Lancashire Lightning vs Durham prediction
Lancashire Lightning made a big statement with a comfortable 22-run win over Yorkshire Vikings in the Roses match at Emirates Old Trafford, which took them to 22 points in the table. Now they must beat Durham and hope Essex lose against Surrey, which would send them through to the last eight. However, Durham’s net-run-rate ensures that they would be the ones to go through with a win over Lancashire combined with an Essex defeat.
Durham edged past Derbyshire Falcons by five runs on Friday, but it wasn’t totally convincing and with a long road-trip down to Manchester, they start this game at a significant disadvantage. Lancashire are at home again and really impressed in a high-pressure televised game vs Yorkshire, which makes it well worth backing them to defeat Durham.
Lancashire Lightning vs Durham tip: Lancashire Lightning to win
