THE LOWDOWN
Three defeats in their last four matches have halted Durham quite considerably as they have slipped towards those competing to get into the top four and qualification. The northerners maintain the services of Ben Stokes but will need to step up ahead of playing a Leicestershire Foxes side that have some of the leading run scorers and leading wicket takers in the competition and yet they are unable to put together some consistent form. The Foxes are on the verge of elimination.
THE PREDICTION
Durham should win this match. As mentioned, they are in indifferent form but they remain by far the better of the two teams. The Foxes have the potential to score big in Josh Inglis and Scott Steel but Chester-le-Street is a ground that could negate their explosiveness at the top-of-the-order due to the large playing area as seen in their failure at Emirates Old Trafford towards the start of the competition. Durham are the favourites.
