Durham vs Northamptonshire 34th ODI match prediction, let’s find out who will win. Today’s match prediction of DUR vs NOR 34th ODI 2025 is given below. Durham vs Northamptonshire 34th ODI match is scheduled to be held on Friday, 15th August 2025 at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street. Cricketwebs provides 100% match prediction tips for every cricket match.

The England One Day Cup is entering a crucial middle phase, and teams are battling for vital points to make the cut into the top four. Durham have shown mixed form with 2 wins and 2 losses so far, and they’ll be keen to register a win in this encounter to strengthen their top-half position. Northamptonshire, on the other hand, are struggling with no wins in their last three matches and back-to-back defeats. They desperately need a win to keep their campaign alive.

Durham’s batting unit is in red-hot form, as seen in their last match where they piled on 387/4, thanks to centuries from Alex Lees and David Bedingham. However, their bowling failed to defend the mammoth total. Northamptonshire’s batting has lacked consistency, often losing wickets in clusters, while their bowling has been economical in patches but not threatening enough to break partnerships early.

With both teams eager to bounce back strongly, we can expect a high-intensity clash. Durham’s home advantage at Riverside Ground, coupled with their current batting form, could tilt the balance in their favour. Northamptonshire, however, will be banking on their experienced campaigners to rise to the occasion and pull off an upset.

Team Previews

Durham Preview

Durham’s last outing showcased their batting brilliance. Alex Lees (138) and David Bedingham (107) stitched together a dominant partnership, while Will Rhodes and Colin Ackermann added vital runs. However, the inability of their bowling unit to defend 387 will be a concern. Archie Bailey was the pick with 2 wickets, but the rest struggled for economy. The team needs Ben Raine and Codi Yusuf to tighten up with the ball. Durham’s overall balance makes them dangerous, but they’ll have to avoid complacency.

Predicted XI: Alex Lees, Emilio Gay, David Bedingham, Will Rhodes, Colin Ackermann, Ben Raine, George Drissel, Codi Yusuf, Archie Bailey, Luke Stephen, Robinson

Northamptonshire Preview

Northamptonshire’s batting faltered in their last game, falling short at 229 while chasing 292. George Bartett and Justin Broad offered resistance, but lack of big partnerships cost them. Bowling-wise, Luke Proacter’s 2/46 was the highlight, with Yuzvendra Chahal, Liam Guthrie, Dom Leech, and Rob Keogh chipping in. They need early breakthroughs to pressure Durham’s top order.

Predicted XI: Ricahrdo Vasconseales, Aadi Sharma, George Bartett, Justin Broad, Lewis McManus, Tim Robinson, Luke Proacter, Yuzi Chahal, Liam Guthrie, Dom Leech, Rob Keogh

Favourite Team Today

Durham enter this contest as favourites due to their explosive batting form, especially from Alex Lees and David Bedingham. Playing at home gives them added confidence, and their ability to post or chase down big totals is a major plus. If their bowling attack improves even marginally, they have the resources to dominate Northamptonshire, whose batting has been inconsistent.
