Match Details

Durham will take on Derbyshire in the upcoming North Group match of T20 Blast 2021. This clash takes place at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street.

This encounter will be played on Friday (July 9) at 11:00 PM IST.

Preview

Although both these sides haven’t been sensational this season, Durham are deemed favourites for this clash. Having won five of their 11 games, the Cameron Bancroft-led side has blown hot and cold this season and would like to put up a substantial show in this contest. Durham’s last assignment in the tournament saw Leicestershire defeating them by eight wickets and they would like to bounce back.

On the other hand, Derbyshire’s campaign hasn’t been pleasant by any means. They failed to perform as a unit and their position in the team standings narrate the entire story. They are reeling at the rock bottom of the North Group points table with just three wins in 11 games. Time is certainly running out for them and they must change their fortunes sooner than later.

Predicted Playing XIs for DUR vs DER:

Captaincy Picks for DUR vs DER:

Luis Reece

The left-handed batsman has been in red-hot form this season and has done a bulk of scoring for Derbyshire. Reece can go after the bowlers straightway and piercing his defenses isn’t easy either. So far, the dasher has mustered 343 runs in 11 games at a phenomenal strike rate of 173.23.

Matt Critchley

Another player who can shine in this contest is Matt Critchley. The Derbyshire skipper has enjoyed a sensational run in the tournament, having delivered in all three departments. The leg-spinner has so far scalped 11 wickets in as many games with his economy rate being under 7. He has also been contributing regularly with the bat.
