on a consistent basis this year and Northamptonshire will expect him to play a big innings. Wakely, their skipper, has been the best among the middle-order batsmen. So Northamptonshire will need them to score the big runs in the final. With the ball, the team is going to back their fast bowlers Kleinveldt and Gleeson to pick up the wickets. Gleeson, in particular, has been the standout bowler from their team. Leg-spinner Seekkuge Prasanna has troubled quite a few batsmen and it will be great for Northamptonshire if he keeps up his good form.
Their batting, this year, has revolved mainly around Keaton Jennings, Mark Stoneman and skipper Paul Collingwood. Stoneman, having hit two consecutive fifties recently, seems to be the man in form and if he gets going, Durham could run away with the game. Chris Rushworth has had a good season and he will be backed by his captain to strike at the start and snatch the momentum early on. Scott Borthwick is another bowler who has done well of late, and he can cause a few problems for the batsmen with his leg-breaks. Durham will want these two to take wickets and keep the team in the game.
Northamptonshire and Durham have done well to reach the finals of the Natwest T20 Blast 2016. This is going to be a battle of nerves and the team that is able to handle the pressure on the big day is more likely to emerge victorious.
Northamptonshire have been one of the stronger teams this season and can beat any side on a given day. So we feel that Northamptonshire are slightly ahead in terms of recent form and stand a better chance of winning the Natwest T20 Blast 2016.
