Riverside Ground

Durham will take on Gloucestershire in County Championship Two 2023 season at the Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street from Monday, July 10 at 3:30 PM IST.

Durham finished sixth in the 8-team Division Two table in the County Championship 2023. Gloucestershire finished at the bottom of the Division One table and as a result were relegated to Division Two.

Durham vs Gloucestershire Chance of Winning

Durham are the certain winners of their upcoming match against Gloucestershire. The table-toppers are the strongest team in Division Two in both the bowling as well as the batting department. Ollie Robnson, David Bedingham, Alex Lees and Michael Jones have led the batting group with 734, 667 and 699 runs respectively. The pace unit of Ben Rain (38) and Matthew Potts (34) has wreaked havoc. In case Brydon Carse turns up, Gloucestershire's trouble will increase. Bas de Leede is in Zimbabwe, playing the World Cup 2023 qualifiers and that would give Gloucestershire a little reprieve.

Gloucestershire will again be without their leading run-scorer Marcus Harris. Miles Hammond is the only other batter who has scored over 400 runs. Oliver Price is the only batter who has scored over 150 runs and is averaging over 40. Same is the case in the bowling unit where the bowling average of bowlers is really high. Leading wicket-taker Zafar Gohar has scalped 19 wickets at an average of Zafar Gohar.
