Durham vs Derbyshire Betting Tips

Graham Clark might not be Durham’s leading run-scorer but has been the most consistent batter for them with scores of 72 & 79 runs in two games. He has accumulated 151 runs at 75.50 this season. Last season, he was their leading run-scorer with 277 runs in 8 outings at 34.62. Hence, we predict Graham Clark to score over 26.5 runs against Derbyshire. Haider Ali has scored 24*, 63 & 82 runs for Derbyshire in the three games he played this season. He has managed to score 169 runs in three matches so far at 84.50 and is Derbyshire’s 3rd highest run-scorer this season. Therefore, we predict this 22-year-old Pakistani batter Haider Ali to score over 26.5 runs against Durham.

Durham vs Derbyshire Toss Prediction

Both captains will look to bat first at this venue as this pitch will be good to bat at early stages of the game and it might deteriorate as the match progresses. Last season, all the matches that were played at this venue witnessed teams posting 270+ runs. The bowlers must depend on their variety to stop the batters from scoring runs. The average first innings score here in the last five One-Day games is 293 runs with teams batting first winning only twice.

However, based on the recent matches the teams batting first will be more advantageous here. Hence, the skipper winning the toss must choose to bat first.

Durham vs Derbyshire Betting Odds

Derbyshire to score over 26.5 runs before their first dismissal @ 1.85 (Pari Match)

Derbyshire’s talented opening pair of Harry Came and Luis Reece posted the scores of 159, 134 & 71 runs before their first dismissal in the three games they played. Came and Reece are the leading run-getters for Derbyshire this season and they average at 69.00 and 70.33 in the competition respectively. Against Durham in their previous meeting, Derbyshire’s opening duo managed to score 35 runs before losing their first wicket. Derbyshire’s opening duo will come out with all their guns blazing against Durham’s strong bowling lineup in the next game. Therefore, we back Derbyshire to score over 26.5 runs before losing their first wicket.

Durham vs Derbyshire Top Batters

Alex Lees to be the top batter for Durham

Durham skipper Alex Lees displayed a fantastic show with the bat in the last game, scoring 144 runs vs Sussex. The 30-year-old single-handedly ensured that his side managed to put up a mammoth total on the board. With this knock, he is Durham’s top run-scorer at the moment. Against Derbyshire last time, the southpaw scored 55 runs off 69 balls and was his side’s 2nd highest run-getter in that game. Lees averages at 78.00 currently which makes him the top batting prospect for Durham in the game.

Luis Reece to be the top batter for Derbyshire

The 33-year-old left-handed batter, Luis Reece has been in phenomenal form this season, scoring 211 runs in three games at an average of 70.33. He hasn’t been the top-scorer in any of the three games but scored a fifty in each one of them, which makes him the most consistent batter for Derbyshire. Reece posted the scores of 92, 69 & 50 runs respectively so far this season. Going back to the 2022 season, Reece was Derbyshire’s top run-scorer as well with 330 runs in 7 matches. Considering his recent run of form, we have backed Luis Reece to be the top batter for Derbyshire against Durham.

Durham vs Derbyshire Top Bowlers

Liam Treviskas to be the top bowler for Durham

Liam Treviskas, 24, picked up 9 wickets last season at an economy of 4.74 in 8 games last season. This season has turned out to be even better for the left-arm bowler as he managed to pick 3 & 4 wickets respectively in back-to-back games. This puts him second in the list of the top wicket-takers this season with 7 wickets in two games. He has conceded runs at an economy of 5.44 this season. He has been the best bowler for Durham in the first two games and we back him to be the best bowling prospect for Durham in the next game as well.

Suranga Lakmal to be the top bowler for Derbyshire

Sri Lankan pacer, Suranga Lakmal picked up four wickets in his quota of 10 overs, conceding 60 runs in his last game. He went wicketless in the game before but managed to be the top bowling prospect for his side against Sussex in the last game. The 36-year-old Lakmal has as many as 239 wickets in the format. His experience makes us believe that he will turn out to be Derbyshire’s top bowler in the game.
