LAN vs DUR Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team bet from the LAN vs DUR head-to-head contest.

Lancashire to score under 22.5 runs before dismissal one

Lancashire played a match against Durham on June 10 and lost it by two wickets. The opening pair of Phil Salt and Keaton Jennings scored 24 runs together in the match. However, the settled Lancashire opening pair changed due to Salt who travelled to the Netherlands to represent England in the 3-match ODI series. Josh Bohannon has paired with Jennings since then and partnered for 15 and 31 runs respectively in the two matches.

However, what should be noticed is that Josh Bohannon has chipped in with 4 and 7 runs only in the two matches. Durham will surely target Bohannon in the initial overs and try to get an early breakthrough. On the top of that Durham's pace spearhead Andrew Tye is looking sharp. He is currently the joint third-highest wicket-taker after 17 scalps at an average of 10.47. Ben Raine and Paul Coughlin have also picked 10 wickets each. Overall, Lancashire have scored more than 23 runs only twice in their last five innings in the Vitality Blast 2022. On Thursday, Lancashire is most likely to lose a wicket before putting 23 runs on the board. If you feel the same, head over to Pari Match and grab the odds of 1.87 for Lancashire to score under 22.5 runs before dismissal one from the LAN vs DUR head-to-head encounter.
