Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Durham
With a very strong batting and bowling unit on their side, table-toppers Durham are the absolute favourites to beat sixth-placed Yorkshire in their upcoming match. Unlike Durham, Yorkshire are just dependent only on three batters. Moreover, the deadly Durham pace duo of Ben Raine and Matthew Potts have wreaked havoc throughout the season and they will be a major threat for Yorkshire. The addition of leg-spinner Matthew Parkinson has added further variety in the Durham bowling line-up.
Yorkshire to win - 2.08 (Parimatch)
Durham to win - 1.70 (Parimatch)
