Preview:

Warwickshire will host Durham in the North Group contest of the T20 blast on Saturday. It’s a perfect opportunity for both the teams to move up in the points table. Warwickshire suffered a 5-wicket defeat against Derbyshire in the previous match. They had even lost to Durham in their last head-to-head contest. They’re slightly out of form at the moment and it will be interesting how they perform in this match.

Meanwhile, Durham are coming into this match on the back of two successive losses against Worcestershire and Northamptonshire. They placed themselves at 4th spot in the North Group standings with 9 points.
