Current Form:
Nottinghamshire Outlaws:
Nottinghamshire have endured a difficult start to the competition, losing all three of their opening matches and finding themselves rooted to the bottom of the table. While there have been moments of promise, the Outlaws have struggled to put together complete performances with either bat or ball.
George Munsey and Tom Moores remain key figures in the batting line-up, but Nottinghamshire will need greater consistency throughout the order if they are to turn their season around. Their bowling attack has also found it difficult to contain opposition batters, placing additional pressure on the batting group.
Durham:
Durham have enjoyed an excellent start to their Vitality Blast campaign, winning two of their opening three fixtures and establishing themselves among the early frontrunners in the North Group. Their batting unit has looked strong throughout the tournament, while the bowling attack has consistently delivered breakthroughs at key moments.
The presence of experienced campaigners such as Alex Lees and Graham Clark has provided stability at the top of the order, while their bowling unit continues to benefit from the quality of Matthew Potts and the rest of the seam attack. Having already secured two wins, Durham will be keen to strengthen their position near the top of the standings.
Batting Stats T20
Players to Watch: (Stats from the 2026 Blast)
Nottinghamshire Outlaws:
Tom Moores remains a key player in the Nottinghamshire middle order thanks to his aggressive batting style and ability to clear the boundary consistently. With 109 runs in 3 innings at a SR of 188, his experience in pressure situations could prove crucial as the Outlaws look to secure their first win.
George Munsey provides explosive firepower at the top of the order and has the ability to take the game away from opponents during the powerplay. Although he has started off modestly with 83 runs in 3 innings at a SR of 140.7, his attacking approach makes him one of Nottinghamshire’s biggest threats with the bat.
Mohammad Ali has emerged as an exciting bowling option for Nottinghamshire, having picked up 4 wickets at an economy of 8.25, so far. His ability to attack the stumps and maintain pressure will be important if the Outlaws are to challenge Durham.
Durham:
Alex Lees continues to be one of Durham’s most important batters, providing consistency and leadership at the top of the order. With 101 runs in 3 innings at a SR of 174.13, his ability to build an innings while maintaining a healthy scoring rate makes him a vital component of Durham’s batting success.
Graham Clark remains one of the most dangerous stroke-makers in county cricket. So far, he has managed 87 runs at a SR of 174. His aggressive intent during the powerplay overs and ability to accelerate against both pace and spin make him a genuine match-winner on his day.
Matthew Potts has developed into one of the most reliable seam bowlers in the domestic game. With 7 wickets at a SR of 10.3, his ability to strike with the new ball and maintain control during the death overs gives Durham a major advantage in crucial phases of the innings.
