DUR vs LAN Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today's English T20 Blast match - June 17th, 2021

Durham will meet Lancashire in Match No. 37 of the Vitality T20 Blast 2021 on Thursday. The Riverside Ground in Chester-Le-Street will play host to the T20 Blast fixture between the two sides.

Lancashire have had a great T20 Blast campaign so far, with three wins from four games. They are placed second in the North Group table. A win over Durham would take them to the top of the table.

Durham, meanwhile, have won two of their three outings. They had successive wins over Yorkshire and Leicestershire but are coming off a loss against Nottinghamshire.

Durham will thus be keen to get back to winning ways in the ongoing T20 Blast season.

On that note, let's take a look at three players who could be your Dream11 team’s captain or vice-captain picks for the North group T20 Blast encounter between Durham and Lancashire.

England spinner Matt Parkinson has been Lancashire’s best bet with the ball so far this season. The leggie has accounted for seven wickets from four games. His best figures of 3/28 came in their T20 Blast season opener against Derbyshire.
