Match Details

Durham are up against Warwickshire in the upcoming North Group fixture of T20 Blast 2021. The encounter takes place at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street on Sunday (June 20).

This match gets underway at 7:00 PM IST.

Preview

Both teams have made an impressive start to the season and won’t mind adding two more points to their tally. With four wins in six games, Warwickshire are leading the North Group team standings. They have lost just one game while their other fixture got washed out due to rain. They will be fairly confident ahead of this clash.

On the other hand, Durham have won three of their five games and are holding fourth place. Like Warwickshire, one of Durham’s matches was also spoiled due to the weather. Nevertheless, the Cameron Bancroft-led side hasn’t done much wrong this season, and Will Rhodes’ men need a substantial effort to get a victory in this contest.

Captaincy Picks for DUR vs WAR

Sam Hain

Uncapped batsman Sam Hain has been phenomenal this season and played one magnificent knock after another.  The Warwickshire star likes to go after the bowlers from the outset, and playing big knocks is also within his reach. So far, Hain has scored 251 runs in five games with a staggering strike rate of 152.12. Hence, the Durham bowlers must be aware of him.

Carlos Brathwaite

Another player who can shine in this game is Carlos Brathwaite. The West Indies international has been at his A-game this season and played a vital role in Warwickshire’s stellar campaign. With five wickets in nine games, the right-arm pacer is the second leading run-scorer in this competition. One should also not forget what the dasher can do with the bat in hand.
