Pre-Match Analysis:
With a clinical all-round display, Nottinghamshire edged past mighty Lancashire by 5 wickets on Sunday to record their 4th win in this T20 Blast. The bowlers made inroads by consistently picking wickets to bowl the Lancashire batters out for marginal 145 runs and chased it down in a convincing manner with 7 balls to spare. Joe Clarke was the top scorer who smashed 42 runs at a strike rate of 175. They share the same 8 points with the other 5 teams and sit at the 6th spot in the North Group standings. A win here will take them to the pole position. Their top 3 is settled with Joe Clarke, Alex Hales and Colin Munro who all scored 200 plus runs each in this tournament. Pakistan speedster Shaheen Afridi has been their go-to-go bowler who has 10 scalps to his name.
With the limited resources they have, Durham are able to extract the best performances from their players and won 4 of their 6 matches played in this tournament. Nathan Sowter produced an excellent master class with the ball in the last game against Northamptonshire, picking up 4 wickets, later Graham Clark and Ashton Turner’s show with the bat steered them home with 7 balls still left. Their other overseas star Wayne Parnell is making vital contributions having claimed 5 wickets in 4 matches. Ollie George Robinson is their most trusted batter in the middle order and averages 78 in this competition.
