United Kingdom Vitality Blast: Yorkshire vs Durham Match Preview Odds & Predictions
Yorkshire will lock horns against Durham in the United Kingdom Vitality Blast on Friday. Yorkshire have not won in their last five games, while Durham have won their last three. Moreover, Yorkshire won the last three head-to-head games against Durham. How will this game unfold? Below are previews, betting tips, and odds.
Yorkshire Preview
Yorkshire tied with Derbyshire in their last outing, making them unable to win in their last five games. In their last outing, they won and scored 215 runs, setting a tough target. But unfortunately, Matthew Revis stopped Yorkshire from winning here by scoring 69 not out, as Yorkshire needed just one run on the final ball to win this game, but they did not meet what was required, as they ended tied. Yorkshire have been in poor form, failing to win in their last five games: losing three to Leicestershire by 12 runs, Leicestershire again by 39 runs, and to Hampshire by two wickets, while twice tied with Warwickshire and Derbyshire in their last match. They currently sit in second place in the North standings with 18 points from 8 matches played.
Yorkshire XI
Jonny Bairstow(c), Adam Lyth, William Luxton, Moeen Ali, Sam Whiteman, Matthew Revis, Faheem Ashraf, Andrew Tye, Hasan Ali, Dan Moriarty, George Hill.
Durham Preview
Durham won by 100 runs in their last game over Middlesex, putting them on a three-game winning run. In their last outing, they went first and scored an excess of 218 runs with the excellent performance of Alex Lees, as he scored 108 runs. Their opponent, Middlesex, scored only 118 in their innings, failing to catch up and handing the lead to Durham. Durham have been in excellent form, winning their last three games, taking a lead over Derbyshire by 22 runs, over Northamptonshire by six wickets, and, in their last game, over Middlesex by 100. They currently sit in 4th place in the North, with 12 points from 7 matches.
Durham XI
Alex Lees(c), Graham Clark, Ben McKinney, David Bedingham, Ollie Robinson, Colin Ackerman, Ben Raine, Kasey Aldridge, Matthew Potts, Nathan Sowter, Callum Parkinson.
Yorkshire vs Durham Prediction
Durham will easily win here because they have won their last three games, while Yorkshire have been disappointing recently, struggling to win in their last five games, losing three times and drawing twice. With this, I placed my money on the away team to win here. My prediction is that Durham will win, with 1xBet offering odds of 2.05.
