Match Details:

Durham will take on Yorkshire in a North Group match of T20 Blast 2020, which is set to be a very crucial game for both the sides. The match is going to be played at Headingley, Leeds.

This match is scheduled to start at 6:30 PM Local Time (11:00 PM IST).

Preview:

Yorkshire have missed several key players this year due to international commitments. They find themselves with just 2 wins in 7 games. Having lost their last two games, they come into this match with the sole purpose of rekindling their quarter-final hopes.

Durham on the other hand come into the game with momentum on their side. While they also have 2 wins in 7 games, after a horrid start they have been able to turn things around with victories in the last two games. They will hope to continue their winning streak.


 Weather Report:

Although a thick cloud cover with a moderate breeze is expected in Leeds today, with a temperature range of 10-17 °C, only 4% precipitation is expected at game time and we should get a full game.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The track at the Headingly has traditionally supported the batsmen wicket. The strategy for teams has been to bat first and score a big total in Leeds as batting becomes harder in the second innings. A similar trend could be seen in this match.

Average first innings score: 187 (Last five complete matches played at this venue)

Record of chasing teams:  Won – 1, Lost – 3, Tied1
