This looks like a very difficult match to call with both teams having similar records and similar net run rates. The teams are really evenly matched and both have everything to play for as a win would put either of them in an excellent position to make the quarter-finals in third or fourth place depending on how the other results go.

Durham lost this match by 6 wickets and is now on a losing streak of 3 matches. They have lost by 30 runs to Northamptonshire and by 8 wickets to Leicestershire. They should have had a top 4 place sorted but their dip in form has come at a bad time for them.
If we look further back we can see that they have only won 1 match in the last 6 in the Blast. This comes after they won 3 of their first 4 matches and were sitting at the top of the league.
