DUR vs LEI Match Prediction : T20 Blast 2025

Durham come into this clash on the back of a narrow three-wicket loss to Lancashire, where their top-order faltered early but managed to post a respectable 155 thanks to late contributions from Ollie Robinson and Will Rhodes. Bowling-wise, Nathan Sowter and Neesham were effective, but a power-packed Chris Green cameo tilted the match away. Despite this, Durham are still well-placed on the table with 28 points and a healthy NRR, making this a must-win to keep top-four hopes strong. Captain Alex Lees will be keen for the experienced likes of Bedingham and Neesham to fire in what could be a pivotal home fixture.

Leicestershire, meanwhile, find themselves in a tougher spot. They were outclassed by Worcestershire last time out despite a spirited 70* from Ben Cox. The top-order collapsed once again with three wickets falling inside eight overs. With the ball, they failed to contain Worcestershire’s middle order, conceding 176 in under 18 overs. Skipper Louis Kimber will be desperate for Rishi Patel and Budinger to fire early, while Rehan Ahmed and van Beek must step up with the ball to counter Durham’s balanced line-up.

With Durham playing at home and boasting greater stability across departments, they enter as favorites—but Leicestershire’s wildcard potential with hitters like Budinger and match-winners like Rehan makes this far from a done deal.

Bet on Durham to win.
