Durham Team Preview
Mark Stoneman’s led side Durham has all the potential, to be crowned with the final trophy of Natwest t20 Blast. Meanwhile, this team must be disappointed with the loss in their last match against Yorkshire.
Yorkshire team smashed 223 runs on the back of the solid Adam Lyth’s 87 and then, Durham failed to chase down the target and only managed to reach 174.
This team lacks big names but it is fully loaded with the quality of domestic players. The likes of Mark Stoneman, Phil Mustard, Keaton Jennings and Graham Onions, all are proven match winners.
Durham need to regroup to bounce back in their next tussle against the Lancashire team.
DURHAM TEAM (FROM)
Usman Arshad, Chris Rushworth, Graham Onions, Brydon Carse, Paul Collingwood, James Weighell, Barry McCarthy, Graham Clark, Calum MacLeod, Paul Coughlin, Jamie Harrison, Mark Stoneman(c), Phil Mustard(w), Keaton Jennings, Scott Borthwick, Michael Richardson, Jack Burnham, Gordon Muchall, Ryan Pringle.
Lancashire Team Preview
The fortune of this team is also same like the Durham team as Lancashire team will enter their next clash on the back of a close loss against the Leicestershire team in their last match.
In the last match, Leicestershire batted first and took the scoreboard with the mammoth score of 207 on the back of a couple of the fifties from Mark Pettini and Cameron Delport.
The Lancashire batted and almost reached the target but failed to cross the line and was restricted on 198 in 20 overs.
The X-factor for Lancashire team is the form of former South African Test opener Alviro Petersen. This guy is in some serious form in this year’s Natwest t20 blast and his team rely heavily on him.
Also, the likes of Karl Brown and Steven Croft are the other names, that needs to fire if they want to contribute to the success of their team.
The next venture of this team is against the Durham team and trust me, guys, it will going to be a neck to neck close game and Lancashire need to do a little bit more to thrash Durham.
LANCASHIRE TEAM (FROM)
Luke Procter, Karl Brown, Jos Buttler, George Edwards, Gavin Griffiths, Kyle Jarvis, Arron Lilley, Luis Reece, Wayne White, Haseeb Hameed, Alviro Petersen, Liam Livingstone, Michael Gough, Tom Smith, Peter Moores, Steven Croft(c), Tom Bailey, Nathan Buck, Jordan Clark, Alex Davies, Simon Kerrigan, Stephen Parry, Tom Moores(w).
