Pitch Report
The pitch at the County Ground in Derby is a good one to bat on with there being little room for error for the bowlers. While there should be some swing early on, the bowlers will have to vary their pace as the match progresses.
The spinners should get some turn in the middle overs, although the dimensions of the ground go against them. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss with 160-170 being a good total.
Today’s DER vs DUR Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Ollie Robinson: Ollie Robinson has had his moments in the T20 Blast season although he is still due for a big one for Durham. The wicketkeeper-batter didn't score many runs against Nottinghamshire in his previous game and will be keen on getting back to runscoring form.
With Robinson capable of scoring quick runs in the top-order, he is one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Wayne Madsen: Wayne Madsen has been sensational in the Derbyshire middle-order, scoring 385 runs in 13 T20 Blast matches. Madsen has been brilliant against the spinners and has chipped in with the ball as well.
With his form and ability to score big runs, he is a good addition to your DER vs DUR Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Luis Reece: Luis Reece has blown hot and cold in the Derbyshire batting unit, impressing in patches at the top of the order. The Derbyshire all-rounder has been used sparingly with the ball, although his ability to tee off from ball one holds him in good stead. With Reece's skill-set bound to come good, he can be backed in this game.
Bowler
Andrew Tye: Andrew Tye has been impressive for Durham, picking up 20 wickets in the T20 Blast this season. He has used his variations and death bowling skills to good effect, holding his own in the death overs. With a heap of experience to fall back on as well, he is a must-have in your DER vs DUR Dream11 fantasy team.
