Durham and Sussex’s County Championship Division One encounter is going to take place from June 22 to 25, 2025, with the clash being held at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street. The action will begin at 3:30 PM IST.

Durham vs Sussex Chances of Winning

Durham were on their way to making a recovery before they lost to Somerset in the previous outing. The former, having batted first, put on a total of 277 on the board with Ollie Robinson’s 52 as the top contribution. The bowlers were adept at defending this and they restricted Somerset to a mere 172. Although the win was Durham’s for the taking, the batters fumbled it by setting up a mediocre score of 159 which did not give the bowlers enough room to work with. Somerset were able to chase it down with ease, having lost a mere three wickets in the process.

Sussex, on the other hand, are among the top teams this season and their victory over Hampshire in the last match was impressive. The bowlers were right on the money from the start as they kept Hampshire down to 154 and the batters took the opportunity to pile on 297 runs in response. Skipper and wicket-keeper batter John Simpson top-scored with an unbeaten 160 which was followed by Fynn Hudson-Prentice’s 74. Hampshire were unable to withstand Sussex’s bowling attack once again and ended up bundled out for 165. The Hove-rooted team hunted down this total with nine wickets to spare and achieved a dominant result.

Durham vs Sussex Betting Tips

Sussex to score high before first dismissal

Tom Haines is Sussex’s linchpin opener in the season so far and he has been there right from the start. Having opened with both Oli Carter and Daniel Hughes, the openers have achieved first partnerships of 11, 10, 37, 100, 80, 0, 1, 89, 95 and 132* runs in the previous five encounters. Given their success in the competition, the opening pair is backed to secure yet another big score in the next game.

Durham vs Sussex Toss Prediction

Riverside Ground gives the chasing side an undisputed advantage and that is evidenced by the fact that the teams fielding first took three wins in four matches this season, and the other game was drawn. Despite a rather high average of 345 while batting first on this surface, the toss winning skipper will be inclined to chase in the upcoming fixture.

Weather Report

Light rain is expected to put a damper on the match at Chester-le-Street with a 25% possibility of a downpour, and the temperature is predicted to hover around 19 degrees Celsius.
