YOR vs DUR: Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Probable Playing XIs - June 18, 2021

Yorkshire and Durham will clash horns on Friday (June 18, 2021). The teams from the North Group of the T20 Blast will face off at Headingley in Leeds.

Yorkshire are in the driver’s seat with three victories and just one defeat. Their net run rate is on the positive side and they currently occupy second spot on the points table. Their only defeat came during their previous encounter against Durham. Yorkshire bounced back from that defeat with two back-to-back victories and will look to extend their winning run.

Durham started the tournament with two back-to-back wins but suffered a 13-run defeat to Nottinghamshire in their third encounter. They got back to winning ways, however, in their very next match against Lancashire. Durham are currently in fourth spot in the North Group and will look to gather some momentum with another victory.

Yorkshire will start this encounter as favorites due to their current form as well as the stacked squad they have in their possession.

Pitch report

Two matches have been played thus far at this venue, and the second game was a high-scoring thriller. It is a largely flat wicket and should yield plenty of runs right from the first ball. However, bowlers with variety in their arsenal are bound to receive some assistance in the middle overs.

200 is the average first innings score here with teams predominantly wanting to bat first.
