Lancashire vs Durham Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

One of the main positives for Durham has been their approach in the powerplay this season. In eight of the nine games this campaign, Durham have managed to score above 50 in the powerplay overs averaging 59 in the tournament. On the other hand, in the last three games Lancashire have struggled to score well in the first six overs scoring 49, 39, 39. Their tournament average is 54.44 which is less than Durham. We also believe Durham would have more boundaries than Lancashire in the game. Lancashire are one one of the worst teams in the tournament in terms of no. of boundaries scored. Only Hampshire and Gloucestershire have worse records than Lancashire. In the last five of the seven games, Lancashire have recorded less boundaries than their opponent which makes this a great tip to encash upon.

Lancashire vs Durham Match Toss Prediction

Toss isn’t expected to determine the outcome of the game as in two games thus far teams batting first and second have shared the spoils. But Manchester weather can make things relatively straight forward for the captains as we believe due to expected rains at the venue both teams would prefer to bowl first.

Weather Report

We expect thunder showers during the game with precipitation chances of more than 90% at the venue. The maximum temperature is expected to be 24C and the minimum might go as low as 15C.

Lancashire vs Durham Betting Odds

Lancashire to score more sixes in the game than Durham

Durham’s record in terms of clearing the fence hasn’t been that great in the tournament. Durham ranks 12th in the table in terms of no. of sixes scored so far with 44 sixes in nine games, averaging 4.88 this season. On the other hand, Lancashire are averaging 5.77 in the tournament and are ranked eighth in the table. What makes this bet even more enticing is the fact only twice have Durham scored more sixes than their opponent in nine games thus far. We believe the possibility of Durham getting out numbered in the sixes department in the upcoming game is extremely high which makes this tip a great opportunity to make some financial gains.

Lancashire vs Durham Top Team Batters

Steven Croft to be Lancashire’s top batter

Steven Croft was sensational in the last game against Northamptonshire as he scored a magnificent century in the game. Even though Daryl Mitchell is the top scorer for Lancashire thus far, Croft’s 34 in the reverse fixture against Durham makes him our pick for the game.

Oliver Robinson to be Durham’s top batter

Olver Robinson is the top scorer for Durham in the tournament. It's hard to figure out a pick based on the last two games as Durham’s batter have underperformed in those games but over a course of season thus far and scored a brilliant 39 in the reverse fixture which makes him our top pick for the game.

Lancashire vs Durham Top Team Bowlers

Luke Wood to be Lancashire’s top bowler

Luke Wood has been the top wicket taker for Lancashire this campaign. His spell of 3/39 was instrumental to seal the game against Northamptonshire in the last outing. In the reverse fixture, Wood once again had a solid game as he ended up with 1/25 which makes him our top pick for the game

Nathan Sowter to be Durham’s top bowler

Nathan Sowter is hands down the best bowler for Durham thus far and is one of the top bowlers of the tournament. He is tied with Ben Green as tournament’s leading wicket taker with 18 wickets so far. Sowter was instrumental in the win against Lancashire early in the season, his bowling figures of 2/18 in the game makes him our top pick for the fixture.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Lancashire

There has been no moderation in the Lancashire form thus far. Starting off with three wins in a row, the defending champions lost their early season momentum as they registered back to back defeats in next four games. Lancashire were able to stop the rut as they managed to squeeze in their first win in five games against Worcestershire. In the last game, Steven Croft smashed his maiden century in T20 to power Lancashire to a mammoth score of 204 and set up a 35 run victory against Northamptonshire as they climbed to the fourth spot.

Durham have fallen short of their expectations so far especially after winning three of the first four games. Durham’s form has taken a nosedive since then as they have only managed one win in five games since and are outside the playoff spots heading into this game. In the last game, Durham and Derbyshire played out a thrilling tie as Derbyshire managed to get a boundary in the final ball and shared the spoils on the day.

Regardless of the fact Durham have already beaten Lancashire in the reverse fixture, bookmakers have sided with Lancashire giving them odds as low as 1.60. On the other hand, Durham are expected to fall short in the game as oddsmakers believe Lancashire would continue their winning run and extend their lead on Durham at the points table. Durham has been given odds as high as 2.25. We reckon you should go with the bookies on this one as any other result other than Lancashire’s win is highly unlikely. We believe Lancashire would have a comfortable outing when they take on Durham on June 18.

• Lancashire to win @ 1.60 (Parimatch)
• Durham to win @ 2.25 (Parimatch)
