DUR vs LAN Team Previews
Durham
Due to rain yesterday, the Durham team had to share a point with Nottinghamshire. This has pushed them higher in the points table at number seven position. They will still have to work hard to make their way into the top four and qualify for the competition's knockout stages. As far as Durham's batting department is concerned, they depend on the likes of Graham Clark and Alex Lees to get them big scores at the top. One of these two will look to anchor the innings in this contest, as their middle order appears to be dodgy.
The only other reliable batter in the Durham middle order is Ashton Turner. He has scored 122 runs from his last five innings at a strike rate of 135. The standout performer for Durham in this year's Blast is Ben Raine. He has picked up nine wickets from his last five innings with an economy rate of 7.08. Other dependable bowlers in this bowling unit are Matthew Potts and Callum Parkinson. Both these bowlers have picked up six wickets each in this season. Potts, in particular, can be handy on this surface.

Pitch and Conditions
Both matches played at this venue this year have been low-scoring affairs. There is a possibility of overcast conditions, and the surface here will be difficult for seamers. Otherwise, the Chester-Le-Street ground will be a balanced surface. Batting first on this track might be dicey, with lateral movement for pacers.
We are expecting some showers during this contest over the weekend. Today's weather is likely to remain cloudy with intermittent showers. Low stands on the ground allow the breeze to blow through, so weather conditions are also likely to favor bowlers.
DUR vs LAN Betting Tips
The Lancashire team is in red-hot touch during this year's competition. They also have a favorable head-to-head record against Durham in the Blast. Lancashire won the only game played between these two teams this year. Durham's batting has been their weak link this year, and they will have to pull up their socks to beat Lancashire. So, we will bet with Lancashire to win this contest.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The Lancashire batting appears to be more consistent than their opponents. So, you can expect the top batter to be from Lancashire.
Even the Lancashire bowling attack appears to be more consistent. You can bet on it to produce the top bowler.
Although Clarke was among runs in the last contest, you can expect him to score less than 24 runs with adverse weather conditions this time.
There is no logical reason for this guess. The Durham skipper might get lucky.
