Riverside Ground

Durham will take on Yorkshire in the County Championship 2023 Division Two match at the Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street from Thursday, May 11.

Durham finished sixth in the 8-team Division Two table last year. Yorkshire were relegated to Division Two after a horrid run in the 2022 season. They won only one of their 14 matches and finished ninth in the 10-team Division One.

Facts

  • Brydon Carse has scored 249 runs and picked 11 wickets for Durham.
  • Adam Lyth is the top-scorer for Yorkshire with 305 runs at an average of 61 in three matches.
  • Ben Rane and Matthew Potts have picked 16 wickets each for Durham.

Durham vs Yorkshire Chance of Winning

Cricket is a game of momentum and that is clearly on Durham's side at the moment. Table-toppers Durham have just been phenomenal after losing their first match against Sussex. From there on their batting and bowling unit have been very consistent winning two of the next three matches.

Yorkshire also lost their first match against Leicestershire by three wickets before playing two draws. Their second match with Gloucestershire was abandoned without a ball being bowled.

Adam Lyth is the only Yorkshire batter with more than 200 runs and an average of more than 37. No bowler from the team has an average less than 20. The same are the reasons why Yorkshire have failed to win matches.

Durham, on the other hand, have a total of five batters with more than 200 runs. Four of them are averaging over 40 and one just marginally short of 40. The pace unit consisting of Ben Raine, Matthew Potts, Paul Coughlin and Brydon Carse is the most dreaded one in Division two. All the aforementioned facts hint towards a solid Durham win against Yorkshire in the upcoming match.

Durham chances of winning - 55%

Yorkshire chances of winning - 45%

Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

The team winning a match will be awarded 12 points in the County Championship 2023. In the case of a draw, five points instead of eight will be awarded this year.

Durham has got what it takes to finish at the top and in the top three at least. An in-form batting unit accompanied with a lethal pace attack are expected to keep them in good stead.

Yorkshire, on the other hand, are currently seventh on the points table and are yet to win a match. They are lacking spark in both the departments and a top finish looks difficult.

Match Toss Prediction

In the last match at the venue Worcestershire elected to field first but lost the match against the hosts Durham by 121 runs. In the second match at this venue this season, Durham opted to bat and won the match by an innings and seven runs. The team winning the toss, could look to bat first again in the upcoming match.

Weather Report

Partly sunny with no chances of rain on Day 1 of the match. Partial sunshine with a temperature of 28 degree celsius on Day 2 as well. Periods of clouds and sun with a temperature of 30 degree celsius on Saturday. Day 4 could witness a couple of thunderstorms. The precipitation level will be around 60 percent.
