Top Picks for DUR vs YOR Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Durham

Cameron Bancroft is the captain of this Durham side and would be looking to take upon a lot more responsibility than usual. He has scored nine fifty-plus scores in T20s and has an average of more than 32. 

David Bedingham is a terrific batsman and is often known as a run-machine for the number of runs he manages to score. He would be aiming to start off this tournament with a bang. 

Top Picks ­– Yorkshire

Dawid Malan is the number 1 T20I batsman right now and he started the tournament with a handy knock of 23 runs in Yorkshire’s first match. 

Jonny Bairstow top-scored with 34 runs from 22 balls in the first match of Yorkshire on Thursday and it only shows how good a batsman he is in the white-ball game.
