DUR vs HAM Match Prediction : Quarter Final 2, Vitality T20 Blast, 2025

This Durham lineup will be well aware of the shortcomings in its Hampshire opponents’ squad. Hampshire’s record at the end of the group stage was an almost even split of wins and losses. The home team should have enough weaponry to expose the cracks of the visitors.

DUR vs HAM Team Previews

Durham

Opener Graham Clark has been in scintillating touch. His 79 and a record‑breaking opening stand with skipper Alex Lees propelled Durham to a dominant win over Northamptonshire. Captain Lees roared his way to a maiden T20 ton on the day.

Middle‑order firepower comes from David Bedingham’s composed finesse. Colin Ackermann’s brutal 83 runs off just 33 balls underscores the team’s explosive potential in the middle. Ackermann and Will Rhodes have 288 runs each this tournament. Wicket‑keeper Ollie Robinson brings solidity behind the stumps.

The bowling arsenal is equally potent. Ben Raine’s threat, Matthew Potts’s international‑calibre pace and the crafty spin of Callum Parkinson offer variety and control for all scenarios. Potts ripped through Northamptonshire with three for 27 against them.

Emerging talents like Codi Yusuf and leg-spinner Nathan Sowter bolster the depth and balance of the bowling unit. Sowter recently became a 2025 Men’s Hundred champion with the Oval Invincibles.

Hampshire

Toby Albert, despite being the team’s leading run scorer with 472 runs, has masked inconsistency from the middle-order batters below him. Both Joe Weatherley and Benny Howell are part of the core of the team. They failed miserably with scores of two and six in the team’s previous match.

James Fuller, Liam Dawson and Fletcha Middleton lengthen the depth of the team across all departments. Neither Fuller nor Middleton have put up the numbers the team requires this season.

Notably, Australian Hilton Cartwright was only signed in mid July for the final six group games and will disrupt continuity with him being unavailable for the knockouts.

Scott Currie, though among the highest wicket takers overall, still leaks runs at nearly eight an over. The quick bowler will make an impact but at a cost. Young pacer Sonny Baker has done relatively well this season but that is only a short period of eight wickets in six matches to judge him from.

Chris Wood will need to do the heavy lifting for this lineup with his left-arm pace.

DUR vs HAM Toss Prediction

The damp weather is likely to be a dictator in the decision at the toss. The home side’s past three matches, which ended in results, all ended in favour of the side batting second.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The surface at Riverside is generally bowling-friendly. It offers good bounce and consistent carry, with swing and seam movement under cloudy skies, especially early on. Batters tend to endure a grind rather than free-flowing strokeplay. Pace has taken 62 percent of the wickets at this venue.

Chester-le-Street will be a mostly cloudy and wet place with a 96 percent chance of rain on matchday. Temperatures will be moderate, but the high level of humidity means the weather will feel warmish.

DUR vs HAM: Who Will Win?

Durham was knocked out at the same stage in last season’s T20 Blast. They are, however, facing a side that failed to get through to the knockout rounds last year. That potentially gives them a slight edge over their opponents, besides claiming more wins this year than Hampshire as well.

Bet on Durham to win.

DUR vs HAM win percentage stands at 46% in favor of DUR.
