Yorkshire Preview
With 7 wins in 11 games, Yorkshire sit comfortably in the top three of the North Group. In their recent outing, they chased down Durham’s total thanks to quality innings from Jos Buttler (55 off 33) and Phil Salt (38 off 20).
Keaton Jennings, though quiet recently, has been a steady anchor. Ashton Turner and Luke Wells strengthen the middle-order, while the bowling unit, led by the evergreen James Anderson, Chris Green, and Luke Wood, has restricted strong teams below par.
Chris Green, in particular, was the star in the last match, bagging 4 for 34, stifling the opposition’s momentum in the middle overs.
Durham Preview
Despite losing to Nottinghamshire in their last match, Durham still top the group, owing to a better net run rate. Their batting has been driven by Graham Clark, who smashed 44 off 27 balls, and all-rounder James Neesham, whose 29 off 16 offered late acceleration.
However, the bowling lacked bite against a strong Nottinghamshire lineup. Matthew Potts and Kasey Aldridge showed some rhythm, but Durham needs more penetration in the powerplay. Spin duo Callum Parkinson and Nathan Sowter can be game-changers on turning surfaces, but Old Trafford’s pace-friendly deck might not favor them.

Players to Avoid
- Ben McKinney – Inconsistent top-order returns
- Michael Jones – Hasn’t contributed significantly in recent games
Favourite Team: Yorkshire
Yorkshire enters this match as the favourite due to a more experienced and explosive batting unit featuring Salt, Buttler, and Turner. Their bowling lineup with Anderson, Green, and Wood offers better variety, especially on a pitch that suits pace. Durham’s recent form has dipped, and unless their bowling clicks, they may find it tough against a red-hot Yorkshire side.
