Head-to-Head Record

Durham and Yorkshire have faced each other 42 times in T20s. Yorkshire holds a slight edge with 21 wins, while Durham has 18 victories. Three matches have either ended in a tie or had no result. This shows that the rivalry is evenly balanced, and both teams know how to handle each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

In their last five meetings, Durham has won three matches, Yorkshire has won one, and one match was washed out. Durham won their most recent clash just a few days ago on 15th June 2025, which will give them added confidence heading into this fixture.

Recent Form

Looking at their last five matches:

Durham: L, W, W, W, L

Yorkshire: L, L, W, W, L

Durham appears to be in slightly better form and seems more balanced as a unit. However, Yorkshire has some dangerous players who can turn the game around if they perform on the day.

Weather Conditions

The weather in Chester-le-Street is expected to be clear and cool on match day. The temperature will hover around 17°C, with 78% humidity and a mild wind speed of 18 km/hr. Importantly, there’s no cloud cover, which means we can expect a full match without any weather interruptions.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Riverside Ground usually supports fast bowlers early in the game, especially under lights. The ball tends to swing and bounce, giving seamers an upper hand. As the match progresses, the surface slows down, bringing spin bowlers into play.

Teams chasing have generally done better at this ground. Out of the last eight T20 games played here, five have been won by the team batting second. The average first-innings score is around 138, and the highest score recorded is 195/5. This suggests that setting a target might be tough if the batting team doesn’t adapt quickly.

Final Prediction

Given their recent form, strong bowling attack, and a win against Yorkshire just a few days ago, Durham seems to have the upper hand in this contest. While Yorkshire has big names like Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan, they haven’t been consistent enough as a team this season.

Unless Yorkshire produces something special, Durham is likely to come out on top in this match.
