While Leicestershire still has an outright chance of making it to the quarter finals of the T20 Blast, Durham more or less are out of the race. But, still they would not like to end up on the losing side, especially at their home ground. Historically, the hosts have an excellent record at home, but the visitors, in a do-or-die situation, will give their all to grab full points from the fixture. So, we are in for an exciting match to say the least.

Apart from enjoying the contest, do not forget to place your bets from the betting market - to win as much as you can by the weekend. I have already assorted the top three winning bets for you, so take your time, go through the analysis and invest your money strategically.

Alex Lees to score over 21.5 runs @ 1.83

Alex Lees has been the lone star for the Durham side in this season of the T20 Blast so far, with him scoring a total of 241 runs so far (the highest by any batsman in the tournament so far), at an average of 60.25 runs, with three fifties, and all scores above 21 runs - remarkable, isn't it? Overall, he's played 14 matches for Durham, having racked up 369 runs at a rate of 41.00 runs per innings, which again supports our cause. But there's more, so keep on reading.

The Riverside Ground, in Chester-le-Street has been a happy hunting ground for the batsman, with him playing 13 matches at the venue, amassing a total of 380 runs at an average of 47.50 runs per innings. Overall, he's played 50 T20s, during which he's managed to score 1126 runs, averaging 28.51 runs per innings. Well, as the evidence points to one direction, and it would be foolish not to invest in this market.

Durham to more than 5.5 sixes @ 1.83 (Bet 365)

Too risky a bet? Apparently it might look, but there's more than it meets the eye. Durham has played only five matches this season, having 32 sixes, which is equal to 6.4 per match, in which they've hit at least six in three of thos games. In the last four matches at the Riverside Ground, in Chester-le-Street, Durham's batsmen have logged a total of 27 sixes, at a rate of almost seven per innings, which is exceptional.

On the flip side, Leicestershire have conceded a total of 19 sixes (8, 6, 5) in the three matches they've bowled so far, having shipped in at least six in their last two matches. Overall, Durham is a side with many players capable of going the aerial route, which makes the bet safer. For instance, a total of eight players have hit at least one six in five matches this season. So, it won't be too tough an ask for the side to register at least six maximums in the upcoming match. There's no doubt this is a winning bet and we should not overlook it.

Runs at the fall of first wicket over 21.5 @ 1.80 (Bet 365)

Arguably one of the most lucrative deals in the market, and you should not miss an opportunity to cash in the opportunity. In the last four H2H matches between these two sides, the opening partnerships were - 18, 48, 39, 47, with a total of 152 runs at an average of over 38 runs per innings with the opening stand always north of 21 runs. But, you would be amazed once you hear about the H2H records at this venue. In the last five matches between these two sides at the venue, the opening stands read - 48, 47, 39, 24, 45, scoring a total of 203 runs at a rate of over 40 runs for the opening stand.

In the last three matches, the Durham openers have put on - 70, 77, 17 runs respectively, which averages 54.66 per innings, with the last two scores of above 21 runs. Meanwhile, the Riverside Ground, in Chester-le-Street has witnessed big opening partnerships in the past, with stands of 70, 77, 15, 170 in the past four matches, with an accumulation of 332 runs at a whopping average of 83 runs before the fall of the first wicket. Moreover, three of those occasions had scores of over 21 runs. So, what are you waiting for? Just place your bets as quickly as possible.
