DUR vs LEI Team Previews
Durham
Despite not having the best of starts, Durham has managed to turn things around a bit by winning back-to-back games as it heads to this contest.
David Bedingham is in excellent form, scoring 40+ runs in both his innings. He will once again be the key batsman for Durham in the middle over. He will be joined by Oliver Robinson and Ashton Turner, both of whom can play some big shots.
Alex Lees and Graham Clarke will open the batting for the team but they haven’t been consistent enough. Coming to the bowling, Ben Raine picked up a fifer in the last match and was one of the key architects of the team’s win.
He will be joined by Paul Coughlin and Matthew Potts in the seam department, while Nathan Sowter and Callum Parkinson are the two spinners.

Leicestershire
Leicester has been a bit inconsistent this season. With 2 wins in 4 games, the team is currently 4th on the points table.<br /> Peter Handscomb and Rishi Patel have batted well for Leicester, scoring an aggregate of over 100 runs.
They will be supported by the likes of Wiaan Mulder, Ben Cox, and Louis Kimber, all of whom have had some good starts. However, their inability to convert those starts to big innings has cost the team on quite a few occasions.
Coming to the bowling, Josh Hull, Scott Currie, and Ben Mike make up for a strong seam attack and have picked up 13 wickets between them. However, the spin department has only Rehan Ahmed as the full-time slow bowler.
