Derbyshire vs Durham match prediction 3 Jul 2022

DER vs DUR Match 123 North Group Predictions & Betting Tips

Derbyshire(16 points), the third-placed team in North Group, will face eighth-placed Durham in their final league match of the Vitality Blast 2022 on Sunday, July 3 at the County Ground in Derby. Derbyshire would leave nothing to luck and will aim for a win to secure their place in quarter-finals. Second-placed Lancashire and fourth-placed Yorkshire have 16 and 15 points each with one game left. Sixth-placed Leicestershire have 14 points from 13 points and a Derbyshire defeat can open doors for them to qualify for the quarters. However, Leicestershire will have to win their match with a thumping margin to end with a better NRR than Derbyshire.

Durham, on the other hand, will play for pride, having lost nine of their 13 games so far. They can spoil Derbyshire's party on Sunday. As we gear up for match 123 of the English T20 league, I have brought to you the best three betting tips from the DER vs DUR match 123 head-to-head encounter.

DER vs DUR Player Bets:

Shan Masood, Brooke Guest and Ashton Turner are my top three player betting tips from the DER vs DUR match prediction. Have a look at it for reaping the best returns.

Shan Masood to score over 26.5 runs

Derbyshire captain Shan Masood has been in red hot form lately and expecting him to score high once again won't be wrong. The opener is currently the third-highest run-scorer in the Vitality Blast 2022. He has scored 516 runs in 13 matches at an average of 46.90. Masood has hit as many as five fifties so far. He played a warm-up match against India on July 1 and scored eight runs, however playing against a quality Indian side would help him further in the series. On June 9, he fired his team to a 6-wicket win against Leicestershire after scoring 73 off just 32 balls. He followed that with a 65-run knock against Worcestershire as his team won by 39 runs. Masood returned from the first week-long break in Vitality Blast 2022 to score 34 runs against Yorkshire, following it up with unbeaten 45, 57, 18 and 75 against Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Lancashire. Masood on Sunday will play his first match after the second-week long break in the tournament. In the week-long breaks, Masood has turned up for Derbyshire in the County Championship 2022, where he has become the first player to score thousand runs in the season. The same has helped him massively to get accustomed to the English conditions. Before coming to England for the County Championship 2022, Masood featured in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021-22 for Multan Sultans. He finished the T20 tournament as the third-highest run-scorer. The Kuwait-born scored 478 runs at an average of 39.83. Overall, the 32-year-old has played in 106 T20 matches and scored 2742 runs at an average of 27.42. He has one hundred and 18 fifties to his name in the format. Considering Masood's astonishing form, it's very likely that the Pakistan cricketer will come all guns blazing in a must-win game for his team.

Brooke Guest to score high

With an average of 23.75, Brooke Guest has scored just 190 runs in 13 matches, however the Derbyshire wicketkeeper-batsman Brooke Guest has remained unbeaten for his team four times in the last seven matches. The 23-year-old scored 23 runs against India in a warm-up game on Friday before being castled by Umran Malik. His batting effort helped Derbyshire post a 151-run target against India after the top-order collapse. The same is expected to keep him in good stead against a struggling Durham side on Sunday. The 25-year-old has played a total of 29 T20 matches and scored 363 runs at an average of 25.92. In his last four outings in the Vitality Blast 2022, Guest has remained unbeaten three times. Batting against Nottinghamshire in his second last outing in the tournament, Brooke Guest top-scored for his team with 40 runs off just 27 balls. The match against an international side like India would have given Guest, Derbyshire's fourth-highest run-scorer, a major boost to his confidence and that is expected to come handy in the match against Durham on Sunday. If you feel the same, proceed to 1XBET and keep an eye on Brooke Guest from the DER vs DUR head-to-head encounter.

Ashton Turner to score over 21.5 runs

Durham captain Ashton Turner has played only seven matches in the series because of an injury and ending his campaign on a high looks very difficult for him. Turner scored 33 runs off just 18 balls in his last match at Nottinghamshire, however his scores in the last three matches before that innings are - 3, 12 and 3. Three innings before injury forced him to miss six matches, the right-hander had scored 21*, 32 and 45 but he has just failed to get his mojo back since his return. Overall, the 29-year-old has played 138 T20 matches and scored 1992 runs at a very modest average of 21.89. He has just got nine fifties to his name in the format. He has been out of the Australia team after August 2021. In the 18 T20I matches Turner has played for Australia, he has scored 108 runs at an average of 12. Scoring high will get difficult for Ashton Turner, who has scored 104 runs at an average of 20.80, against third-placed Derbyshire who are expected to come all guns blazing in a must-win game. If you feel the same, proceed to 1XBET and keep an eye on Ashton Turner from the DER vs DUR head-to-head encounter.
