Pre-Match Analysis:

Durham who was on top of the world after winning the first two games went down in their 3rd fixture by 5 wickets against Nottinghamshire on Monday. A half-century from Ollie George Robinson guided them to a competitive total of 168 runs however it was a little short for a formidable Notts batting line-up. Ben Raine was too good, picking up 2 crucial wickets. They need to work a lot on their power-hitting skills to ante up the run rate in the middle and death overs. They are placed 4th in the North Group standings with 4 points.

Lancashire who are a team full of stars struggling at the moment, losing their previous 2 matches. It wasn’t a fruitful comeback for England white-ball skipper Jos Buttler who got out eyeing a fancy stroke for just one run against Yorkshire. They were totally predictive in their line lengths initially and then came Colin de Grandhomme who varied his pace to control the run-flow. Tom Hartley played some eye-catching strokes during his stay of 39 runs and even held on to fine catches during the boundary line. They are really hungry for a win and hopeful of breaking their 2 matches losing streak. They are 3rd in the North Group standings with 6 points.
