Durham plays host to Nottinghamshire in Match 22 of the 2023 Vitality Blast. The North Group clash is scheduled on Monday, May 29 at 11:00 pm IST. The match will be played at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street. Durham hasn't won a game against Nottinghamshire since 2020.

Durham vs Nottinghamshire Chance of Winning

Durham comes into the game with dominating wins over Northamptonshire and Yorkshire. In the first game of the season, bowling first Durham restricted Northamptonshire to just 137 runs before their openers, Graham Clark, who played an exhilarating 102* in 49 balls, and Alex Lees chased down the target in just 13.2 overs. In the second match, against Yorkshire, it was Lees who stepped up to the plate with a 53 ball 90 to set up a stiff target of 218 for Yorkshire to chase down. Ben Raine’s 3/27 did the rest in the second innings as Durham maintained their perfect record in the league.

Nottinghamshire are coming into the game off a loss against Lancashire having won their first match of the season against Derbyshire. Bowling first, Nottinghamshire bowlers conceded 208 runs and failed to chase down the target. Colin Munro’s return to form and Matthew Motgomery’s knock is the takeaways for Nottinghamshire from their last game. The loss has resulted in Nottinghamshire dropping to 5th position on the points table in the North Group.

However, Nottinghamshire will back themselves to win the match against host team Durham. When we compare the lineups of both the teams Nottinghamshire has depth in their squad and a destructive top-order trio with vast experience in T20s. The arrival of Shaheen Afridi has strengthened their bowling lineup. Despite Durham dominating against their opponents in their first match of the season the records against Nottinghamshire have been far worse. We predict Nottinghamshire to win the match against Durham.
