Durham won by 28 runs
Yorkshire 189/7 in 20 overs
Jonathan Tattersall 39(33) | Jordan Thompson 33(24) Ben Raine 3/27(4) | Nathan Sowter 1/30(4)
Some muscular blows from David Wiese towards the end but it turned out to be too little too late but he will surely get some confidence going into the coming games. The target of 218 was always going to be a tall order for Yorkshire hence they needed a blistering start to get anywhere close to the victory target.
The start was a magical one for Durham as Adam Lyth blazed his way in the powerplay, smashing 18 runs from the first over and carrying it on in the next over as well. Dawid Malan kept the run chase going with some beautiful pickup shots but couldn’t quite continue the charge and was dismissed soon after.
Ben Raine bowled brilliantly in the middle overs, not allowing the batters to get away as the required rate kept climbing at an alarming rate. Jonathan Tattersall looked in good touch but a score of 39 in 33 deliveries during a 218-run chase isn’t good enough and that hurt Yorkshire.
Despite some late-order hitting from Wiese, it was a mountain too tall to climb. Raine took 3 wickets and was the most successful among the Durham bowlers while Tattersall was the top scorer but couldn’t quite make it an impactful knock.

19.6 Ben Raine to Dom Bess, THAT'S THAT! Durham make it two in two and Yorkshire slump into their third defeat in a row, they are yet to find that elusive win here. Low full toss on the fourth stump, Bess walks across to paddle it but misses, pings on the pad and they get a leg-bye.
Dom Bess, RHB is the new man in.
19.5 Ben Raine to David Wiese, OUT! PICKED OUT DEEP MID-WICKET! That is the end of David Wiese. Length delivery on the middle and off, Wiese whacked it to deep mid-wicket, fielder dives forward and takes a stunner.
19.4 Ben Raine to David Wiese, SIX MORE! Too little too late this for the Yorkshie team. Short on the fourth stump, sits up nicely for Wiese as he went back and SMOKES it way over long-off for another maximum.
19.3 Ben Raine to David Wiese, SIX! BANG! Short and angling down the leg-side, Wiese backed away and PUMMELS the pull over fine-leg for another maximum.
19.2 Ben Raine to David Wiese, slanted in a low full toss on the pads, Wiese whacked it to deep mid-wicket, they finish the single and they hare back for the brace as Mike puts in the dive.
19.1 Ben Raine to Ben Mike, length delivery on the leg-stump, Mike swings across the line but gets the inside edge to short fine-leg for one.
