Durham vs Nottinghamshire Betting Tips

Nottinghamshire to score high before first dismissal

Haseeb Hameed and Ben Slater’s consistency is mighty impressive and their partnerships for Nottinghamshire make them a highly successful team in the competition. In five games, the pair of openers have set up first wicket stands of 62, 11, 36, 67, 81, 1, 113, 62 and 8 which are solid foundations for the rest of the batting lineup to build on. They are endorsed to keep this momentum going and secure a big partnership in the next match as well.

Durham vs Nottinghamshire Toss Prediction

Riverside Ground has an average first innings score of 347 but the total is still not entirely safe at the venue since it is a fielding friendly surface. The vote is split 1-1 between those batting and fielding first but since those chasing have converted it into a victory, fielding first is going to be the toss winner’s favorite choice next time around.

Weather Report

Overcast conditions are expected to prevail at Chester-le-Street but the threat of rain is a minimal 10%. The temperature is predicted to reach 15 degrees Celsius.

Durham vs Nottinghamshire Betting Odds

Nottinghamshire to have a better opening partnership than Durham

Durham’s Alex Lees is their regular opener this season and he has led the innings alongside both Emilio Gay and Ben McKinney in the last three matches. However, neither of the opening pairs have yielded great results since they have had opening stands of 25, 61*, 4, 2 and 22 runs together. Haseeb Hameed and Ben Slater are much further ahead in this regard and their partnerships for Nottinghamshire have been commendable, having added 62, 11, 36, 67 and 81 runs to the first wicket. Naturally, they are the favorite opening partnership in this match-up.

Durham vs Nottinghamshire Best Batters

Graham Clark to be Durham’s Best Batter

Graham Clark emerged as the leading run-getter for Durham in the last match against Hampshire where he scored a 160-run century in the first innings, his first of the season. He has overtaken the others as the top batter with 336 runs in six innings and an average of 67.20, and he is relied upon to come out on top in the upcoming match.

Haseeb Hameed to be Nottinghamshire’s Best Batter

Haseeb Hameed was not one of the top batters for Nottinghamshire in the last game against Hampshire, having scored 25 and 8 runs. Regardless, he is the top run scorer overall with 476 runs in nine innings and an average of 79.33, and he is expected to come good in the next fixture.

Durham vs Nottinghamshire Best Bowlers

Matthew Potts to be Durham’s Best Bowler

Matthew Potts was Durham’s leading bowler in the previous game against Hampshire where he bagged a four-wicket haul in their sole innings. He is the team’s second highest wicket-taker with 16 wickets in seven innings so far. His average of 31.43 is rather high but he has the wicket-taking prowess to be their premier bowler once more.

Brett Hutton to be Nottinghamshire’s Best Bowler

Brett Hutton was Nottinghamshire’s second leading bowler in the previous outing versus Nottinghamshire, having taken four wickets in the first innings and two more in the second. He is their joint highest wicket-taker overall with 21 wickets in eight innings and an average of 18.52, and he is the top pick to be their leading bowler once again.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Nottinghamshire

Durham are recuperating after their defeats in the first two matches of the season with one victory and two draws. They are seventh in the standings and their performance with the bat was rather convincing in the previous game. However, they are no match for Nottinghamshire who are the tournament’s top team with three victories and two draws. Moreover, the latter beat Durham earlier this season by eight wickets, and they are poised to bag their fourth win of the season.
