Lancashire face Durham in the North Group match of Vitality T20 Blast 2022 on Thursday, June 23, at Stanley Park, Blackpool from 11 PM IST (Indian Standard Time).  

Lancashire have been in good form in this T20 Blast, winning seven of their 10 games. They have scored 15 points and lead the North Group points table. Steven Croft’s 44-ball 64 along with Dane Vilas’ blitz helped them chase 180 runs in 18.2 overs against Nottinghamshire in the last game.

Durham have been in poor form, losing four of their last five T20 Blast matches. Andrew Tye’s five-wicket haul was not good enough as they were beaten by Leicestershire by 51 runs in their last match. They are eighth in the North Group points table and desperately need a win.

Lancashire vs Durham Vitality T20 Blast 2022 prediction 

Lancashire have been in good form, winning their last two away T20 Blast matches. With seven wins in 10 games, Lancashire will be favourites to win this encounter at home.

However, one of Durham’s three wins this season came against Lancashire in the last head-to-head and their chances cannot be ruled out.
