Durham vs Lancashire Chances of Winning
Durham suffered their third pasting of the season as they took on Somerset in the previous match. The latter posted a total of 492 while batting first and Durham managed to make up a lot of the deficit by scoring 336 runs during their chase; all-rounder Brydon Carse was riding high with an unbeaten 104 while Ben Raine and Alex Lees chimed in with contributions of 62 and 59 runs, respectively. Since Durham didn't quite catch up the first time around, Somerset used the opportunity to secure an additional 263 runs which left Durham with a lot more ground to make up. However, the fourth innings was nightmare fuel for Durham who found themselves bundled out for 126, leading to a 293-run defeat.
Lancashire are woefully hopeless at the moment and their loss against Hampshire in the last game raises several concerns about their form. Hampshire scored 389 runs in the first innings which, ordinarily, would not be enough but to their delight, Lancashire were unbelievably out of sorts. Lancashire’s chase was off to a good start as skipper Keaton Jennings and Josh Bohannon scored 56 and 43 runs, respectively, but this solid foundation went down the drain as the rest of the team did virtually nothing. After scoring 200 runs, they set out to catch up to Hampshire but this time, they were much worse off as they got bowled out for 152. Lancashire were dismayed as they suffered defeat by an innings and 37 runs.

Durham vs Lancashire Betting Tips
Lancashire to score low before first dismissal
In the last five games that Lancashire have played, there have been precisely two instances where the first wicket managed to post double digit stands. Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings are not able to make their partnership click, mostly owing to the fact that the former has been completely out of form this season. They have collaborated for opening totals of 12, 6, 9, 9, 26, 7, 0 and 1 in the previous five fixtures and redemption does not seem to be on the horizon.

Durham vs Lancashire Betting Odds
Durham to have a better opening partnership than Lancashire
From the start of the season, Lancashire’s biggest problem at the front has been the fact that there is a massive disparity in performance between openers Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings. The former has not been pulling his weight and the effect it has on their opening stands is quite noticeable; together, the pair scored 12, 6, 9, 9 and 26 runs in the last three games. Durham’s handicap, on the other hand, is that Alex Lees and Ben McKinney have not maintained much consistency, having added 25, 1, 189, 1 and 20 runs to the first wicket in the previous three matches. Despite this, Durham’s openers are endorsed to put on a better total than Lancashire’s first partnership.

Durham vs Lancashire Best Batters
Ollie Robinson to be Durham’s Best Batter
Ollie Robinson is Durham’s second highest run scorer so far with 831 runs in 16 innings and an average of 59.35. His last game against Somerset was not the best as the wicket-keeper batter found himself dismissed for 26 and four runs. Regardless of this slight dip, he is expected to be the team’s top batter in the next match.
Keaton Jennings to be Lancashire’s Best Batter
Keaton Jennings remains unmatched at the top and his consistency is truly commendable. In 18 innings so far, he has amassed 936 runs with an average of 55.05 which includes four centuries and two half-centuries. His second half-century of the season came in the last outing against Hampshire where the opener scored 56 runs in the first innings, making him the top pick against Durham.
Durham vs Lancashire Best Bowlers
Callum Parkinson to be Durham’s Best Bowler
Callum Parkinson was Durham’s top bowler in the previous match against Somerset, having taken four and two wickets. He now stands as the second highest wicket-taker for the team with 26 wickets in 14 innings. After his showing in the last match, he remains the top choice for the upcoming game as well.
Tom Aspinwall to be Lancashire’s Best Bowler
Tom Aspinwall was the second highest wicket-taker for the team in their last encounter against Hampshire wherein he picked three wickets in 25 overs, and also delivered two maidens with an economy rate of 4.20. With 13 wickets in five innings and a bowling average of 27.84, he is anticipated to come out on top in the next game.
